How to add a new (dynamic) page in zen cart?

**seifer987** · 9 Nov 2008, 06:12 PM

I want to make an eCommerce site with zen cart that has a dynamic contents (news, gallery, blogs) like this site (check the gallery, course, blogs link):
http://c1.shownearby.com/fg/

So, I think I can do that by adding a new page. I'm searching and
I found out that I can add a new page with EZ Page feature, but unfortunately it only can add a html content (static) page, not php (I need php page to generate the dynamic contents).

Then I explore a little the structure of zen-cart and I found out that it seems I can add a new page in this folder:
"ROOT_FOLDER\includes\modules\pages".

But that folder doesn't have "classic" folder. Is it okay to modify that folder?

If it's not, is there another way to add new dynamic page?

Thanks for the help.

I hope it can be implemented as built-in feature in the next version of ZC.

eval is a very dangerous (and slow) function. It should be avoided as much as possible. This is one of the reasons it is not built-in.

In your situation, using a Define Page is better than EazyPage. There is a module that helps you to create a new one very fast, it is called Define Page Generator. Search for it in download area.

Ok, thanks for the recommendation. That also answer my question that can I add a new page in folder 'modules\pages' since define page generator will generate files in that folder.
