Easy way to add more pages?

[gjh42]

You do define your custom content, and the name you want the page links to be identified by.
What you do not do is define the URL - that must be index.php?main_page=page&id=##

And the TOC/chapter is optional, only to be used if you want two or more ez-pages to be tied together. If you want separate pages that just link from the sidebox or header/footer menus, just add a sort order and activate the one(s) you want.

Thanks Glenn, I figured that. Im actually just adding a few more static pages and ran out of define_pages.

Cheers,

Ok guys, I'm trying to created a custom page.
I go to Tools>EZ-Pages>New File.
Page title is given as stores
open new window:no
page is ssl:no
header:no, blank
sidebox:no, blank
footer:yes, order 10
chapter:blank
toc:no, blank

I've inserted some content.
I've specified internal link url: index.php?main_page=stores
I click insert and BAM, no problems. Page is created b/c i see it under "EZ-Pages select a page" section.....Right?

I open my browser go to http://mytestdomainname.com/store/in...in_page=stores and nada.
"Page not found", right in my face.......
"A custom 404 error page with site map sample text...".....

What am i doing wrong?
I've tried to go to Tools>define pages but I don't see the stores page there. I'm not sure If I'm suppose to though.

I went back to ez-pages, i edited my stores page, i click update just to see if it's going to create it, but then it displays:
"Error: you have defined multiple settings when only one may be defined per Link ...
Only define either: HTML Content -or- Internal Link URL -or- External Link URL"
When I erase the Internal Link URL:index.php?main_page=stores
then click update, the error msg goes away, but then the URL to my stores page does not exist....

What the heck?

Did some more troubleshooting........

1. created my own stores php file in
/includes/languages/english/stores.php
/includes/modules/pages/stores/header_php.php
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_stores.php
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_stores_default.php
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_stores.php

I've inserted some content in to both define_stores.php, the link works now but no content displays, even when I input content through define pages...

I don't get the 404 error, All I get is my title and a back button.

What the heck.....

I apologize if I don't understand what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you're making this a lot more difficult than it really is.

If you want to create an EZ page with content you've added, you wouldn't do anything with the URL boxes. As it says,
If specified, the page content will be ignored and this INTERNAL alternate URL will be used to make the link

Just specify the name of the page, and select where you want the link to appear (you did all that stuff right). A link to the page will appear where you specified and the URL of the EZ page is automatically created.

Define pages and EZ pages are two different things, so EZ pages won't show up in the define pages list.

My custom template overrode the original tpl_contact_us_default.php template and so I have downloaded it from default_templates and placed it into my custom folder of templates.

However, now I'm trying to figure out how to get it to display. Under the Tools > EZ Pages - I've deleted out HTML contact in the HTML editor area and placed the internal link where required, but I'm still getting error message:

Error: you have defined multiple settings when only one may be defined per Link ...
Only define either: HTML Content -or- Internal Link URL -or- External Link URL

How do I resolve this so that the default contact us form displays when someone clicks on the Contact Us link?

Hmm...for some reason although I was deleting out the HTML entered contents in favour of the internal link, the Admin area was not immediately recognizing this.

I had to do it several times - manually deleting out HTML content, re-entering internal URL before the change actually took.

It's now working!!!
