Hello! This video tutorial shows how to edit header links in your OsCommerce template.<\/p>\r\n\r\nosCommerce. How to edit header links<\/a>\r\n\r\n

The tutorial assumes you are connected to your FTP or hosting control panel File Manager.<\/p>\r\n

Now, let’s learn how to edit header links in your store.<\/p>\r\n

1. Locate the cm_menu_header.php<\/strong> file in \/includes\/modules\/boxes\/<\/strong> directory of your OsCommerce installation. Find the following block of code:\r\n

'<div class="menu">' . \r\n'  <ul>' .\r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act1.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '"><i class="icon-home"><\/i>'. tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_DEFAULT . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>' .\r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act2.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW) . '"><i class="icon-bullhorn"><\/i>' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>' .\r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act5.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) . '">' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_FEATURED . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act11.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_TOPSELLERS_PRODUCTS) . '">' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_BESTSELLERS . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>' . \r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act3.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS) . '"><i class="icon-certificate"><\/i>' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_SPECIALS . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>' .\r\n'    '.\r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act4.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS) . '"><i class="icon-edit"><\/i>' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_REVIEWS . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n'    <li class="'.$button_act6.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '"><i class="icon-map-marker"><\/i>' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_CONTACT_US . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n'<li class="'.$button_act12.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CUSTOM_PAGE) . '">' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . CUSTOM_PAGE_MENU_TITLE . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n\/\/\t'\t\t <li class="'.$button_act7.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '">'.tep_draw_button_header_top().'<span>'.MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_ADVANCED_SEARCH.'<\/span>'.tep_draw_button_header_bottom().'<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n\/\/'\t\t <li class="'.$button_act8.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">'.tep_draw_button_header_top().'<span>'.MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_SHIPPING.'<\/span>'.tep_draw_button_header_bottom().'<\/a><\/li>'. ''\r\n'  <\/ul>' .\r\n'<\/div>'.\t\t\t\t\r\n<\/pre>\t\t\t\r\n
Each menu button is a list item:<\/p>\r\n
 '    <li class="'.$button_act6.'"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '"><i class="icon-map-marker"><\/i>' . tep_draw_menu_top() . '' . MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_CONTACT_US . '' . tep_draw_menu_bottom() . '<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n<\/pre>\t\r\n
2. So, let’s learn how  to edit menu buttons titles.<\/p>\r\n
Open the \/includes\/languages\/english\/modules\/boxes\/<\/strong> directory on your server. The menu titles are displayed as box title variables, so there are separate files in this directory that correspond to each variable, as follows:<\/p>\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW \u2013 bm_whats_new.php file;<\/p>\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_FEATURED \u2013 bm_featured.php file;<\/p>\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_BESTSELLERS \u2013 bm_best_sellers.php file;<\/p>\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_SPECIALS \u2013 bm_specials.php file;<\/p>\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_MANUFACTURERS \u2013 bm_manufacturers.php file.\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_REVIEWS \u2013 bm_reviews.php file.\r\n
MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_CONTACT_US \u2013 cm_contact.php file.\r\n
You may edit  variable values or define your own variables for new menu buttons in the cm_menu_header.php<\/strong> file under \/includes\/languages\/english\/modules\/boxes\/<\/strong> directory:<\/p>\r\n
\r\n  <?php\r\n  \/*\r\n  $Id$\r\n osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions\r\n  http:\/\/www.oscommerce.com\r\n Copyright (c) 2010 osCommerce\r\n Released under the GNU General Public License\r\n  *\/\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_TITLE', '<b class="add-by-seaman">Main Menu in Header<\/b>');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_DESCRIPTION', 'Show Main Menu page links in Header');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_TITLE', 'Main Menu');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_DEFAULT', 'Home');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_PRODUCTS_NEW', 'What\\'s New?');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_SPECIALS', 'Specials');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_REVIEWS', 'Reviews');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_CONTACT_US', 'Contacts');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_ADVANCED_SEARCH', 'Advanced Search'); \r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log in');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log off');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create an Account');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_SHIPPING', 'Shipping & Returns');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_FEATURED', 'Featured');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_ADVANCED_SEARCH', 'Advanced Search');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_MANUFACTURERS', 'Brands');\r\n  define('MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_BESTSELLERS', 'Top sellers'); \r\n  \r\n  ?>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
Just edit desired button title by changing the text inside ‘ ‘<\/strong> quotes, e.g. ‘Specials’<\/strong> . You may also add your own button variable using the same syntax, e.g.:<\/p>\r\n
define(‘MODULE_BOXES_MAIN_MENU_BOX_NEW_BUTTON’, ‘New Button’);<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
3. Now, let’s learn how to edit menu buttons links.<\/p>\r\n
In order to edit menu link, e.g. Contact Us<\/strong> menu button link, change the following variable in your cm_menu.php<\/strong> file:<\/p>\r\n
‘ . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . ‘<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
Link variables values may be found in the filenames.php file <\/strong>under \/includes\/<\/strong> folder:<\/p>\r\n
define('FILENAME_CONTACT_US', 'contact_us.php');<\/strong><\/pre>\r\n
As you can see, the button is linked to contact_us.php<\/strong> file. You may either create your own page using this tutorial<\/strong><\/a> or link the button to any desired URL by replacing ‘ . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . ‘<\/strong> with your own URL.<\/p>\r\n
This is the end of the tutorial, you have learnt how to edit header links in OsCommerce templates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
