EZ Pages Setup Issues

[jarus323]

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/index.php?main_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....

Any tips?

Alright, here it goes:
Login to our admin page
Go to Tools>Layout Boxes Controller
make sure sideboxes/ezpages.php is turned on
Go to Tools>EZ Pages>new file
Insert Page Title: wholesaleinfo
Sidebox:Yes, Order 10
The rest is no.
Click Insert.
At this point, your page URL will be pointed to the ID of the page. You can view the ID of the newly created page by going to
Tools>EZ Pages
In my case, my page ID was 3 so the URL to reach it is:
http://yourdomain/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=3
I really did not like that the page link was referring to a page ID. It's not very SEO like so I have edited the newly created page and specified in the "internal Link URL: index.php?main_page=wholesaleinfo"
That's it.

One thing that still troubles me is that if I decide to insert content while the URL is specified to go to "index.php?main_page=wholesaleinfo" it does not let me. I get an error: Error: you have defined multiple settings when only one may be defined per link.........blah blah blah".

This error does not happen when i leave the internal link url blank.

Bummer.......

The error about multiple settings means you can only use a url to link to OR insert your html. You can't do both on one EZ Page.

An internal link means a page that is already in ZC: ie shipping, contact us, conditions. An external link is a webpage that you have outside of ZC.

Alright, well, I hope someone developed a mod for this. I've figured out an alternative, manual way to do this by creating tpl php files and define_pagenames.php. That seemed to do it.
I also tried to modify the ezpages table from the pageID integer to PageID varchar so I can put letters there, but that did not work so i reverted the change.

EZ Pages are stored in the database. Define pages are an entirely different thing, created with files. How did you make the page you're trying to link to with EZ Pages?

That has been baffling me. I want my Internal Link "index.php?main_page=FAQ" links to my created page FAQ.php, but 404 error found. I put FAQ.php under \includes\templates\MY DOMAIN\templates. Where should i put it?

Help please!

[TShooters]

Is the FAQ page you created a define page? If so, your file would go in /includes/languages/english/html_includes/ FAQ.php and
in /includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_custom_template/ FAQ.php

Use the About Us contribution/mod to compare that you have created all the files required to create a new define page.

Hope this helps!

I am using Zencart version 1.3.8a. I have created EZ pages with internal links to the 'define' pages in the Information sidebox. I have set the EZ pages to appear in the footer.

I have also done the following:
- CONFIGURATION - EZ Pages Settings. Footer is set to 1 (ON)
- TOOLS - Layout Box Controller - EZ Pages Sidebox is ON

However, I can't get the EZ Pages links to show up in the footer. What am I missing?
