The Sidebar theme has a left navigation bar on the pages and product more information pages. On the pages the links on the left are comprised of the links assigned to each page. On the product more information pages there is a "back" link found in the left navigation. If you would like to have the same navigation on both your pages and your product more information pages you can hard code the navigation into the templates. You would do this by following the steps outlined below.
1. Copy the Sidebar theme files. Below are two files that you would need to copy in your store.
2. Locate the table with class="pagelink". Within both of these templates files locate the table named “pagelink”. The “pagelink” table will begin similar to the code below:
3. Add your links above the [-- IF GiftCert --] tag. You now want to add your own links into both of these templates above the [-- IF GiftCert --] tag using the format below. Replace the URL with the link to the page you are adding, and change "Page Name" to the link name you would like to use for each link.
<tr><td class="pagelink"><a class="pagelink" href="http://domain.com/filename.html">Page Name</a></td></tr>
Your final code should look similar to:
4. Copy YOUR copy and name it the EXACT same as the original. Once you have finished making modifications, you can copy your copied templates and give them the exact same name as the originals. If you do this, your new templates will override the original templates. Once your file names override the originals, you can use the Sidebar theme and it will read your new files and display your new links.
5. Publish. To publish your store with the modified files and new links you can go to Utilities > Publish > Regenerate.
