Define Pages Generator addon - Support

[yellow1912]

These are the errors



Notice: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to int in /xxxxxx/xxxxxx/public_html/final/includes/application_bottom.php on line 16

Which has nothing to do with this module.

Hey when I go to use this tool I get this messsage that pops up....

Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission, contact your system administrator, or use the Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration tool.

If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Request for the permission of type
'System.Security.Permissions.FilelOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.9, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c671934e089

Does any one now how to fix this?

You install .net framework which can be found on microsoft page.

Hi I just wanted to say how great I think this program is. I've been unsure for a while whether to use Define Pages or E-Z Pages for a particular project where by many extra pages will be needed. I really wanted to avoid E-Z Pages because of their meaningless URLs but was always put off by the complexity of the Define Pages. This contribution solves this problem.

This generator is amazing. I was sitting here forever individually changing names. Only problem is the new pages aren't showing up in Configuration-->Define Page Status and they also aren't showing up in my Information Sidebox. I did alter the information.php file to include my new pages.

[Steven300]

the new pages aren't showing up in Configuration-->Define Page Status

Check to make sure the file is in both of these locations:

includes/languages/english/html_includes

and

includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_template

Sorry I thought you said Define Pages Editor.

I don't think they're supposed to appear under Define Page Status.

Oh well then I guess everything is perfect! One thing though, is my zenID supposed to be showing in every link to the new Defines Pages?

About
Define Pages Generator isn't exactly a zencart module, you would probably call it a meta-module, it is a small Windows application that makes it really easy to make new "define pages."

All you need to do is specify the name you want to give your page, the name of your current template and a directory to build the directory / file structure in and it does the rest. This directory structure can then be copied over to a zencart installation to make the define page accessible.


Motivation
Making a new define page seems to be a really fiddly task. However these pages are pretty useful, since unlike ezpages they don't get stored in the database, so they are easier to develop (ie you can use Dreamweaver). With a few simple tweeks, it is quite straight forward to give them a menu structure (ie pretend to nest one inside the other so the breadcrumb shows home:arent::child::....) and you can use php inside the pages which I don't think you can do with ezpages.


Acknowledgements
The code it generates is based on the "About Us" module, which seems to be the main resource for working out how to build a new define page.


Download
The Application can be downloaded from: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=804


Important
NOTE: It only runs under Windows and although I am a Linux user there is little likelihood of me porting it over. You need to have the .NET 2.0 framework to run it, you can get this from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

If you have a question about how to use the application, or you find a bug please let me know.

I just used the define pages generator and uploaded the files to my server, and all seems well - accept...

when I go to define pages editor, I can pull up the page, enter the text, which right now I have 'coming soon'

but when I type the URL in to the browser, only a blank page comes up...
http://www.1999-or-less.com/index.php?main_page=faq
I know it must be there, because the 'page not found' doesn't come up, like if you typed in http://www.1999-or-less.com/index.ph..._page=fakepage (page not found because it don't exist)

so my problem is, how do I get the text I type in the define pages editor (ie coming soon) to appear on the page:
http://www.1999-or-less.com/index.php?main_page=faq

thanks

ok, i've beaten my head over this, and I just can't figure out how to get my NEW page from the generator to show up on the site, in the sidebox on the right that says, Additional Information, and instead of page 2, page 3, etc. www.div8hardware.com
I've created a page called "define_lock_functions.php", and it IS showing up under the TOOLS>DEFINE PAGES EDITOR, and yes i can edit THAT. It is NOT showing up on CONFIG>DEFINE PAGE STATUS. How do I get this to show up?
Also, can anyone tell me how to change the name of the pages that show up on that sidebox?

Pages will not show up in CONFIG>DPS. To change the name of the side box, find the php file. I don't do sideboxes but I wanted to put them in the header, I just had to find the tpl_header.php file to change the link in the header. I added this to the php file:
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US, '' ) . '">About Us</a>'; ?></li>
where the red text is the name that appears in the header.
