Create Extra Info Pages

Hi Guys,

The info on how to create extra info pages was posted on the FAQ before, but now its disappeared and I cant find out....ive also tried to search this forum but I aint getting anythin...
so if one of you fellow Xcarters could help me out that'd be great....I'd like to create some extra info pages...

For example, on my home page : http://www.glamour-hut.com/ghshop/customer/home.php

I would like to create a page that lists all my categories, when a person clicks on "shop"...

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Japanchick

I dont know where the post is but here is an example of what you need to do.

Create a file called extrainfo.tpl in your skin1/customer/main/ directory.

Here is some sample code for your extrainfo.tpl file:

Code:

{ include file="location.tpl" last_location="Extra Info"} 

{capture name=dialog} 

{/capture} 

{ include file="dialog.tpl" title="Extra Info" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

Then go into skin1/customer/ and open the file home_main.tpl then insert these two lines of code

Code:

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "extra"} 

{include file="customer/main/extrainfo.tpl"}

Then you can create a hyperlink as such

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/yourlink/customer/home.php?mode=extra

This should get you started. Sincererly, John7

hey john,

thanks for help - it works perfectly =D

Thanks to the above info, I was able to create some pages with extra information for my client. He wanted a "links" page, an "education" page and so on.

Now, he would like to edit these pages in Dreamweaver. Is there any way to set that up easily?
thanks,

I just found a solution to my question over in the Forum FAQ section. Sorry to bother.
