Hi,
can anyone help me. I've tried and tried desperately to get the about us page to work as per:
************************************************** **********
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%"}
************************************************** *********
I've edited the code in home.tpl and home_main.tpl as specified, and i have created a file "about_us.tpl" in folder skin1/main/about_us.tpl.
All i'm getting is:
"Parse error: parse error in /home/folder/public_html/V2/Cart/templates_c/N17/N1714041693/0.php on line 12"
on the home page and the about us link refuses to work.
What's wrong with it? Is there a typo error in the information given in the FAQ?
I can't seem to be able to change the file CHMOD settings through CuteFTP either from 666 to 777. Does anyone else find this?
I hope someone can help me,
many thanks in advance,
Mark ("Frustrated Carter!!!
