How do EZ-Pages work?

[kuroi]

How do I do the Product FAQ example you listed?

I gave that primarily as an example of the ease with which additional content can be added to the product_info page rather than as a specific answer to your question. But here goes:

1. add a table to your database to hold the FAQs
2. create an Admin page to add, edit and delete entries for a particular product ID
3. add an icon to the categories_product_listing page in Admin to call the previously described Admin page using the product ID in a $_GET variable
4. Add a javascript routine to open and close the entries by toggling the divs display styles (there's info about how to add javascript in your site's docs folder)
5. build a module file to extract entries from the database for the current product_info page's products_id
6. build a template module file to display this in a simple HTML (DIV-based) structure
7. Style with CSS for maximum effect.

If you are familiar with these technologies (SQL, HTML, PHP, CSS and javascript) and have a basic understanding of the way in which pages are constructed in the Admin and Catalog, none of this is very difficult. I guess the challenge would be that, unsually, it requires some knowledge of pretty well everything used to build a Zen Cart.

Lets say I want to put a straight link on my main page to a wiring diagram ez page. The link will say Wiring Diagram. Where do I make the link to since ezpages are stored in the database instead of in a file?

Can an EZ-Page contain PHP or must it just be purely (X)HTML? For example, can I code something like:

Please see our
<?php echo zen_ez_pages_link(14, 2); ?>
page for more info.

I suspect that the contents of the EZ-Page is not processed by the PHP interpreter ... but then again I'm probably doing something wrong.

I prepared a super-simple ez-page with the following content:

<p>
There should be three "X"s inside these
parentheses
( <?php echo 'XXX'; ?> ).
</p>

But, alas, the parentheses were empty.

Thus, I guess we can conclude that the contents of an EZ-Page does not get processed by PHP.

Hi,

I really like the ez pages. Made them multilingual and the do the job. I just don´t really like the menu, that goes into the ezpages. I´d rather have the menu in the sidebox. Just like products i´d select the main, then the sub items appear. Like I´d select the main chapter and the subpages (TOC) appear.

Is there a sidebox like that? and an ezpages fileupdate, so the menu won't be in the ezpage itself?

And does anyone know if there is a rss feed for ezpages? (i don't really want to install seperate publication modules, ezpages are just fine :))

Hi,
I've gotten the TOC to work & have my ezpages in my sidebox.
What I would like to do is make the ezpages be my FAQ's.
These aren't FAQ's relating to my site etc, but FAQ's for the products I sell & for generel crafting FAQ's, hints & tips etc.
I also want to be able to add proects etc.
This means I will need to be able to add images to my pages every now & again, so where are the images stored for the ezpages & would I ftp them?
I want to be able to have a main page that contains all the questions for that heading as here

http://www.artyfactsforcrafts.com/fa...barrelfaqs.htm

That means I want a list of questions, each being a hyperlink to the answer page, which in turn opens in it's own window.
That's the way my FAQ's off site work at the moment, but I just haven't been able to work out how to replicate it here.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this please.
I have ezpages working here:

http://www.artyfactsforcrafts.com/ze...php?main_page=

but that site isn't live at the moment.

OOH,OOH,OOH and another thing!
That horrible table of Contents box!
Where can I change that to a list that spreads out as long across the page as needed, rather than being bound by the pxs alloted for that box?
Think that's all, for now lol
