How to add a new page under Help Zone? I'd like to creat a warranty under help zone, just like the Terms & Conditions page, the link should be sth like /help.php?section=warranty ? Thanks.

Go to 'Static Pages' and create a new Embedded Static Page. It will show as a link in the help menu.

Thank you for your fast reply. If I create a new Embedded Static Page, it's under the Help Menu, but it's not under the help zone, is it possible to creat it under help zone and the link is sth like /help.php?section=conditions? Maybe I need to edit the help.php to add a section? Thanks.

Just add a link to it on the help zone page. It is skin1/help/general.tpl. Copy the link from the help menu.

But the page I creat from static page got a difference link, doesn't look like help.php?section=...

Like I said...copy the link. It won't be the same as the help section links. It doesn't matter.

Here's what I did for extra help pages in 4.1.6:

Say you want to create a warranty information page.

1. create a new language variable in admin > languages. call it warranty
2. create a file called warranty.tpl and add it to /skin1/help/
3. open warranty.tpl and copy this code into it:

{capture name=dialog}

...your code...

{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_warranty content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra='width="100%"'}

4. open index.tpl which is also in /skin1/help/ and add this code:

 {elseif $section eq "warranty"}
{include file="help/warranty.tpl"}

5. add the following to general.tpl, which is also in /skin1/help/, where you want the button to display on the help.php page:

{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_warranty href="help.php?section=warranty"}

This way when you click a button named warranty, your warranty info appears in a dialog box with a title, and is integrated with the rest of your site.

You can see it in action on http://www.urban-kings.com/help.php
