How do EZ-Pages work?

When I click on that link, I am asked to log in as admin.
Your syntax is wrong, I believe it includes the zenid.
Look a little earlier in the thread, I gave an example of how to build a working hyperlink.
Later kuroi suggested an alternate method using the built-in ZC function, both work.
In this case, you are linking to a page outside EZ pages, not to an EZ page, so the function won't work.
Just use the example, go to that image in your browser, look at the address bar and leave out your site info and the zen id.
Example:
<a href="index.php?...your image URL" target="blank"> your text or image</a>

Hi there

Thanks for your help, all is working now, i didn't need to use the <a href" html at all when i created the link through the ezpages builder. Can't understand why it wouldn't work the first time.

I want to add Google Analytics code to my EZ pages.
For the define pages it is easy: I just add the code before the </body> tag in the common tpl_main_page.php.
Now, I am looking at the template for EZ pages and there is no </body> tag.
Should I add it before the last </div> tag?
Thanks.

Thanks.The body tag for all pages is in the common/tpl_main_page.php template.

Kuroi,

Thanks for answer, but please clarify.
Are you saying that's all I need?
The body tag in tpl_main_page.php will work in ALL pages, including EZ, which have a different tpl?
Best regards.

PS.
Disregard.
Never mind, the answer is YES.

Is EZ Pages going to be multilanguage as standard in the next ZC release, 1.4?
It is quite strange to have splendidly working language system otherwise but the informational pages are always stuck with the idea of non-perfect multilingual content since the mod has some issues and the multilingual usage is not smooth.

I'm want to use EZ-Pages for my FAQ. My intention was to use internal links to document-general pages.

When I add the internal link, the listing on the EZ-Pages is gone.

http://www.momandbabyboutique.ca/servlet/index.php?main_page=page&id=2&chapter=1

There is supposed to be a listing called Cloth diaper guide. If I remove internal link then the listing shows again.

Any ideas why it is missing? what I should do to fix it.

Thanks,

How do you add php code to an ez-page?

I wan't to put this:

<?php

	require_once("rsslib.php");

	$url = "http://simplefeed.consumerreports.org/rss/?f=96678890-01dc-11dc-3c7e-00001a1a9134";

	echo RSS_Display($url, 100);

?>

into my More Information ez-pages, but haven't found an answer by searching, so, thought I'd ask.:P

How do you add php code to an ez-page?It's explained here. Though personally I see this as a bit of a hack and would recommend building your pages with PHP as proper pages and then add them to your menus as internal links via EZ-Pages

@erinl

I can't see anything wrong with your FAQ (apart from the site being painfully slow to load). Did you fix this already?

kuroi:

Could you point me in the right direction for doing this then(keep in mind, I am NOT a coder)? I think this would be a much better solution, and a much better learning opportunity for me as well.

I decided to forget trying to add php to my ez-page. No one seems to have a viable solution to offer, so, I decided to go with the About Us Page mod and just create a new defines page (unless that's what everyone has been hinting at all along).

I then added a php call inside of my new defines page to the script I wanted to use, and it works just fine. Problem solved. :cool:

Regarding the fix to eliminate your html from wrapping around the TOC.
Copy includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_page_default.php to includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/
Then add this after line 52 (immediately below the last </div>):
<br class="clearBoth" />
The class comes from the main stylesheet.
You can also do: <br clear="both" />
If you implement this fix you won't need to add extra spaces and will achieve a consistent cross-browser look.

I am trying to implement the "correct" way of linking within EZ pages.
So I did:
<a href="<php echo zen_ez_pages_link(15,2); ?>">Read more...</a>
and got a 403 Access Forbidden error on my test site.
Now, when I do my "incorrect" way:
<a href="index.php?main_page=page&id=15&chapter=2">Read more...</a>
it works.
Please explain.
Thanks.

Thanks.The "correct" way of linking to PHP pages is for linking TO them from PHP code. It does more than just create a link. It handles whether the link is to an external or internal page, whether it should be opened in a new window or tab, and whether the page being linked to should be encrypted. This is why it is best practise to use it when possible.

However, EZ-Pages are designed to allow users to insert HTML onto a page not PHP, which is why you need the explicit HTML instead of a PHP function when creating a link ON an EZ-Page.

I don't know if this explains the specific error that you got, but hope that it clarifies why each is the "correct" approach is different contexts.

I am trying to get this to sink in.
Since I am linking from one EZ page to another, I need the explicit HTML, whereas linking from another page, say a define page, would be best achieved using the PHP function, right?

I answered my own question.
However, my answer is still not satisfactory.
I did this from a define page:
<a href="<php echo zen_ez_pages_link(15,2); ?>">Read more...</a>
and am still getting the 403 Access Forbidden error.
I am using the last version of XAMPP to test.
Is there a syntax error there?
Anybody care to explain?
Thanks.

ckosloff:

<a href="<php echo zen_ez_pages_link(15,2); ?>">Read more...</a>Should be

<a href="<?php echo zen_ez_pages_link(15,2); ?>">Read more...</a>

kuroi:

Should be

<a href="<?php echo zen_ez_pages_link(15,2); ?>">Read more...</a>
Kuroi,
Thanks for answer but it didn't work.
Same error.
I'm copying and pasting, so no typo involved.
I appreciate your dedication.

have created ezpage and enabled it to be shown in header footer and side box but cannot see the page/link? any ideas?
