help.php?section=xyz and static pages
 

When I create static pages, X-cart creates a link like this: http://www.mysite.com/store/pages.php?pageid=1

How do I get it so that the link is like:
http://www.mysite.com/store/help.php?section=about_us

It's more descriptive that way than having a page_id assigned to it. I've searched the forum to no avail. Thanks for any help.

That isn't the way the static pages work. If you want to use a link like the contact us forum, you need to create that in the help section, the index.tpl file.

Thanks Padriac. That's exactly what I was looking for. When I was creating static pages, it was automatically sticking them in the Help section, but the link was pointing to the page ID which is not intuitive. Thanks again.

You can remove/move the code that automatically places static pages in the help section. It is this piece of code in help.tpl:

{include file="pages_menu.tpl"}

You can put it in another menu, or remove it all together and just call your static pages using hard links.

If I were wanting to create a new page and make the link appear under the 'category' box on the left, what would I change the code to? Searched and could not find.
thank you

Just hard-code the link in the bottom of categories.tpl
