How do EZ-Pages work?

ginginca:

But can I NAME the pages whatever I want to?That depends what you mean by name. You can give them whatever title you would like, and that would also show up as the link name for them. However, EZ-Pages aren't separate files - they're stored in in your database and served like CMS pages, so there is no file to name (for example) filename.php.

Ah ... I see.

So then the best way to do this would be to use my index.php as a template and rename it to filename.php with the new content in the main center box.

Then use EZpages to get it into the system, and use that MOD to get it into the site map?

Or is there a way to add more pages into the list that comes up in the define pages editor in admin? That might work better.

(I don't want to create unncessary work of course.)

Ajeh:

EZ-Pages has its own line for the links ...

Kill the line and kill the links ...

I tried this and the ez-pages link still aren't showing up in the header. Do I need to add them to the header.php file? If so, what do I use for a page name? The title of the page with blank spaces between words, put underscores in between words? i.e. About Us vs. About_us.

Also since they are not real pages, but instead stored in the db would they even be found?

I did think that the EZ Pages were the best thing in the newer versions, however it's a nightmare trying to figure out how to link them in places other than their original designated header, footer and sidebox.

Even in the sideboxes, I'm trying to keep like documents in the same sidebox, yet I can't find/figure out how to put an ez page link in the information sidebox. So that leaves me with the ez-pages sidebox with a variety of unrelated links.

Am I just missing something in the directions someplace, and placement is easier than it has been for me?

Please don't misunderstand me, I still think Zencart is the superior cart both in the free and commercial product fields.

I am just really really frustrated with myself in trying to get the ez page links where I need them.

thank you,

betty

:bangin:

EZpages can enter into header web, if is not ezpage, that is sidebox. can catalog box, special box,.... enter into header web? how do?

how do you get the pages to show up? I want to add a page to the sidebox and I went to tools and did everything there and inserted but nothing shows up... I also went to configuration, ezpages and everything seems to be set to 1. I dont understand why it wont show up...

help..

Do you have the EZ-Page marked for the Sidebox? Not marked for the Sidebox, No Display ...

Do you have the Sort Order set for the EZ-Page that you created? No Sort Order, No Display ...

Are any Sidebox links showing for your EZ-Pages? If not, what are your settings under Configuration ... EZ-Pages Settings ... are they turned on?

I did not have the order, so it did not display anything.. thanks for helping! It works fine now.

Thanks for the update that the Sort Order on EZ-Pages also works as an enable/disable and must have a value in order to show ... :smile:

Hey! I had a hard time figuring it out too. It turned out to be far easier than I expected.

First, in the admin, go to Tools-> EZ-Pages

Open a new file.

Decide where you want the page to be linked from, in the side boxes, header, footer, etc. and click yes/no button for each.

Put any html content in the big box.

Click 'insert'

Poof! it is done!

I hope that helps

Ok, I tried that and it ain't happening. Any ideas?
I need a page with reciprocal (whatever the word is) links to sites that have a link to mine.

Thanks.

The more I learn about EZ-Pages, the more I like it. I just learned how to do the table of contents today, that's slick! This never showed up until I put chapter no. all the same for related pages, and then the order for pages, very simple, now that I done it.

Now I see it puts a - Previous Continue Next buttons at the top.
Is there a way to also put them at the bottom of the page? or is that code work?

I think it would make multi page articles a little less scrolly up. (is that a word?) I had already made my own prev. and next links at the bottom.

Is there a size limitation to EZ-Pages? I'm hoping to move some static HTML pages into EZ-Pages. First one worked fine, see here: http://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=2

Second one cut off the last paragraph of html. Have I hit a 64K limit or something?

Thanks,

That would be a limitation on the field type ...

Might wish to try the Medium blob vs text ... :smile:

Grazie!

Hi,

I would like to add a How To Buy information using Ezpage. The How To Buy info consists of two pages: HTB_A.php and HTB_B.php, where HTB_A.php has a link to HTB_B.php, via Internal URL.

My question is, how can i set an INTERNAL URL for HTB_B?
I try to add a new define in /includes/filename.php, and a URL <a href> in HTB_A to this link. But clicking on link in HTB_A links me to Page not found.:schmoll:

Are your how to buy pages EZ-Pages (i.e. stored in the database) or actual php scripts that you have written outside of Zen Cart?

Hi Kuroi,

It's actual php scripts that are written outside of Zen Cart.

Regards,
Jo

I've read all 8 pages and still can't get my EZ pages to work,:cry:

I done the tools--> EZ Pages and set up the pages all set to -->Header: Sidebox: Footer: on. The Chapter set to 1 and the TOC 10,20,30 repectively

Configuration-->EZ-Pages Settings all set to 1

Maxium Values set to default

Still nothing, Have I flicked some switch that just won't make the pages happen?

http://quirkesfurniture.com/shop/

<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<li><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?></li>
<?php } ?>

Is the above in your template's tpl_footer.php?

What are your Sort Orders? 0 means OFF ...

Thanks, I've worked it out where I was going wrong

I'll be buying you a large cup of coffee!
