How can I add page to my links that isn't shopsite generated

Postby ontheline » Tue Sep 09, 2008 4:26 pm

I am using the Lefty Template and want a link for a non-shopsite generated page to appear with the other shopsite generated page links. I know the HTML to do it, but I can't find a way to edit it in the store manager. Can I do it somehow? I have just the basic 5 page store. Thanks.

The lefty theme can not be edited like the custom templates can because it it coded in C and not the ShopSite custom template language. So there is no way to manually add the link to the template.

Also since you have a Starter level store you would not have the ability to edit the template anyway.

So your only option (and it would be a slim one because you probably don't have access to your store's output directory) would be to edit the pages that are generated by ShopSite and place the html for the link in the actual html for the page. Note that doing this would require you to edit the pages each time that you generated your ShopSite pages.

The only other option would be to put the link in the store's page header or footer but that wouldn't put it in the left column.

Thank you for the answer. I thought that might be the case. I don't seem to have access to files with the html . Guess it'll be a link in the text area.
