I am trying to do this, but there is no existing directory, as above. Was this post related to the old version of X-cart?

I'm running Version 3.4.10

Which directory are you referring to?

[p4wel]

ok, i figured out the category

but i don't know where to paste the hyperlink (as mentioned below)?
which template and where? I'm lost!

Then you can create a hyperlink as such
Code:
http://www.yoursite.com/yourlink/customer/home.php?mode=extra

[adpboss]

Whichever template you want the hyperlink to show up in.

[p4wel]

ok, i want the link:
How to fit teeth

to appear in categories section, below all product categories (template below). where should I put it? any ideas?

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.18 2003/02/25 08:58:46 olga Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
<font class=CategoriesList>{ $categories[cat_num].category_name|escape }

{/section}
{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<font class=CategoriesList>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category_name|escape }</font>

{/section}
{/if}


{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

there you go

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.18 2003/02/25 08:58:46 olga Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
<font class=CategoriesList>{ $categories[cat_num].category_name|escape }

{/section}
{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<font class=CategoriesList>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category_name|escape }</font>

{/section}
{/if}


{$pages_menu[pg].title}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

shan, that worked a treat! thank you very much. i have tried to paste it just about everywhere, but not there

The 'How to fit teeth' page is an embeded static page, which also appears under Help menu, as you will see: http://www.billybobteeth-spain.com/store/customer/home.php

is there any way of removing this page from Help menu?

I have followed John's direction on this and even tried a few variables and still cannot get it to work.

I created a file "mallory.tpl" and tried it in both a sub directory of "skin1/customer/main/" and tried "skin1/customer/main/mallory". Form that I tried both of these versions of code in skin1/customer/home_main.tpl:

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

and

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

I also built the page "mallory.tpl" with this as the code:

{ include file="location.tpl" last_location="mallory"} 
{capture name=dialog} 
{/capture}

test data for Mallory main page

{ include file="dialog.tpl" title="mallory" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"} 

When I try the link below I get NO change and just the default store home page: http://216.82.68.68/shop/customer/home.php?mode=mallory

I would prefer to use sub directories (one for each manufacturer) with their specific pages within that directory. What am I missing?

in help.tpl remove this

{$lng.lbl_terms_n_conditions}

{include file="pages_menu.tpl"}

[p4wel]

thank you shan, i'll try this.

the website will be produced with at least 2 versions, english and spanish.
does this method of including links in categories menu work for multiple languages?
