Stupid Question about Layout Boxes and EZ-Pages

**Solomoriah** · 14 Sep 2010, 03:17 PM

I've created a page for a client using the EZ-Pages feature, and I've enabled display of the EZ-Pages in the Layout Boxes Controller, but nothing appears on the site. Presently, EZ-Pages is sorted to the top of the list, but I get nothing.

Other items in the Layout Boxes Controller which are enabled do appear just fine.

Running Zen Cart 1.3.9b on a Linux server.

Does the EZ page have a title ?

Is the sidebox option in the EZ page set to yes, and is there a sort order set for that option ?

All three are necessary for the page to appear.

Actually you don't always need to have the sidebox set to Yes; you just need to give it a sort order. Some ez-pages can be linked solely from other ez-page chapter TOC menus and not accessible directly from the permanent nav.

Of course, the first one of them (at least) has to appear in the permanent nav so you can get to the chapter group.

On the Column Boxes screen, sideboxes/ezpages.php has L/R On, Left Column, LR Sort Order 1, Single Column Sort Order 1, Single Column Status Off. The sideboxes/search.php page is identical, except that the sort orders are both 0, and the search box does appear on the site, so I assume it's all correct. I've tried sort order 0 as well as 1 for the ezpages line, no help either way. It just doesn't show up in the column.

On the EZ-Pages Settings screen, all the "Display Status" options are 1.

Hah. I'm a web developer, I can write HTML in my sleep, but I can't make this site show this dang box. Some web developer, eh?
