Thanks Shan, those are great instructions for adding a link for the Help area or for using a link to them somewhere else in the site.

How do you remove a link from the Help files list. Basically, I have created some static pages used as "product support" pages that do not need to show up as site support pages. I want to reference them from the product detail pages. Suggestions?

this is the bit of code that displays the extra pages in help.tpl

You should do the following:

1. Edit the "<xcart-dir>/skin1/help.tpl" template and remove the following line from there:

{include file="pages_menu.tpl"}

After that your static pages will not appear in the help section.

2. Edit the same template and insert the following line instead of the removed one:

My static page
if you need a page in the help section.

3. Edit the '<xcart-dir>/skin1/customer/categories.tpl' template and insert a line like

My static page
if you want a link in categories

there. Please substitute the "4" or "3" with actual pageid. and replace >my static page< with new page name.

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to match the text size of (laptops) the new link tha appears in categories to match the font size of the exsisting links. I tried to add this but I couldn't Match the size: (example:<font size="2">Laptops</font>
)

Look at the class that sets the text size in the categories.tpl and assign that to the new link too.

Categories list uses its own class for text size

Would you be able to tell me where it is? Thanks

<font class=CategoriesList> your link here </font>

thanks so much your awsome! One more question how about the order it appears in the list can I change it?

[shan]

not realy, as the categories loops through and these extra links are just dropped on the bottom of the template.
