I have just added an "about us" page. It all seems to work good, but now I get this error at the top of the new "about us" page.

F
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/flutter/public_html/catalog1/whoarewe.php:1) in /home/flutter/public_html/catalog1/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 98



Can someone help me out.

Guys, have you tried my about us page contrib I added here last year?

About Us Page Creator 1.0.0 - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized

Just upload the files to freshly installed oscmax 2.0 installation. It should work. If not, post any issues here.

Problem Fixed...
I had accidently added the letter F before the <?php start code at the top of the catalog/mynewpage.php. Thats all it was folks...

Terry.

Hi Terry,

I didnt get a chance to check it for you,

glad you got it sorted,

Regards,

Kieran

I followed the instructions and all I would get upon trying to view the new page was a completely blank page.

I used the contrib by allwebnow mentioned above and it worked like a dream.

Thank Thank Thank You

I was wondering when someone was going to use it. hehe.

[kerryanne]

Thanks, your a life saver.

i spent days going over and over and over adding new pages.

I currently have 2 shopping carts I am developing for clients and both need lots of additional page that they can edit themselves.

So glad I found OSMax, sure beats plain OS and adding all the contribs yourself hehe
