Edit "More Information" sidebox pages?

The default ZC installation comes with a sidebar module "More Information". The entries there are Page 2, Page 3, Page 4. I found how to edit the content of those pages (Admin -> Define Pages Editor) but how do I change the title? How can I add or remove those pages from the box? Could I add such a page that runs some PHP code?

I searched the forum and tutorial pages, but couldn't find anything. Everyone is talking about Ez-Pages only, but I believe those aren't EZ-pages right?

I'm having the same issue/question and I have searched high and low and have not been able to find the answer. The tutorial madnumbler links to shows you how to edit the "Page 2" HEADINGS and titles, but that doesn't change my front page from saying "Page 2", "Page 3", and "Page 4" under "more information". I want to be able to have something like "FAQ, About us" etc titles in the "more information" box. And, as dude_s said, it would be nice if I could add more pages instead of just the page 2, 3, and 4...

dude_s, I found a partial answer for you (with LOTS of searching, hehe).

Edit /includes/languages/(yourtemplate)/english.php

Search for "BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE" and you'll see 'Page 2' and 'Page 3' and 'Page 4' which you can edit to 'FAQ', 'About Us', etc. That will change the titles in the "More Information" sidebox on all your pages.

You can follow the tutorial madmumbler linked to to change the page titles on the actual pages.

If you want to get fancy about renaming the actual filename, and/or adding more pages, I think you can edit /includes/modules/sideboxes/more_information.php , but I've not done that yet, so you're on your own. :) (although if you end up doing it, I'd appreciate a little help doing it myself!)

Good luck!

I like to customize stuff (I probably have control issues) and I was bangin' around in the Zen Cart trying to customize the 'Information' and 'More Information' side boxes and I came up with the following:
To disable links like Page 2 & Page 3 in the 'More Information' sidebox,
open /includes/modules/sideboxes/more_information.php
and change the page status from one to zero:
CHANGE:
if (DEFINE_PAGE_3_STATUS <= 1)
TO:
if (DEFINE_PAGE_3_STATUS <= 0)

I found it helpful to create a template directory(/includes/modules/sideboxes/your-template) with copies of these files so the main cart would be unaffected in case I want to copt the whole cart over to another site.

I have submitted a mod to the downloads section (awaiting approval) that will add Pages 5, 6, and 7 to the More Information sidebox.

PM if you are interested in the download.

You best use template overrides though. Best read up on them if you arn't sure. That way when you upgrade your zencart, you dont risk over writing your customised changes.

I have ghosts in my site!!

I am baffled. I am trying to change the names of the pages in the More Information sidebox. I have followed all of the tuitorials, all of the comments I could find in the forums to no avail. I then searched my entire site for "Page 2" using the Developers toolbox. Everywhere that I found the words "Page 2", I changed them. The pages still say Page 2.

Where is this coming from? :dontgetit

Fixed it - Not sure what I was doing wrong. It was in the English.php file. I deleted the old file on my site and replaced it with the one on my computer. Perhaps I was not overwriting the old one. Anyway - It works.

Thanks Shadoh, it works as described, Kudos!!!

I'm trying to edit the link names in the 'more information' sidebox. I successfully changed the link names from "page 2, page 3 and page 4" to "ancestry, a curse, and hoodoo". But when you click the links, it takes you to a page that's "not found". How do I update the links and tell the pages where to go?

info:
I'm using the latest version of zencart, and my site is http://voodoobag.com ..I also turned off the more information sidebox so nobody would click on broken links. I only want to know where to go in zencart to change the link names. Thanks in advance.

Are you using an override directory system?

to edit them: admin panel/ tools/ define pages editor

2. click the dropdown and edit page2.php

Thank you. :smile:

Hi,

If I´m adding a page 5, the SQL will read like this, correct?
'Define Page_5', 'DEFINE_PAGE_5_STATUS', '5'

INSERT INTO configuration ( configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function,
set_function)
VALUES ('Define Page_5', 'DEFINE_PAGE_5_STATUS', '5', 'Enable the Defined Page 1 Link/Text?<br />0=
Link ON, Define Text OFF<br />1= Link ON, Define Text ON<br />2= Link OFF, Define Text ON<br />3= Link
OFF, Define Text OFF', 25, 100, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(''0'', ''1'', ''2'', ''3''),');

I have follow all the steps form the PDF file and the content of page 5 doesn´t display. Any ideas of what I did wrong?

BTW, forget my previous question.

'Define Page_5', 'DEFINE_PAGE_5_STATUS', '1',
