How do EZ-Pages work?

[willuw]

Did you try changing the # with the page_id for the EzPage that you are changing?

Not sure what you mean

[Ajeh]

If you look in the URL for this EzPage, you will see something like id=3 ...

You should then make a define for it that reads:

  define('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_3', 'something');

[willuw]

That works for some reason...I guess I have to specify a title for each page I make then..

[Ajeh]

That is how it is designed so you can make custom titles ...

You could try customizing the:
/includes/modules/meta_tags.php

using your templates and overrides for:
/includes/modules/your_template_dir/meta_tags.php

and customize this code:

// EZ-Pages:
  case 'page':
  $ezpage_id = (int)$_GET['id'];
  $chapter_id = (int)$_GET['chapter'];
  if (defined('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_'.$ezpage_id)) define('META_TAG_TITLE', constant('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_'.$ezpage_id));

to read:

// EZ-Pages:
  case 'page':
  $ezpage_id = (int)$_GET['id'];
  $chapter_id = (int)$_GET['chapter'];
  if (defined('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_'.$ezpage_id)) {
    define('META_TAG_TITLE', constant('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_'.$ezpage_id));
  } else {
    define('META_TAG_TITLE', (defined('NAVBAR_TITLE') ? NAVBAR_TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION : ''));
  }
  if (defined('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_EZPAGE_'.$ezpage_id)) define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', constant('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_EZPAGE_'.$ezpage_id));

Worked for me too!
This should be made sticky. I searched and searched and found the answer today !

Trying to implement a lot of easy pages, with a lot of characters. Product parts manuals and cannot use PDFs!

What is the best way to use EZ pages without storing data in the database?

Other than using page2 and page3 method, how can data be pulled, from an outside html page on your own server, utilizing EZ pages?

[gjh42]

You could create the ez-page as an external link; this would go to the actual html page when clicked, and would be outside the ZC structure.

You would probably want some standardized HTML wrapping for these pages so they resemble your site, including prominent links to lead back to the ZC structure.

But why is the side box option used for the footer?

Do not understand??
There are 4 settings for a page
header
sidebox
footer
TOC

Coffee in hand. Good morning Kobra

Let's work on this now - no interruptions

[Parafanaylya]

Do not understand??
There are 4 settings for a page

These have all been toggled and orders entered and removed in the past.

header

Status - disabled

sidebox

Status - enabled, sort order 25

footer

Status - enabled, order 30

TOC

Status - enabled, Chapter 1, TOC 10

Configuration>EZ-Pages Settings

Display status of footerbar and sidebox both 1 = on

The footer display is my first prize position. Is there a way to incorporate the pricing and custom products links into the shop column?
