Q: I want to add aditional text page to X-cart where I can place some additional info about my site, how it can be done?

A: 1. First you have to edit template customer/home.tpl

Create new menu item that will point to your page, you can put it for example after help menu section (the code between HTML comments):

{ include file="help.tpl" }

<table border=0 cellPadding=5 cellSpacing=0 width=100%>
<tr><td colspan=2 class="TableLeftElements">
About us
</td></tr>
</table>

</td>
<td width=20> </td>
<td valign=top>

Then add selector which will diplay your About Us template in the center of the cart:

{if $smarty.get.mode eq "subscribed"}
{include file="main/subscribe_confirmation.tpl"}

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "about_us"}
{include file="main/about_us.tpl"}

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "unsubscribed"}
{include file="main/unsubscribe_confirmation.tpl"}

2. Then create About Us template that will be displayed in the center, create file skin1/main/about_us.tpl and put the following lines there:

{ include file="location.tpl" last_location="About Us"}
{capture name=dialog}
Put your about us text here...
{/capture}
{ include file="dialog.tpl" title="Information about our company" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=1 00%"}

Hi thanks for that, you put

Then add selector which will diplay your About Us template in the center of the cart:

{if $smarty.get.mode eq "subscribed"}
{include file="main/subscribe_confirmation.tpl"}

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "about_us"}
{include file="main/about_us.tpl"}

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "unsubscribed"}
{include file="main/unsubscribe_confirmation.tpl"}

2. Then create About Us template that will be displayed in the center, create file skin1/main/about_us.tpl and put the following lines there:

{ include file="location.tpl" last_location="About Us"}
{capture name=dialog}
Put your about us text here...
{/capture}
{ include file="dialog.tpl" title="Information about our company" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=1 00%"}

WHERE ABOUTS DOES THIS SELECTOR BIT GO, AND ON WHAT PAGE??
