When you change a template on your osCommerce or CRE Loaded
site, such as for the Hosted Account Solution, some links might appear "broken".
When you change a template you are changing the look and
style, but some templates use a different order for hard coded links to
information pages, such as "Privacy", "Shipping & Returns", etc. These changes are easily corrected.
Information Pages
& Links
From the front of your site, when you see a link page from
the top menu, bottom menu or side links, many take you to an "ID" or
Information Page. Identify the
Information Page:
1) Click on the link
from the front of your store. Note the
name of the link, and look in the address bar.
In the address bar you should see "Info_ID=" and a
number. For example, when you click a
link like, "Shipping & Returns" you might see: http://YourStoreName.com/information.php?info_id=6&osCsid=7330bb8ad6c7286296868c0e257cb94e.
2) Notice the Info_ID=6
Edit the Information
Page:
3) Log into your
Admin
4) Go to the menu
Info System and click Info Manager. This
will show you your Information pages.
5) Look at the ID
column. This is the page that the links from your store will connect to when
selected. If you change the templates
these numbers might be different. You
can edit these (name, content, etc) from the "pencil & paper icon" on the
right of the main menu.
Adding Information
Pages:
6) If you have 4 Info
Pages, but one of your links is "info_id=6", then you need to create two new
Info Pages. You can leave Info Page 5
blank and click the "unpublish option". This can be done by selecting the red circle
on the Info Manager menu. The next page
created will have an ID of 6. This means
the page content will be the page that the link form the front of the store
will take the user to when it is selected.
To create a new page you only need to select the "New" button at the
bottom of the menu.
In short, click on the information links. The number after the Info_ID= will take the
user to that page. You can add, edit,
publish, unpublish, etc these pages from the Admin Info System & Info
Manager in your Admin. Just match the
content of the ID for that page to the link and you are done. |
