Making Page_5 work

[yellow1912]

There is a super cool mod called Define Page Generator. Download it and you can create new page with any name within seconds.

Thanks for that.
I took a look, but it says I need MS.Net Framework 2.0
I know it might seem daft to youger minds, but there are only so many new things I can get my head around at any one time - & I feel like I'm on overload already!!
I might take a look if I get driven to desperation by not being able to sort it the cloning way or the "About Us" module, but I think this new thing will come in 3rd place.
I do appreciate the thought though & I'm sure lots of others will use it.
Also, it needs 1.3.7 & I only have 1.3.02 at the moment.
Thanks again
regards

Although an upgrade to the newer version of Zen Cart is highly recommended, I agree with ###### on the .Net framework. Don't use it either and don't plan to in the near future. W2000 works just fine for me the way it is. My Laptop has Vista though so might give it try on that.

######, do you see an error msg. or success msg. after editting your page 5 in the Admin section?

Hi,
I don't get any sort of message, but then I don't when I edit 2, 3 or 4.
Should I?

It usually take at least 10 - 15 mins to create a page for ZC, now it takes me 5secs. I wouldn't say I cant live without the mod, but it certainly makes my life easier.
Especially in my case, I build many cart sites for customers, and I have to create many custom pages for them, so the mod is a time saver.

If file permission are not 777 then the Admin Editor cannot write to the file and you will get an Error msg. There is no success msg. but thought I'd ask anyway.

Not really sure what the problem is but if you are not going to update, to v1.3.8a, then might be faster to use the "About Us" mod mentioned earlier or use an EZ page setup instead.

Hi Gayelston,

I face the exact same problem as you when following the instructions
1)Not showing up in define page status
2)not showing up when i click on the link in the more information box

Anyway, im using the latest version 1.3.8 so i dont think its the version problem.

Can anyone out there solve our problem? Please dont ask us to use EZpages or aboutus zip.....

Hi Gayelston,

I just solved my problem which is also yours. I hope you have not given up.

The below solves both issues i mentioned, definepage status and also appearing when i click on more information add page link.

1)Go to Admin-->Tools-->Install SQL patches

2)copy and paste the following SQL quote(change the 5 to whatever page number you want) :
insert into configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key,
configuration_value, configuration_description,
configuration_group_id,
sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)
values
('Define Page 5', 'DEFINE_PAGE_5_STATUS', '1', 'Enable the Defined
Page 5
Link/Text?<br />0= Link ON, Define Text OFF<br />1= Link ON, Define
Text
ON<br />2= Link OFF, Define Text ON<br />3= Link OFF, Define Text
OFF',
'25', '83', now(), now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'0\',
\'1\',
\'2\', \'3\'),');


Hope you have a blessed time with your project!

OH YES! please backup all your files relating to zencart as running this query is 'nearly' impossible to reverse and it could mess your database big time.

And this solution was from a fellow Zenner. not mine....

That's what I did, by cloning a Page 2in ALL the various places
The new page shows everywhere EXCEPT the Config Define Page Status.
When I select the page from the sidebox, I can see the title on the main page, but none of the text that I entered using the Tools Define Page Editor.
I even have it on the sitemap.
Just need to know how to make the last bit work.
Regards

Why don't you use define_page_generator from downloads? It worked really good for me!
