Add to config define pages admin list

[gwmbox]

Hi guys

I am still searching and reading many posts on this one as there seems to be many asking for it.

Anyway first I am not using EZ-pages as I find the define pages editor more simple and have not found an effective ez-pages tutorial - but that's another topic.

So back to define pages problem I need help with.

Adding new pages is a breeze with the aid of the help of the About_Us tutorial/example.

However I want to be able to turn pages on or off just like the other define pages from the Configuration - Define Pages admin section - but when I add new pages they are not auto listed here - is there something I missed or something else I need to do - please help.

Cheers

The About Us contribution was intentionally designed to not provide switches for turning the page on/off, because the coding to set up all the conditional logic is too tough for most newbies to comprehend.

If you want to do it, you need to:
A. add the switches into the database, following the pattern:

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 ('Define Conditions of Use', 'DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS', '1', 'Enable the Defined Conditions of Use 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, 75, now(), now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'0\', \'1\', \'2\', \'3\'),');

B. add the conditions to your sidebox, following the pattern:

  if (DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS <= 1) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a>';
  }

C. You probably don't need to support the switch settings for "2" and "3", but if you do, then you need to follow the pattern in your template file:

<?php if (DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS <= 2) { ?>
<div id="conditionsMainContent" class="content">
<?php
/**
 * require the html_define for the conditions page
 */
  require($define_page);
?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Worked perfect - thank you so much and for a such a quick response

Oh and if you want it to be added to the site map

add code

            <?php if (DEFINE_ABOUT_US_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
            <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT_US . '</a>'; ?></li>
            <?php } ?>

to the tpl_site_map_default.php in your template folder :)

DrByte, We want to thank you for your post. This post has been here a while, as the date so clearly states, but it was still very helpful for us. As easy as that was, we will add all of our pages with these steps.
Thanks again,
