Hi, I'm having problems with making a new page... I made a new Box with a Link. I used the shipping.php for the new page everything is fine except I can't change the content of it ... If however i change the content in admin of Shipping_content.php. My new page and the Shipping page has the same content. Been searching but can't find anything regarding this please help ! thank you much

That is because it calls a varaiable that is the shipping contents

$content = CONTENT_SHIPPING;

You could put
$content = 'Put your HTML stuff here - just remember to escape your plural "s" like "/'s" ';

or the proper way
- add a define in filenames.php (copy and change the shipping ones)
define('CONTENT_SHIPPING', 'shipping');
define('FILENAME_SHIPPING', CONTENT_SHIPPING . '.php');
change all 'shipping' to 'yournewboxname'
- copy the shipping.php and shipping_contents.php and shipping.tpl.php - change 'shipping' in to 'yournewboxname' in both the catalog and in the language directories
- in one of the above files change '$content = CONTENT_SHIPPING;' to '$content = CONTENT_YOURNEWBOXNAME;

I think that is MOST of it but I may have missed a bit of info - but would be close to final....Don't have 2 or so hours to write it all up and check it.

Following the above "add static pages" instructions will NOT work with OSMax2. All it will do is create another shipping.php with your "testpage".php name (with the old shipping content).

Even after properly editing the page details and following instructions it will still call the old content of the shipping file. There is no instruction on how to deal with the $content_template = TEMPLATENAME_SHIPPING; file.

If changed above to TEMPLATENAME_TESTING; this is result of following current instructions:
Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxx/public_html/catalog/templates/HTML/main_page.tpl.php(25) : eval()'d code on line 1

Even after editing copy shipping.tpl.php to testing.tpl.php, and changing references in it, it still does not work...

Perhaps someone may want to edit that instruction set or post it here how to change that content, step by step...

I have tried this as well with no luck, does anyone know how to do this using the newest version? It is not as easy to get answers on this messageboard as it is on the Oscommerce forums? If I am looking in the wrong place, please forgive. Thank you everyone. Alex.
