===== Adding New Dynamic Content Pages =====

I haven't got round to fully testing this yet but I believe it works! Quite alot of files require modifying, **remember to backup your files first!!**

This guide has been made for use with osCMax V2.0 or higher. Credit to author mhouchin.

  * This is a worked example for creating **about.php**

----

==== 1. Creating the pages for the front end ====

<box green 90%>
The following files changes need to be made in the **catalog** folders.
</box>

1.1 **Copy** shipping.php and rename to about.php
    * Within this file change all references of _SHIPPING to _ABOUT
1.2 **Open** /includes/filenames.php
    * Add the following definitions:

<file php>
  define('CONTENT_ABOUT', 'about');
  define('CONTENT_ABOUT_CONTENT', 'about_content');
  define('FILENAME_ABOUT', CONTENT_ABOUT . '.php');
  define('FILENAME_ABOUT_CONTENT', CONTENT_ABOUT_CONTENT . '.php');
</file>

1.3 **Copy** includes/languages/english/shipping.php and rename to about.php
    * Within this file change all the relevant information as applicable.

1.4 **Copy** includes/languages/english/shipping_content.php and rename to about_content.php
    * Within this file change all the relevant information as applicable.

1.5 **Copy** templates/[templatename]/content/shipping.tpl.php and rename to about.tpl.php (you may need to copy this file from the fallback template first)
   * Within this file change:
<file php>
     <?php include(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_SHIPPING_CONTENT); ?> 
</file>
and change it to:
<file php>
     <?php include(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_ABOUT_CONTENT); ?>
</file>

1.6 **Open** includes/configure_bts.php
   * Add the following definition: (about line 20)

<file php>
     define('TEMPLATENAME_ABOUT', 'about.tpl.php');
</file>

1.7 **Insert** this wherever you want to link to the page put:

<file php>
     <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT) ?>">ABOUT US</a>
</file>

----

==== 2. Creating the pages in admin section ====

<box green 90%>
The following files changes need to be made in the **admin** folders.
</box>

2.1 **Open** /admin/index.php

Find: 

<file php>
array('title' => BOX_CATALOG_DEFINE_SHIPPING, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFINE_SHIPPING, 'selected_box=catalog')),
</file>

  * And **duplicate** it for each page you want to add, modifying SHIPPING to ABOUT

 \\ 

2.2 **Open** /admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php

Find: 

<file php>
tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_DEFINE_SHIPPING, BOX_CATALOG_DEFINE_SHIPPING) .
</file>

  * And **duplicate** it for each page you want to add, modifying SHIPPING to ABOUT

 \\ 

2.3 **Copy** admin/define_shipping.php and **rename** to define_about.php
  * Change all references of SHIPPING to ABOUT (13 in total)

 \\ 

2.4 **Open** admin/includes/languages/english.php
  * Add the following definition:

<file php>
  define('BOX_CATALOG_DEFINE_ABOUT', 'About Page');
</file>

 \\ 

2.5 **Open** admin/includes/filenames.php
  * Add the following definition: (around line 82)

<file php>
  define('FILENAME_DEFINE_ABOUT','define_about.php');
  define('FILENAME_DEFINE_ABOUT_CONTENT', 'about_content.php');
</file>

 \\

==== 3. Enable access to the file ====

Add access to define_about.php in the administrator menu by enabling file access

  * Open your **admin** panel
  * Click on the **Administrator** Menu box
  * Click **File Access** in Menu box
  * Select the **Catalog** row in the central box
  * Click **Store Files** in right hand column
