Hi Rick
I don't think so. There is no error being thrown like in that post. The link simply does not work.
I am going to test on a brand new install on a dev site without the SEO urls and see if that makes a difference.

Ok - just tested on a new install of 1.5.3
Created the EZ Page
Set it to off on all areas - header, footer, sidebox, etc.
Dreaded blank white page
https://zencarthostingservice.com/in...age=page&id=11
No error thrown off in /logs file
Turn it on for the footer - page shows up fine
I am going to remove it from the footer to see if anyone that is following this thread can figure out what is going on

I had to get a bit creative with chapter numbers so that I could 'greenlight' the TOC for pages not wanted to appear in listings but be usable from links. I recently upgraded from v1.3.9h to v1.5.3 which was outside the 3 year window mentioned.Quote:
they've always required "at least one active 'button'" for as long as I can remember. That's definitely NOT "new" in the last 3 years.
EzPages have always required at least one to be turned on and have a sort order number in the box in order to show up in footer / header / sidebox, etc - that is true. But I have always been able to access "inactive" pages that are not turned on anywhere simply by going to the link.
Here is another example on one of my sites that is running 1.5.1 of Zen Cart
http://www.tjsattic.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=9
It is a non active ezpage - and shows up fine if you have the link to it.

I'm pretty sure that if the EZ page is not active from one of the options, it is no longer reachable.
CHANGE-425 - Fix for: Deleted ez-pages didn't trigger a 404 not found. Disabled pages were still reachable. Now sends to home page and shows message.
Sends to home page and shows message functions IF you make the edit suggested by AJEH in the other thread but does not make them reachable. The path to the file has a small glitch. includes/modules/pages/page/header_php.php
That is why I mentioned having to make changes to the Chapters and then turn ON the ToC greenlight to be able to reach EZ pages via a link without being in a footerlink, etc. It took quite a bit to regain functionality of being able to reach EZ pages via a link instead of menu.
That is what I experienced and sounds like that is what you are describing as seeing in 1.5.3?
Good eye Rick!
I can see fixing the deleted pages not triggering a 404 Error. Disappointed that it seems since V1.5.2 there has been some sort of change to "disabled" ez-pages, which does not send to home page.... as possibly a deleted one would, but goes to a blank page.
SUCCESS!!!!!!
Look in includes/modules/pages/page/header_php.php around line 29
Change the following code:
// comment the following line to allow access to pages which don't have a status switch set to Yes:
$sql .= " AND (status_toc > 0 or status_header > 0 or status_sidebox > 0 or status_footer > 0)";
To this:
// comment the following line to allow access to pages which don't have a status switch set to Yes:
//$sql .= " AND (status_toc > 0 or status_header > 0 or status_sidebox > 0 or status_footer > 0)";
Then you will be able to see the ez_page if it is not active - see previous link that gave a white page

vickilapp, I feel your pain! I can go to each page and put the code back in from my database since it is all still there but i'm affraid if I do that I might mess something up. It feels like there is soemthing with EZ pages that had an addon which is out of date and I need to upgrade. I'm not exactly sure what flies to look for.
MC123456789 - Thanks for your input. Yes, a long day indeed X-P. I think I understand what you mean - comparing files for differences but i'm not sure what files to look at in relation to EZ pages. I looked at my custom template and the default template and there isn't much there. Most of the customization is just in the CSS (i've been using winmerge for file comparisson). And in answer to your error log suggestion... I honestly don't know how to turn that on or if it is on, where it is stored. Just in the /logs folder? Your suggestion about the he/s vs he's makes sense but I hadn't edited the site, just did an upgrade. Would a mistake in the HTML from the EZ page content make this happen?
After i discovered this problem, I also realized that my new orders that are coming in through paypal were not posting, meaning, Customers came to my store, bought stuff, paid (paypal IPN) and after that I didn't get a notification email of the order, The customer also didn't get an email and worst of all the ADMIN area for orders has NOTHING. I since switched to paypal express checkout (the Paypal IPN was set in 2007 and has never changed). That seemed to fix it. I made a test order and I got all three notifications (customer email, order email and posting of order in admin area).
To anyone participating here: Can I just copy/paste what I see in the database into each EZ page and be done with it? I'm just worried something else might be wrong. I wish I could find out if an ez page addon was there that is likely old and just update it. Grrr! I'm getting there though!
I'm looking at the thread and I don't think the info here suits my problem specifically. So, I think I'm going to try and just copy/paste a few of the non-essential pages and see if that works. I'm sure there is a plugin or addon having to do with Ez pages that I am not sure where/what to update/delete for it to grab the info from the database. I'll report back if it works, but I'd much rather find what's causing the pages not to load from the database rather than just doing this. oh well.
