How do EZ-Pages work?

[spbennett]

With CSS if what you want isn't there, you just add it. For example, you could change the color of the EZ-Pages links at the top by adding the following to your stylesheet

Thanks for the info. Changed the colour to white with no probs but could someone also explain how to centre align the links? I'm assuming this is also done in the stylesheet but is it something I need to change or something I need to add?

CSS confuses the hell out of me so could you please be precise about what I should add/change and if it's adding lines, where I would need to add them?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Steve.

Can anyone help?

Could you give me more details or a website to look at? Maybe I can help.

Sorry dinosoup, been kinda busy lately. My problem can be seen here. You will see that the ezpages links in the header are all left aligned but the links in the footer are all centre aligned. My minor problem is that I'd like the header links to also be centre aligned. Also the "::" seperator in the header is black, but in the footer it's white.

Any help would be very appreciated.

This post is not AFAIK related to any specific matter raised in this thread but it seemed to me to be a good place to raise my query - please forgive me and please redirect me if there is a more appropriate thread.

I have encountered a difficulty with EZ pages refusing to accept more than 65408 (or thereabouts) characters.

I have read a FAQ answer which suggests two possible solutions:

1: split the text into smaller chunks and increase the number of EZ pages - not easy in my case

OR

2: modify the MySQL database so that the relevant field is changed from TEXT type to MEDIUMTEXT type, thereby allowing millions of characters.

I have done the latter and find that I can save more than 65408 characters (or thereabouts) into the field, via PHPMyadmin, and view the result both in admin and in customers' mode.

BUT if I edit the text in the admin section (using any editor or Plain Text) when it contains more than 65,408 characters (or thereabouts) all the data in the field is erased. It isn't even truncated, it's completely erased. (Curiously, though, on a 'parallel' site, on a different host, with no tinkering with the database, the text DOES get truncated.)

Other than by increasing the number of pages, which I really don't want to do, can anyone give me a clue as to why the PHPMyAdmin WILL save the text into the database, but Zen Cart 1.3.7 won't??

If I try to save 65,409 characters into the EZ Page, the phenomenon occurs - it's not as though I am trying to save millions of chracters.

I've read various ez-pages support threads and faq entries and have yet to discover how table of contents and chapters work. I'm sure it is simple mistake on my part and I'm missing one critical setting. I've set-up a number of ez-pages which display fine in sidebox, header and footer. Then later I added Jade's CSS dropdown header menu and disabled ez-pages header and added some ez-pages links to the dropdown menu (ez-pages which directly link to external URL's). The links show up in the drop down menu fine. So everything up to this point is ok.

However I have decided I want chapter next/prev navigation links display on my sidebox ez-pages.

I have set-up my ez-pages for TOC and Chapter (see below). However my sidebox ez-pages still do not display prev/next nav links. And I do not know how to access the Table of Contents page? Is a link to the TOC page suppose to automagically appear somewhere? Is there a special format of the TOC page URL?

Here are my relevant ez-pages settings...

Config > ez-pages settings:

EZ-Pages Prev/Next Buttons 	2 	 
EZ-Pages Table of Contents for Chapters Status 	1 	 

EZ-Pages Prev/Next Buttons - Display Prev/Continue/Next buttons on EZ-Pages pages?
>> 2="Prev/Continue/Next"

EZ-Pages Table of Contents for Chapters Status - Enable EZ-Pages Table of Contents for Chapters?
>> 1= ON

Tools > ez-pages

Is there something in the stylesheet I have to enable? Which code in which file is responsible for displaying the prev/next nav links on the ez-pages and for displaying TOC page(s). Possibly I have unintentionally disabled the needed code while customizing the shop (I have intentionally disabled prev/next from displaying on product listing and product info pages).

Thank you for any ideas.

new question. probably asked and answered but can't find

"top of page" links?

Using Dreamweaver I've inserted html to link an image in EZ-page to the top of the page - using both a named anchor and just referencing # in the link.

In both cases, in both FF and IE the link takes me back to the home page.

Standard pages nothing fancy.

Any suggestions/explanations?

Thanks
