How do EZ-Pages work?

[birdoasis]

Hey Verybyte,

Go to sourceforge.net and download xammp. install it and you will have an apache server on your computer to test things on. It loads php and mysql at the same time.

You may want to try easyphp, it's a bit easier to create a site in.

Now I'm trying to understand what your question is.

Are you asking how to use ez-pages? or how to add them to the TOC? because I'm pretty sure that it automaticly adds them to the sidebox.

If you want, I'll provide you with a hosting account to test things on. Just don't spam my server.

I'm having a problem here. I don't have 'EZ Pages Settings' showing under Configuration in the admin section.

Does anyone knows why this happens? I'm using ZC 1.3.7.

Thanks.

Is yours a clean install if 1.3.7 or an upgrade?
Do you have many Admin add-ons installed?
If you go into your database (e.g. using phpMy Admin) and look at the configuration_group table, what is in the entry that goes with configuration_group_id = 30?
Similarly for the configuration table, what do you have in entries 530-540?

It's an upgrade. I've meaning to ask about this for a long time, but I never had a real need for ez-pages until now.

I've upgraded from 1.3.02 to 1.3.7. The previous upgrade I believe was from 1.2.7 to 1.3.0.2

The only admin add-ons I have installed is easypopulate.

I don't have anything for configuration_group_id=30. It goes from 1 to 25 and then easypopulate has id 33.

I don't have any entries in the configuration table with id's 530-540.

Ok, I'm just having trouble with this... It's simply not working for me.

I'm trying to get my site to show a link to a page I created via EZpages.

Here's how I have it set up:


I don't see any link on the footer.. here's a URL to my site:
http://wishgiving.com/index.php

What have I been doing wrong? Could it be because I'm using a custom template?

Look at your other thread for the same question to the possible solution for this ...

Hello,

I have ez-pages setup but it is not showing up on my frontpage. I have read all of the threads regarding them and set them up exactly to what they have said in the threads. So I believe I have a corrupted file of database somewhere along the line.

What I want to do it reload only the ez-page file and database portion. where do I find all of the files in the 1.3.7v zip file and the what entries in a fresh installed database do i take?

EZ-Pages sits in the ezpages table ...

Hello,

Good afternoon everyone. Thank you ajeh but I'm an idiot. When I kept reading about the sort order needs to be a different number than 0 I thought that you were talking about the ex-pages sidebox in the LayoutBox Controller in the admin>tools. So now I have ez-pages working just fine.

My new question is I want an external link to load within one of the ez-pages I made. So what I did was use a frame tag and posted the html in the editor but when I saved it the frameset html was removed. So my question is how do I get content from this external link to load within the ez-page.

here is the html I used in the ez-page:

<FRAMESET cols="95%">
  <FRAME src="http://www.??????.com/configurator.aspx?Settings=D2025479555555659">
  <NOFRAMES>
      <P>This frameset document contains:
      <UL>
         <LI><A href="contents_of_frame1.html">Some neat contents</A>
         <LI><IMG src="contents_of_frame2.gif" alt="A neat image">
         <LI><A href="contents_of_frame3.html">Some other neat contents</A>
      </UL>
  </NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>

what do you suggest

Hi all, i'm wondering if something is possible..

Now i know that it currently isn't possible to add additional ez-page sideboxes, but i would still like to divide up the ez-page sidebox into sections, divided by different headings..

For example :

HEADING 1
- ezpage content link
- ezpage content link
HEADING 2
- ezpage content link
- ezpage content link
HEADING 3
- ezpage content link

etc etc, all in the same box of course.

I think this may be possible by editing the for loop in tpl_ezpages.php, i'm just not sure what to add

I was thinking something along the lines of, if the $box_id is greater than 50, it is under $header2, if its greater than 100, its under $header3 etc etc

and $header2 and 3 are obviously just defined in tpl_ezpages.php as
$header2 = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'imagename.jpg');
$header3 = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'imagename2.jpg');

I hope that makes sense, and i hope someone can assist me with it, i think it should be possible, i just have no idea how to create the necessary if statements, and whether or not there are other things i need to take into consideration..

Thanks
