How do EZ-Pages work?

[ivorytklr]

Up until now I've been able to solve my ZC problems by searching the forum, but this time I give up. I'm tired. Just tired.

The site is http://www.shopjustvintage.com

Two EZ Pages problems.

First, I had changed the box heading to "Pages of Interest" (that's all I could think of right then) and it showed up as that in the sidebox. That was several days ago. I can't remember what I've done since then - I know I deleted the EZ page I'd created, or tried to create. Left it alone for a few days and tried again today, but the box heading does not show Pages of Interest. Instead, it shows BOX_HEADING_TITLE. What in the world did I unknowingly change???
Here's the code in includes/languages/english/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/ez_pages_definitions.php

<?php/** * ezpages language components - used when displaying components for EZ-Pages content * * @package languageDefines * @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0 * @version $Id: ez_pages_definitions.php 2739 2005-12-30 19:00:50Z birdbrain $ */// ez-pages sidebox title namedefine('BOX_HEADING_EZPAGES', 'Pages of Interest');define('TEXT_EZ_PAGES_TABLE_CONTEXT', 'Table of Contents');define('CURRENT_PAGE_INDICATOR', '&nbsp;*&nbsp;');define('NOT_CURRENT_PAGE_INDICATOR', '&nbsp;-&nbsp;');?>

What am I missing? Do I need to change something somewhere else?

Second............

I've created a test EZ Page called Test. It shows up in the sidebox. It's clickable, but opens up a blank page. A page that should have the words, "Testing 1-2-3". I put those words in the html area. Nothing in the internal or external links boxes.

I do hope someone has the answers!

You will be better off to upload the original file ez_pages_definitions.php, and then follow these instructions. Hope this helps.

Shoot. I used Fantastico, so don't have a copy of the file. Typical of me, since all I had to do was change a couple of words, I didn't make a copy of the file. I mean, really! There was nothing to it! I knew what it was supposed to look like. Sigh. I will, certainly, if that's the only way, but I'd rather not have to download the whole program for that itty bitty file. I truly appreciate the suggestion, but do we have another?

Short answer? Nope. You should have a copy of all the files on your desktop, just for such problems.

[ivorytklr]

OK. Downloaded the whole shebang, uploaded the file and the title problem is solved which leaves problem #2. (And I really do feel better having those files on my desktop.)

The link opens up a blank page. The EZ Page file was created, named Test, and the words Testing 1-2-3 are in the html area. The page opens, but is totally blank. Just a big, white, nothing. No internal or external links were specified. This one really has me baffled.

Hello,

When I type a description for my EZ page it wraps around the TOC.
I would like to have it neatly display below it.
I suppose that I need a br.clearBoth somewhere.
The question is: where?
Is there a template that governs the display of the description?
The template for the sidebox dosn't help for this.
Thanks.

Not sure if this would help, but there is an add-on sidebox for the TOC to show only when on the EZ-Pages with TOCs ...

Hello Zen Fellows,

I've had trouble finding my answer wherever I've looked. It may be that I saw it right here and didn't understand it without the context of my own pages.

My question is, in the 'Gift Certificate Fact' EZ page, there are links which when clicked, populate the lower part of the page, beneath the links, with information. From where is this information being called and how can I set up such a page?

Please ignore the ugliness of my site, it's temporary until I can get a nice design together. Here is an example of the EZ page I'm speaking of: http://dandizetteapparel.com/index.p...faq&faq_item=1

If you look in the language file for the:
/includes/languages/english/gv_faq.php

you will see how the links are built ...

If you need to change them, be sure to use your templates and overrides files ...

Thanks Ajeh!, I will check that out.
