Correct means, and best practice, for linking from an EZ Page to a Define Pages?

[hotmetalrabbit]

I'm new to zen-cart: this is my first store, and my first posting. I would appreciate help/advice.

What is the correct means, and best practice, of linking from an EZ Page to a Define Pages? I am linking from an EZ Page to /modules/pages/page_3.

In the EZ Pages Editor, entering the following link in the URL creates the correctly linked hyperlink.
/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=page_3

From the perspective of zen-cart functionality, ‘best practice’ and security, is this the best means?

I found the function zen_ez_pages_link() for linking to an EZ Page. Is there a function for linking to Define Pages, or other functions for linking?

In the EZ Pages Editor, entering the following link in the URL creates the correctly linked hyperlink.
/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=page_3

This should help

echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link('page_3') . '">Click for Page 3</a>';

You almost got it right the first time.

When you use EZPages to create an internal link, it's simply a case of pasting:

index.php?main_page=page_3

Into the Internal URL field of the EZPage edit screen.

No need to put the sub-folder /zencart/ as this is in your <base href> header...

• Schoolboy: index.php?main_page=page_3 works perfectly.
  
  
  
• Skipwater: When I added "echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link('page_3') . '">Click for Page 3</a>';" into the html, the Ez Pages HTMLarea editor made substitutions that defeated the syntax. However, I will note this syntax for possible use elsewhere.

Thank you both, Skipwater and Schoolboy, for your help!
