I'm trying to create a new area, just like the help zone, but called resources

I have copied the help files, renamed and edited, but they don't work. I think the problem is in the php files:

help.php

#
# $Id: help.php,v 1.17.2.1 2004/02/05 12:25:45 mclap Exp $
#

require "./auth.php";
require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";

require $xcart_dir."/include/help.php";

$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl");

I have copied this and renamed it resources.php. I changed .include/help.php to include/resources.php, then copied and renamed the help.php file in the include folder.

I took out all of the code that I thought was unnecessary for the resources section so my include/resources.php now looks like this:

#
# $Id: include_resources.php,v Amy Heavey 29/10/04 Exp $
#



$smarty->assign("main","resources");
$smarty->assign("resources_section",$section);

?>

OK, the main variable affects the title of the page in home.tpl, but where does the help_section variable go? (I have changed help_section to resources_section above.)

I apologise if this doesn't make sense, I'm just at a loss about how to do this.

Any advice gratefully received,

Thanks

Hi Amy,

You'll want to do a check on the $main variable in skin1/customer/home_main.tpl

{elseif $main eq "resources"}
{include file="path_to/resources.tpl"}
{/if}

I'm not sure how your resources.php file looks now, but make sure you require auth.php, otherwise you may run into some errors if some requirements aren't being included.
