Ok Julz...

That has to be changed in your Zen Cart files, either via FTP or your Cpanel File Manager.
The file you need is public_html/includes/languages/YOUR TEMPLATE/english.php

The place to change it is located on or about line 147 and it will look like this:

// information box text in sideboxes/more_information.php - were TUTORIAL_
  define('BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION', '');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2', 'Page 2');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3', 'Page 3');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4', 'Page 4');

Make sure you leave the ' marks and only change the text in between. (I highlighted it in red what to change)

Now you will also have to go to public_html/includes/languages/english/page_2.php

To change this:

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Page 2');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Page 2');

As far as adding extra pages...there is a mod that will do that.  You can find it here: About Us Page Mod

Personally, I find it much easier to just use the EZ Pages.

It was late when I wrote that and may not have been clear.  Sorry.

You can 'turn off' your 'More Information' box and not display the Page 2, Page 3, Page 4 links.  Then you can use the EZ Pages instead of those 3 pages. 

Did that make sense?  I need more coffee.

Ok, I changed the name of the pg 2, 3,4 last night (umm, early this morning - with help of course) and I also renamed one to another. My question is that I need another space/title link. How can I easily add one? And just where do I find the links for the "newsletter"?   

[Baysbeauty]

I'm not sure how to do a page four, however you can go into your ez pages and make as many pages as you want. 

Look at my site, www.baysbeauty.com and you will see on the right side "Important Links".  Those are easy pages and you can add as many as you want.

Although I do not have this cart, if you wanted to add additional pages, couldn't you just copy and paste the line before it and add it to the next line with the new name?  I have done something like that before on my cart.

I wish it was that easy in Zen Alana!
It involves more than just one file from what I've seen.

In Zen, the only way I know of to add addtional pages to the More Information Box (with the other 3) is to install the About Us mod I mentioned in my previous post.

That's why I said that for me it was easier to just use the EZ Pages like Bays is talking about.

oh my.  I have much to learn about those Zen carts.   For my custom pages, I do that in my admin and it just says add another custom page, so I can add as many and title them to what ever very easily.  I still edit in my text editor and then paste into my add custom pages in admin.

If I want to make changes to my default page, I just pull that file from my FTP, edit and upload it.  I have never had to do something for one file and change it in another file to get it to work.  I am usually dealing with one file for the whole process.  The main thing for me is to know which file I am editing.  Not all are created equal.  LOL..

It is important to know what file your working with.

[The Tavern Wench]

Our Zen 'EZ Pages' are set up that way.  We do everything thru the admin.  I figure eventually they may do away with the 'more information' sidebox and those pages 2,3,4 or fix them where you can edit the titles from the Admin.

Right now they are set up where you can edit the page itself inside the admin, but to change the titles you have to go into "THE files"  (I call them "The Files that must not be touched, unless you know what you're doing") 

The EZ Pages on the other hand, you can do everything within the Admin.

They are planning a complete overhaul of their Admin section but I don't expect that to be released until sometime next year.

What I do when I'm changing info in my Core is to always make a copy of it first and place in notepad before I make the changes then if something is wrong I always have a backup to see what I have done wrong if I made a mistake.

Hey everyone! WE HAVE SNOW.  Yep I am watching our first snow here in Wisconsin.

[Baysbeauty]

I love snow!

Now do you know how to add new pages through your admin of your cart?  Speaking of your ez pages that is?  If not I can help you as it is really easy.

[2boysandtoys]

Snow?  Oh my....I'm not ready for that quite yet....
