Just don't understand the problem.

I've probably got the prefix wrong...
I don't have a directory for my store so what do I need to change here?
Code:
INSERT INTO configuration( configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description,
configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function ) VALUES (
'Sponsors', 'DEFINE_SPONSORS_STATUS', '1', 'Enable Sponsors Link/Text?<br />0= Link ON,
Define Text OFF<br />1= Link ON, Define Text ON<br />2= Link OFF, Define Text ON<br />3= Link OFF,
Define Text OFF', '25', '84', now( ) , now( ) , NULL , 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'0\', \'1\', \'2\', \'3\'),');

I'm still not getting any content on my page. There is content for the page in the "define pages editor". It's there. I can save it. I can change it. Nothing ever shows up on the actual page. I clear my cache. I restart my computer. I use different browsers. Nothing.
I finally couldn't wait any longer as my link partners were getting a bit anxious so I had to resort to the old "about us page" contribution. Actually it worked quite well. I changed the name of the page to Links instead of Sponsors just in case there might be some lingering database entries that would conflict with the failed attempt.

I guess I was just too lazy to try the "about us" solution like I had with my older versions of ZC.
I still cannot for the life of me figure out why this generator gave me so much trouble. I checked everything four or five times over. If anyone ever has the same problem or figures it out I would be interested in the solution.
Thanks for all your help.
This is a great mod. Really after reading everyones posts i'm really looking forward to getting it working.
I have a question if someone could help please...
after reading all the posts i can see that the common problems are where to add the files to the existing directory structure. I think I have that bit right.
The other problem is how to link to the new page. I can see that this is done using a link in php.
My question........ with accessibility to search engines as a priority is there a way to link to the new page I have made not using php. Or a way that will allow search engines to see my new page?
sorry if this question has been asked already, but i searched for it and couldn't find it.
Is this generator compatible with 1.3.8 ? I'd rather not download it, fiddle with it, and then find out it won't work with my shop :(
thanks. :)
HOW TO SHOW UP YOUR NEWLY CREATED PAGES
your can add the link to the new page to any location as desired.
The URL for it is either:
- zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFINED_PAGE)
or
- http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=DEFINED_PAGE
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO ADD TO THE "information" SIDEBOX:
a. edit /includes/modules/sideboxes/MYTEMPLATE/information.php
b. add this line, perhaps right above the "Shipping" link (FILENAME_SHIPPING):
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFINED_PAGE) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_DEFINED_PAGE . '</a>';
c. Upload these changes to your server, and the link will appear in your "information" sidebox.
:hug:
New here and I have been reading over the posts about how to get the new files that I created to work and well, I am still unable to figure this out:blush:. If someone can KINDLY deal with my questions that I know have been asked, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
I specified my page name: Facts, the correct template name: my_template, and saved in an empty temp folder: temp-gen. I used my FTP program to upload to my store but WHERE exactly do I load the files created, which folder? I have tried several places and nothing works so I want to make sure WHERE to load the files to.
Thanks SO Much!
This module comes with a Help page and is very good reading for all using it.
With that said, here are some quicky usage instructions
Page Name (case-sensitive)
- enter as per the way you want the Text to show on your Web page
ie. Help Desk << this is the text to be used for the link
Template Name (case-sensitive)
- type exactly as used within your Zen Cart
Directory
- this is where the files will be saved on your computer
- browse to a temporary dir. and create a New Folder using the Page Name above
this will put everything into one easy to find location
When finished, browse to the temp dir. on your computer and to the dir. with the Page Name. Inside is a dir. named 'includes' and a 'readme.txt' file.
Within your Hosting account, browse to your Zen Cart and upload the 'includes' dir. from your computer. All files will be uploaded to where they need to be.
In order to see this new link though, you will have to manually create/add a link on whatever page you desire.
The only suggestion I can make is...
The 'readme.txt' says this:
After copying these files to your zencart installation directory, you can link to this page using the following link:
http://yourdomain.com/zencart_direct...page=help_desk
(help_desk is just my example define page)
I would not use that link but instead:
index.php?main_page=help_desk
It will then work just fine on SSL and non-SSL pages. Using the first link example will not.
