zzZDerekZzz Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Hi, I recently figured out how to edit the text shown on my maintenance mode page. I added some text that asks my potential customer to visit my ebay store, while my site is down. After editing the maintenance.tpl.php file, via adding the web address to my Ebay store. The web address does show up on my maintenance page, but it’s not a live link that will redirect them to my Ebay store when clicked upon. So they have to cut and paste, in order to get to my Ebay Store.How would I make this a live link? I’m no programmer, so please do keep any help simple. The domain that holds my web site provides me with a utf-8 editor, that I’ve been using to edit my maintenance.tpl.php file. Below I'm showing the line that I edited on my maintenance mode page, although this text is showing a fictitious Ebay Store web address. <?php echo smartyTranslate(array('s'=>'http://www.stores.ebay.com/my-ebaystore'),$_smarty_tpl);?>ThanksDerek Below shows the location of the maintenance mode page file. /public_html /cache /smarty /compile /de /e2 /35 /maintenance.tpl.php Edited February 25, 2016 by zzZDerekZzz (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonas Invertus Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Code for link is: <a href="your_link">link_title</a> eg. <a href="http://www.prestashop.com">PrestaShop</a> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 and also you are changing the wrong file. what you are changing is the compiled cached php file, which can be erased in the future if the cache is ever removed or recreated. what you need to change is the template file, which would be located in the following directory /themes/<theme_name>/maintenance.tpl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzZDerekZzz Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Hi Simonas & Bellini13, Thanks for the reply and help on this.Bellini13, I did try editing that file before, but it had no effect on what was being displayed on my Maintenance page.That file you said to edit was located at/home /Web folder name /public_html /themes /default-bootstrap/maintenance.tpl Since I don't know how to Down Load and keep a copy of my Presta Shop site on my PC, I've been logging directly into my web site’s server’s site, going through their cPanel to find and edit those (maintenance.tpl & maintenance.tpl.php) files. Furthermore, I did a search of all the files located on there and found only those 2 files (maintenance.tpl & maintenance.tpl.php).Below is a full copy of that maintenance.tpl file, located at /public_html/themes/default-bootstrap/maintenance.tpl I tried editing the {l s='http://www.stores.ebay.com/my-ebaystore'}. with a faults ebay address and that info does not show up on my maintenance page, when I set my Presta Shop to "Maintenance mode"{** 2007-2015 PrestaShop** NOTICE OF LICENSE** This source file is subject to the Academic Free License (AFL 3.0)* that is bundled with this package in the file LICENSE.txt.* It is also available through the world-wide-web at this URL:* http://opensource.org/licenses/afl-3.0.php* If you did not receive a copy of the license and are unable to* obtain it through the world-wide-web, please send an email* to [email protected] so we can send you a copy immediately.** DISCLAIMER** Do not edit or add to this file if you wish to upgrade PrestaShop to newer* versions in the future.

Simonas Invertus Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 BackOffice is the place where you login to change settings of your shop it might be something like yourshop.com/admin but usually for security reasons it is recommended 'admin' part to rename to something else. If you go to Advanced Parameters->Performance there is a button named Clear cache (and other settings related to the cache) if you click that button all the files from cache directory will be deleted, so you should not edit them. Also, after every change made to the website you should clear your cache. And the last thing, I did not say that you need to delete all the rest things from the file, I just wanted to say that instead of placing just a link that is not clickable you should place it in proper HTML. I hope it clears somethings for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
