Incomplete Page List in Define Pages Editor

[krazykev]

Hi all,

can someone confirm if this is desired behaviour or a potential bug.

If define pages exist in the template folder

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/TEMPLATE

but not in the "standard" folder

/includes/languages/english/html_includes

then they are not listed in the drop down of the Define Pages Editor.

Obviously the files shouldn't have been removed from

/includes/languages/english/html_includes

in the first place (I have been playing around), but if files exist in

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/ TEMPLATE

they are not needed in /includes/languages/english/html_includes anyway.

Just wondering?

If you have files in:
/includes/languages/english/html_includes

then they get overridden by anything in:
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_templates_dir

However, if you have files in
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_templates_dir

that are not in
/includes/languages/english/html_includes

then there is nothing to "override" so they do not show up ...

Just add empty files or what have you on new files for the
/includes/languages/english/html_includes

so that what ever lives there can be overridden by what lives in
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_templates_dir

easy smeazy, eh?

HI Ajeh,

you are right, there is nothing to override so it makes sense not to list the page in the Define Pages Editor. But if this scenario happens, and thre is nothing to override, the page still appears in the site map. So its a little inconsistent???

I'm just being picky I think but I do like to investigate things and see how they "really" work as oposed to how they "should" work.

I will have to go try out that theory when I have time ... as that is a tad moofy if that is happening ...

meanwhile, gotta go make dinner ...

Aha! A clue ...

The Site Map is hard coded differently ... it is not managed automatically like the Admin editory ...

Example in the tpl_site_map_default.php you will see:

<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS <= '1') { ?>
            <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_2) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2 . '</a>'; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_3_STATUS <= '1') { ?>
            <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_3) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3 . '</a>'; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_4_STATUS <= '1') { ?>
            <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_4) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4 . '</a>'; ?></li>
<?php } ?>

That is not attempting to do anything but call the links and there is no check for the files themselves ...

Hi,

juat noticed your reply. Makes sense! Perhaps an enhancement for 1.4?

Thanks for looking into it.
