How do EZ-Pages work?

[ckosloff]

Ok, i am really confused here how to use EZ Pages and for waht. I have seen that tutotial but it does not clarify it for me. It just might be me (https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...no&article=117)

What I want to do is just create a page like an "About Us."

I tried playing around with it but I am not sure what the naming convention is for the link. is it just the page title? I created a page but it keeps coming up as not found.

sorry for the newbie q.

Enter the keywords for what you are looking for in the Software add-ons section.
There are plenty of mods for adding pages there.
You don't use EZ pages for that, they are useful for building linked pages and chapters.

I set up a "contact us" page as an EZ page, but I don't know how to link it to my e-mail address.
Also, does anybody know about how to link the shopping cart to the merchant services gateway?

Sorry to say, but this is another example of incorrect use of EZ pages.
There is a ready-made Contact Us page in Zen Cart out-of-the-box.
Why not use that one?
Depending on what payment gateway you are using you have to install the corresponding module.
Look in Admin --> Modules --> Payment.
If you can't find it there, chances are that there are extra modules in the add-ons section.

Sorry, I did not express myself right. I did not set it up as an EZ page, I just defined the page using the define page editor(greetings and stuff). However, I still can't get the "contact us" info e-mailed to where I want it to go. Any suggestions?

Please don't clog up this EZ-Pages thread with unrelated questions.

I have searched far and long for this. I know I can count on the forum to help.

I am editing ezpages, however, when I try to use an external or internal link, I lose my TOC and nothing shows. The link I am trying to use works fine when I put it in the HTML section (and the TOC shows up when I do that too). I must have a setting wrong I can't find. I have read and tried about everything and this forum is my last resort. PLEASE can anyone help?

Hmm...that mod. is for users building a site with lots of HTML, not so much emphasis on products, therefore not the main target of Zen Cart.
Seems to me that something is malfunctioning on EZ pages setup, don't know exactly what, you will have to check all your files to see if something's missing.
Links should work fine, look earlier in the thread for a discussion about links in EZ pages between Kuroi and myself.

Please note that a TOC works only inside a chapter.

If you want to create an ezpage, then you want to give it a name like contact-us for example, Simple SEO Url can certainly help you do that (only version 3+ supports that)

For example, I can create an ezpage and the use link-alias to change it to:
site.com/whatever-i-want-here
