Is this possible EZ pages linked in header?

[lynnema]

I am using the Simple Zen Template, and wanted to know if it is possible to link custom EZ pages in the same area that the "shopping cart, contact us and my account" links are? If so, how can I do this?

Here is my site thus far, such as it is:

Thanks in advance!

hey your site looks great. I am curious how you got the shopping cart link and account at the top right....is this a module or did you hard code it?

Thanks so much for the compliment! I am using the "simple zen" template, and it is a function of that template. The stylesheet shows the possibility of using images, and of using text, and that is where it places it. Hope that explains it!

Just as an update - I figured out how to put the links where I want them to go... but is it possible to link EZ pages in that location? Thanks again!

[bjraines]

Hmmm which links are those then, I had assumed it was the easy links. They were just some hardcoded links?

You can move anything anywhere you want my editing the main template file but you have to make sure you don't mess up the php. Where do you want to move it.

I am about to download that template. Thanks!

I am frustrated with the EZ links because everything else in the defualt template are lists but this , why I don't know.

I completely understand. I just want to figure out how to get the url address for the EZ pages, so I can put them where I want to, instead of in the default lists. Anyone, anyone?

Here are three ways, depending on what you are trying to do and where. All accomplish almost the same end result.

<a href="<?php echo zen_ez_pages_link($pageNum);?>"><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></a>

zen_href_link(FILENAME_EZPAGES, 'id=' . $pageNum, 'NONSSL');

(or 'SSL' if appropriate)

index.php?main_page=page&id=12345

(must manually make your URL as HTTPS or not)

Thank you so very much! I finally found the third method... much trolling was involved... What is the advantage or disadvantage to using each method? Does it matter much? You guys are the best!

Man I was with ya until the SSL stuff. I thought all I had to do was just purchase the SSL from my host. Now I have to worry about links I make? Boy oh boy

[lynnema]

I'm not too sure about the SSL stuff myself. But the third method of using <a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=12345"> does work... you can find the page id number in the admin page where you create the EZ pages themselves. You probably just want to be careful that you aren't creating new links for pages that have to be secured, like your shopping cart. But if the pages are just informational, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
