how do i add a page to information footer?

Hi all,

Id like to add another page to the information footer on my template, i want one called 'links' to simpley add other peoples website links on as a page of interest relating to my business.

I was going to simply copy the terms & conditions tab and rename it to 'links' but im not sure where in the root i should take the info from to create the extra page.

hope that makes sence. i know basics of the root files so if you can show me what files and what to add that will be great.

Also like to appologise if this is already in the forum somewhere but i couldnt see it.

thanks

Hi

To add another page to the footer simply go to "Catalog/information" in your admin the click insert and complete the details for your new page.

in catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/footer.tpl
add this:
<li><a target="_blank" href="www.other peoples website.com"><?php echo "other peoples website"; ?></li>

I wanted add a_new_page just under Extra in footer. Any one can help me what code should I put inside

\catalog\controller\information\a_new_page.php?

the new page is simple as privacy policy page.

You should create the new page in your admin Catalog - Information

Give it a sort order of -1 to stop it appearing in the Information column

Make a note of it's information_id number which you should see in your browsers status bar when hovering over the edit link next to it in the list of information pages.

edit catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/footer.tpl

add a new line with the following code wherever you wish it to appear
edit 999 for the information_id mention above
edit THE NAME OF THE PAGE for the name of the page

<li><a href="<?php echo $this->url->link('information/information', 'information_id=999'); ?>">THE NAME OF THE PAGE</a></li>

edit 999 for the information_id mention above
edit THE NAME OF THE PAGE for the name of the page

This worked like a charm. thanks

I have worked in 1.5.1.3
but not work in 1.5.2. New Page always show.

For some reason the hiding of pages with a sort order of -1 has been removed in OC 1.5.x

To get it back you will need to mod it See -> http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=5341

Pretty cool, but it is then removed from the Site Map, which is not good.

Any other ideas or mod out there for a simple "exclude" command?

I think Opencart should make Adding and Delete these pages in the footer part of Opencart and very easy.

Simple Options as Add page with a sort order
And
Delete Page.
