Adding External Links

[Guest]

I am an idiot so I am clueless as to how to do this.

 

 

I am trying to put a menu of external links on every page of my store to other sections of my site (my forum and blog).  How can I acheive this?

See you came right installing the new osCommerce  :thumbsup:

 

Some tips:

 

1) Your products don't line up - you need to turn on "Equal height divs" in Admin - Modules - header tags. Click the install button in the top right hand corner.

 

2) Have you found the logo and footer components yet? They are in Admin - Modules - content. Click on the install button, and then install the logo, breadcrumb, and navigation bar from there. There are further footer elements.

 

3) There is a way to create links so that you don't lose the session id. Maybe this thread will help

The format of a link is:

<a href="http://www.duwhq.com/forum/index.php">Forum</a>

<a href="http://blog.duwhq.com/">Blog</a>

store\includes\modules\content\footer\templates\links.php

 

Find

<li><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('contact_us.php'); ?>"><?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_CONTACT; ?></a></li>

And add below:

<li><a href="http://www.duwhq.com/forum/index.php">Forum</a></li>
<li><a href="http://blog.duwhq.com/">Blog</a></li>

So that you have

<div class="col-sm-<?php echo $content_width; ?>">
  <div class="footerbox information">
    <h2><?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_HEADING_TITLE; ?></h2>
    <ul class="list-unstyled">
      <li><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('shipping.php'); ?>"><?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_SHIPPING; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('privacy.php'); ?>"><?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_PRIVACY; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('conditions.php'); ?>"><?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('contact_us.php'); ?>"><?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_CONTACT; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="http://www.duwhq.com/forum/index.php">Forum</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://blog.duwhq.com/">Blog</a></li>
    </ul>  
  </div>
</div>

Save and upload to your server. Then go to Admin - modules - content and install the Information Links block module.
