To add this page to your system,

1. BACKUP ALL FILES AND YOUR DATABASE
2. Run the install_about_us.sql in admin. Check that a new option of "Define Abo
ut Us Status" is now shown in Admin->Configuration->Define Page Status
3. Rename the "MYTEMPLATE" folders to be the same name as your main template, an
d install the following files to the same file structure as your shop:
/includes/extra_datafiles/about_us_filenames.php
/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/about_us.php
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_about_us.php (this adds t
he page to the drop down box in Define Pages Editor)
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/MYTEMPLATE/define_about_us.php
/includes/languages/english/about_us.php
/includes/modules/pages/about_us/header_php.php
/includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php ****MERGE WITH EXISTING FILE
/includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_about_us_default.php
/includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_site_map_default.php
4. Upload all the files to your server, following the same folder structure as f
ound in this ZIP.
5. The link to the about_us page has already been added to the information sideb
ox or your can add it to another location as desired.
The URL for it is either:
- zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US)
or
- http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=about_us
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO ADD IT TO THE "information" SIDEBOX:
a. edit /includes/modules/sideboxes/MYTEMPLATE/information.php
b. add this line, perhaps right above the "Shipping" link (FILENAME_SHIPPING)
:
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US) . '">' . BO
X_INFORMATION_ABOUT_US . '</a>';
c. Upload these changes to your server, and the link will appear in your "inf
ormation" sidebox.

TO USE THIS PACKAGE FOR OTHER PAGES

===================================
It's easy to use this package as a model for other customizable pages.
Let's say you wanted to create another page called "mypage":
- simply rename "about_us" in every filename or folder in this package to "mypag
e"
- edit the extra_datafiles/mypage_filenames.php and change the define's by chang
ing "ABOUT_US" and "about_us" to "MYPAGE" and "mypage" respectively.
- edit modules/pages/ABOUT_US/header_php.php and change the "ABOUT_US" reference
 to "MYPAGE"
- edit any of the language files as desired (some heading defines will need chan
ges)
Upload to your server. To add links to a sidebox, see step #4 above.
