Disabling "Page 2", "Page 3" and "Page 4" in Site Map listing?

[Ernesto]

I need to disable "Page 2", "Page 3" and "Page 4" from appearing in the Site Map listing. I have already gone into the Admin home>Configuration>Define Page Status for these pages set the value to 0.

I had initially setup my custom "define_page_2", "define_page_3" and "define_page_4" via includes/languages/english/html_includes/CUSTOM/ and now I moved away from that method and chose instead to use the EZ-pages.

I will greatly appreciate your comments.

Find page 2, page 3, page 4 near the bottom, looks like this
<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS >= '1') { ?>

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_2) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2 . '</a>'; ?></li>

<?php } ?>

<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_3_STATUS >= '1') { ?>

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_3) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3 . '</a>'; ?></li>

<?php } ?>

<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_4_STATUS >= '1') { ?>

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_4) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4 . '</a>'; ?></li>

<?php } ?>


Now change the < to > after status
(DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS <= '1')
to
(DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS >= '1')

That will remove the page from the site map

...or you could disable them without changing code by going to your admin Configuration->Define Page Status and set the status for page 2-4 to "3" (Link off, text off)

I prefer lat9's recommendation 100x times over! That absolutely did the job. For some reason I thought the number "0" meant "off" in the programming world. Silly me.

Thanks!

Hmm, ya that is a bit odd not off at 0. Thanks, this makes things a bit easier. Is there a simpler way to change the name of page 2,3,4 in the admin area to something more friendly or do we still have to go through code for that?

These are define pages...Changing what is displayed to the user in the sidebox is in english.php
This does not alter code or what address is in the browser
To correctly alter this one needs to create a new define page and this involves about 8 files/edits
The about us module or the additional more info pages module can be referenced for the files involved and steps to create your own

As Kobra wrote, you can change the text displayed in the sideboxes (and site_map and page_not_found pages) by editing the english.php file.

An alternate way to change the page name as displayed in the browser bar (e.g. www.your-site.com/index.php?main_page=page_2) would be to install one of the SEO add-ons available in the Free Software Add-ons section. I'm using the Ceon URI Mapping mod on one of my sites, and it would allow you to set your store up so that page_2 was shown in the browser bar as www/your-site.com/whatever_you_wanted.
