Adding Links to Information Sidebox

Hello all,

I've been poking around in the forums and on my own, and haven't seen anything applicable. My apologies in advance if I simply missed it.

I would like to make two changes to the "Information" sidebar:

  1. Change the "Shipping & Returns" title to "Shipping Information."

  2. Add a link to a page titled "Repairs & Returns."

I have been able to create an E-Z page called Repairs & Returns, and to create it as a sidebox; but it comes up as a new sidebox titled "Important Links." I'd like it to appear in the Information box directly under "Shipping Information."

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Adding Links to Information Sidebox

Learn about the developers tool kit to locate files to alter defines in

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=39

Might be easier to create ezpaqes with internal links to all of the info pages and re-title the box then turn off the info box

Re: Adding Links to Information Sidebox

Thanks for the quick turnaround, Kobra.

I've gone into the tutorial, searched the Developer's Toolkit for "Shipping & Returns," and found it in the /includes/languages/english.php area, line 161,

I went into the /includes/languages/english.php file, backed it up, and altered the line to read: define('BOX_TOOLS_DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO','Shipping Information');

However, when I refresh my cart, the test is still showing up as Shipping & Returns.

I went back into the Developer's Toolkit to search for BOX_TOOLS_DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO and came up with no other pages requiring a change.

Thank you in advance for your continued assistance.

Re: Adding Links to Information Sidebox

Aha! I found some of my problem: I made changes in the /admin/ folder rather than the plain folder.

My mistake, Kobra, and I thank you for your patience.

Re: Adding Links to Information Sidebox

The site is at http://triskelemoon.com/cart/

I have fixed the names thanks to the Developer's Toolkit and your kind patience.

If I could stretch it a bit more, the toolkit does not seem to address the concept of putting "Repairs & Refunds" into the Information Bar rather than its own sidebox. Is there a tutorial or FAQ that I am missing which addresses this issue?

Many thanks,

Ivan23

I am having the same problem and I have looked but everything looks Chinese today can someone tell me how to do this?

I have three ez pages created and I simply need them to show up under "information" and not at the top under Important links.
So sorry I'm sure there is a simple answer I am just not on top of it today.

Re: Adding Links to Information Sidebox

First rename "Important links" to Information in english.php

Add ezpage internal links for all "Information box" entries.

Turn off the information side box

Re: Adding Links to Information Sidebox

I have also tried everything and cannot get the more information side box links to say anything but, page 2, page 3, page 4. I can get the page title and everything to say what I need, just not the links.

Anyone have a suggestion? :frusty:
