Directory Location for ez-pages added pages

http://www.carlisleco.net/index.php?main_page=page_2

I want each of the states to link to a page for each state listing contact information. I want to create each of these pages with ez-pages and I want them to be editable with ez-pages but I don't know where the pages that ez-pages creates. My thinking is that I can link the <option value=""> to the ezpages created page. Can anyone tell me where the page is created?

Re: Directory Location for ez-pages added pages

EZ-pages are stored in the database.

the link would be something like this:

<a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(3) . '">YOUR_LINK_TEXT</a>'

<form name="replocator"> <SELECT name="replocator" onChange="window.location=document.replocator.replocator.options[document.replocator.replocator.selectedIndex].value"> <option value=". zen_ez_pages_link(3) . '">Alabama <option value=". zen_ez_pages_link(3) . '">Alaska

Would that be the proper syntax?

Re: Directory Location for ez-pages added pages

That looks like it should work.

Remember that COLOR="Red"[/COLOR] should be replaced with whatever id number your EZ-page has.

(3) would be alabama
(4) would be alaska

If you are going to have 50 different pages, don't forget to set the number of EZ-pages allowed:

admin -> configuration - maximum values -> maximum display EZ-pages

Hmm. Doesn't seem to be working. Flags a 404 when I do that.

Doesn't work any way I form the link. Does anyone know how to link to an sql table using html code?

Re: Directory Location for ez-pages added pages

I recently found when trying out ezpages that they need to have a sort order (in sidebox in my case) even though I didn't want them displayed in any of the standard locations. So

<a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(3) . '">YOUR_LINK_TEXT</a>'

inserted in the header nav doesn't function until you give some standard location a sort order (does not need to be enabled); then it works fine.
