PHP inside ezpages

[jackrich1967]

I am a newbee, how do I

1. edit the above pages to show different page names.
I have changed page title and header, but dont know where to change the page names as they appear in the lefthand column sidebox on the main page.

2. I seem to have lost icon.gif and put in in the wrong location(UK flag showing language as english) where does that image file go?

Somebody help please.

1. Whatever you name the page on the ezpages view is the anchor text for the link to it in the menu. (I use the sidebox version)

2. This really isn't an ezpages question, but the path you are asking for is /includes/languages/english/images/icon.gif Being in the US, I often replace the unionjack with the stars and stripes.

Thanks for the advice. I sorted out the problems and catalogued it. Much appreciated.

I've tried to use this code to implement a "Catalog Request" form in an ez-page that I created. The form handling and everything is done from within the ez-page. However, when the form is submitted, I simply get redirected back to the index page of my site, and the submit fails. I had a similar problem with another form I tried to create.

The form itself is pretty basic and I'm confident that the problem doesn't lie within the code itself. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I remember pulling my hair out trying to get a form to work inside infopages. (predecessor to ezpages). I'll take a look and see if I can remember how I did it.

Okay,
inside my infopage is this line.

<? include( "/home/USERNAME/public_html/FORM_FILE_NAME.php" );?>

then inside my included file I have this

<?

$comments=stripslashes($comments);//needed during re-populate mode
if (!$formstatus=="submitted" || $frmerr=="retry"){
?>
<form method="POST" action="<? echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>?main_page=infopages&pages_id=<? echo $pages_id;?>">
<input type=hidden name=formstatus value="submitted">

in my handler file (also included) I have this

if(!frmerr){ do whatever I need to do with this info}
else{
<form method="POST" action="<? echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>?main_page=infopages&pages_id=<? echo $pages_id;?>">
<?
 foreach($_POST as $var => $val) {?>
<input type=hidden name=<? echo "$var";?> value="<?echo stripslashes($val);?>" >
<?}?>
<input type=hidden name=frmerr value="retry" >
<input type=submit value="Correct This">
</form>
...}

Obviously you'll have to take care of frmerr (Form error) yourself, and deal with re-populating the fields if you want to prevent someone from needing to retype all their info when they leave one required field blank.

You'll need to replace 'infopages' with 'page' and 'pages_id' with 'id'.

Code carefully, I may have introduced errors when removing personally identifiable information from my code.

This is a great tip. I will use it for sure.

Hi,

We want to be able to use PHP inside our "Main" page, under the "Define Pages Editor", so that when we copy our site to our "test" site, the links to special items change to match that.

What do we have to do, for instance, to change this link to PHP code in the "Main" page?:

http://vtstuff.com/index.php/vt-capital-tree-souvenirs-c-63.html

I want the

http://vtstuff.com

to be changed according to the index location, ie; vtstuff.com vs. vtstuff.com/vtstuffwork

Can anyone tell me what we need to do?

Thanks.

OK, I got something to work to do this in the "Define Pages", but the same code won't work in the EZ Pages. That's OK for now, but it would be nice to be able to do it in an EZ Page

This is solely for the purpose of being able to COPY a site to a WORK area that has direct links to categories or products in the HTML code, so that the domain changes according to the site location.

Here's what I did to show the Product Info Page for an item:

<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . 'index.php/buttermilk-ranch-dressing-marinade-drews-p-441.html'. ' ">' . 'Click here to check out Drews Buttermilk Ranch Dressing & Marinade' . '</a>';?>

Just embed this code into the Define Pages page you're working on, chaning the item link and description sections to your item.

Make sure you enter this in TEXT mode.

Note, our site uses SEO URL's.

If you want your "copy" to contain URLs that are "relative" to your install, regardless of where it is, just create relative links ... don't include the whole domain name ... make your links relative from the start, and you won't have to write custom code to fudge things around.
