How do EZ-Pages work?

[bettysue]

Ok, I've searched read and re-read and still have a question/confusion about EZ-Pages and the header links.

I have the pages showing in the sidebox just fine, the TOC is dandy, yet I cannot get them to show up in the header.

When you enable the ez-pages to show up in the header, is that placing the links in the regular header or the ez-pages header?

I am trying to have them appear in the regular header and have been trying to figure it out. I looked at the ez_pages_definitions.php file and couldn't figure out it's purpose or how to change it or know if it would help the header.

There are also no links showing up in the footer.

Did I miss some strategic posts?

Any help appreciated,

EZ-Pages has its own line for the links ...

Kill the line and kill the links ...

Thank you for the info Ajeh. I still have a brain cramp though.

In order to add them to the regular header and have them show properly, I would normally need to define them in the header.php file and the filenames.php file. I also notice there is the ez_pages_definitions.php file which I can't figure the links out on.

If I delete the "line" will the ez-pages that are specified as showing in the header, automagically show in the regular header now? Or do I need to figure out a way to define them?

thank you Ajeh,

You might peek at the footer and see how they are added to the footer Home link ...

This may give you a clue to moving them up to the header ...

Note: keeping them separate was done in the header because when logged in, have stuff in the cart, etc. etc. etc. there isn't any room for more links ...

Actually I'm hoping once I upgrade to 1.36 that they will start showing up in the footer as currently even though designated as such, they are no shows

Sure there is enough room, as long as you don't mind consuming most of the line

thank you again Ajeh!

I tried this and the ez-pages link still aren't showing up in the header. Do I need to add them to the header.php file? If so, what do I use for a page name? The title of the page with blank spaces between words, put underscores in between words? i.e. About Us vs. About_us.

Also since they are not real pages, but instead stored in the db would they even be found?

I did think that the EZ Pages were the best thing in the newer versions, however it's a nightmare trying to figure out how to link them in places other than their original designated header, footer and sidebox.

Even in the sideboxes, I'm trying to keep like documents in the same sidebox, yet I can't find/figure out how to put an ez page link in the information sidebox. So that leaves me with the ez-pages sidebox with a variety of unrelated links.

Am I just missing something in the directions someplace, and placement is easier than it has been for me?

Please don't misunderstand me, I still think Zencart is the superior cart both in the free and commercial product fields.

I am just really really frustrated with myself in trying to get the ez page links where I need them.

thank you,
