osCommerce. How to create custom page with a link in footer/header menu (in multilingual website)

This tutorial will show you how to create new page(s) in multilingual osCommerce site.

1. Let’s take a Shipping page as a template for our new page. Open osCommerce installation directory and locate shipping.php file.

2. Copy the file and rename it. For example, to newpage.php.

3. Open this file and change:

     require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_SHIPPING);
     $breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING));

   To:

     require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_NEWPAGE);
     $breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWPAGE));

4. Make sure that this file includes the following:

   <?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?> 

   TEXT_INFORMATION will include your page content defined in each language that you are using on your site:

   

5. Open /includes folder and edit filenames.php file. Add new line and define new file name as follows:

   define('FILENAME_NEWPAGE', 'newpage.php');

   

6. Open includes/languages/english directory. Locate shipping.php file, copy it and rename to newpage.php.

7. Open newpage.php file and change its content:

     define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'New Page');
     define('HEADING_TITLE', 'New Page');
     define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'This will be our new page for English language.');

8. Now we can add a new page and content for other languages that are available on your site.

9. Open /includes/languages/your_language directory, for example /includes/languages/german.

10. Locate shipping.php file, copy it and rename to newpage.php.

11. Open newpage.php file and change its content:

      define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Neue Seite');
      define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Neue Seite');
      define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'This will be our new page for German language');

    

12. Now, let’s add new footer menu for our New Page as well.

13. The process is basically the same. Open includes/modules/boxes/cm_menu_footer.php:

    

14. Duplicate existing item and specify Filename and Menu for Footer:

    

15. Add a new item to the list.

16. Open includes/languages/english/modules/boxes/cm_menu_footer.php file:

    

17. Define item for Footer Menu:

    

Save your changes. Refresh your site.
