This tutorial will show you how to edit header user menu in osCommerce 2.3 templates. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The header user menu is created using the unordered list layout. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\n$data = '<ul class="user_menu">'.\r\n\t'<li class="'.$button_act2.'"><a href="' .$acc_link. '">'.tep_draw_button_header_top().'<span>'.$acc_title.'<\/span>'.tep_draw_button_header_bottom().'<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n \r\n\t'<li class="'.$button_act1.'"><a href="'.$login_link.'">'.tep_draw_button_header_top().'<span>'.$login_title.'<\/span>'.tep_draw_button_header_bottom().'<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n '<\/ul>';\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\nEach menu button is a list item:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t'<li class="'.$button_act1.'"><a href="'.$login_link.'">'.tep_draw_button_header_top().'<span>'.$login_title.'<\/span>'.tep_draw_button_header_bottom().'<\/a><\/li>'.\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Edit button titles<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
As you can see the menu item titles are created using the PHP variables like $acc_title<\/strong> and $login_title. <\/strong> Investigating the includes\\modules\\boxes\\hm_user_menu.php <\/strong>file you can find the variable values:\r\n\r\n
\r\n $acc_link = tep_href_link('account.php');\r\n$acc_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_MY_ACCOUNT;<\/strong>\r\n} else{ \r\n$acc_link = tep_href_link('create_account.php');\r\n$acc_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_CREATE_ACCOUNT;<\/strong>\r\n} \r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n$login_link = tep_href_link('logoff.php');\r\n$login_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGOFF;<\/strong>\r\n} else{ \r\n$login_link = tep_href_link('login.php');\r\n$login_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGIN;<\/strong>\r\n} \r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\nTo change the button titles you need to edit the language variables MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_MY_ACCOUNT<\/strong>, MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_CREATE_ACCOUNT<\/strong> etc.<\/p> \r\n\r\n
You can modify them in the includes\\languages\\english\\modules\\boxes\\hm_user_menu.php<\/strong> file<\/p>\r\n\r\n
define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_TITLE', 'User Menu in Header');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_DESCRIPTION', 'Show User Menu page links in Header');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE', 'User Menu');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log in');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log off');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create an Account');\r\n define('MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_SHIPPING', 'Shipping & Returns');\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\nYou can modify the variable values or define your own variables. <\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Edit button links<\/h3>\r\n
As you can see the menu item links are created using the PHP variables like$acc_link<\/strong> and $login_link. <\/strong> The same way as for the button titles the variable values could be found in includes\\modules\\boxes\\hm_user_menu.php <\/strong>file: <\/p>\r\n
\r\n $acc_link = tep_href_link('account.php');<\/strong>\r\n$acc_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_MY_ACCOUNT;\r\n} else{ \r\n$acc_link = tep_href_link('create_account.php');<\/strong>\r\n$acc_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_CREATE_ACCOUNT;\r\n} \r\n<\/pre>\r\n$login_link = tep_href_link('logoff.php');<\/strong>\r\n$login_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGOFF;\r\n} else{ \r\n$login_link = tep_href_link('login.php');<\/strong>\r\n$login_title= MODULE_BOXES_USER_MENU_BOX_TITLE_LOGIN;\r\n} \r\n\r\nYou can also see the page filenames the buttons are linked to. <\/pre>\r\n\r\n
