EZ Pages

[firstcapitalfirearms]

I am trying to figure out how to add a new page to my site on the header via EZ Pages but so far am not having much luck. I am hoping someone can help me out and lead me to the right direction. I am setting it up on a "test" site first and then if all is well I will do the same on my "live" site. Anyways I went to Tools-EZ Pages-New Page. I clicked edit and renamed it Special Orders. I then clicked the red square under the Header and made it green. I clicked my store and nothing shows on the header or anywhere for that matter. What am I doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Check that the 'sort order' field in the header selection has a non-zero number in it.

This may be another stupid question but is there a way for me to change where the link / button is on the header. I appreciate all the help. I had a "Zero" for the sort order.

Thanks

Not sure what you mean.

Not sure what you mean.

Sorry for example on my site www.firstcapitalfirearms.com I would like to place the new EZ Page between the "Shop" and the "About Us" on the header. Is that possible and if so how hard is it and where do I need to go to make that possible.

Thanks

Give a link to your test site

I would like to place the new EZ Page between the "Shop" and the "About Us" on the header.

That is not the EZPages header. It's a mega-menu header. You can code in the link on the menu's TPL file, but this would throw out the current CSS settings too, so you would have to adjust the CSS once your new link has been coded in.

Ok, would it be easier for me to create a sidebar/banner page instead. I am totally new to all of this and am not sure what you are talking about above. It seems too difficult for me with the little bit of experience that I have.

My test site is http://firstcapitalfirearms.com/test2/

Your template seems to be using Picaflor Azul's MEGA MENU.

... and you are HIDING some of the menu options using {display:none} declarations in the stylesheet. (That's OK to do this - just bear in mind that you/your designer has chosen to DISABLE some features in the MEGA-MENU through CSS, rather than make edits to core code. This is a GOOD WAY of disabling the display of stuff on a website - if you are unsure of CODE EDITING).

Now...

You will have a file on your server...

includes\templates\bradford_pure\common\tpl_mega_menu.php

Around Line 146 / 147, you should see:

</li><!-- eof shop by brand    -->

	<li class="aboutus-li"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US); ?>" class="drop"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US; ?></a><!-- bof about us -->

You can ADD your new link just AFTER that (<!-- eof shop by brand -->) bit.

Something like:

</li><!-- eof shop by brand    -->

<li class="specialorders-li"><a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=17">Special Orders</a></li>

<li class="aboutus-li"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US); ?>" class="drop"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_ABOUT_US; ?></a><!-- bof about us -->

... Where " 17 " is the ID of that EZpage you created.

You may need to use the li class="specialorders-li" for styling purposes.

BACKUP the tpl_mega_menu.php file first... then try my addition.
