Add link to help box/section?

How do you add a .php link to the help box/section? I've Installed an FAQ Mod but adding the link to the help box/section doesn't seem to work (probably 'cos the instructions were not made for 4.3.x XD)

Any ideas how it's done?

Cheers.

[Edited, realised I'd put FTP when I meant to put FAQ]

Find /skin1/help.tmp

In it you should see code as such:

Code:

{capture name=menu}

<a href="help.php?section=contactus&amp;mode=update" class="VertMenuItems">{$lng.lbl_contact_us}</a><br />

<a href="help.php?section=business" class="VertMenuItems">{$lng.lbl_privacy_statement}</a><br />

<a href="help.php?section=conditions" class="VertMenuItems">{$lng.lbl_terms_n_conditions}</a><br />

{include file="pages_menu.tpl"}

{/capture}

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_help.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_help menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu link_href="help.php"}

Add before the {include file="pages_menu.tpl"} :
<a href="yourFile.php" class="VertMenuItems">Text that will show up in the help box</a><br />

Hi Tal,

I've put the code in:

Code:

<a href="faq.php" class="VertMenuItems">{$lng.lbl_faq}</a><br />

But it isn't working. Any ideas?

Cheers.

Re: Add link to help box/section?

I don't use 4.3 and I also don't use your template so it might be a bit different.
You should instead just copy one of the links from one of the things already in there and modify that.

If it turns out to be the same as what mine looks like (included the class) then your issue might be due language variable.

Hi Tal,

I also tried:

Code:

<a href="faq.php" class="VertMenuItems">FAQ</a><br />

but that didn't work either.

The code in help.tpl is exactly as you posted on your first post so I'm unsure as to why it's not showing up.

I'll ask the person that made the Skin for me. If they don't know, I'll have to ask Qualiteam, I guess. Thanks for your help though, it is much appreciated. :)

Have you cleared your cache for your store and yourself?

www.yourstore.com/xcartDir/cleanup.php <-- Cleans cache of store templates which is required for template changes
No idea which browser you use mainly, but you can usually just do ctrl+f5 on the page to clear cache for that site.

In 4.3 the template is skin1/customer/help/menu.tpl

Hi Tal,

Cleared the cache and cleared my Firefox cache. No change. :(
