Define Pages / EZ Pages

Will this extra step make the page display??? If so, what do i have to do??? just copy and paste this in the Run SQL query on the database? I added a page 5, so i am assuming i have to change it from define page 9 (as you have it) to page 5... is there anything else???

I hate running these queries... they can really mess up your database, so i want to make sure i have everything correct before i take this next step, and i also want to make sure this is what i am missing to make the page display.

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

See the about us module in the downloads section....there is no requirement to manually insert into the DB....The admin performs this for a new sidebox

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

i have given up.... went with EZ pages.... just moved everything over from the information and more information boxes into EZ pages. It is actually REALLY easy to add pages, and everything is in one box for a nice clean look. Also, if you downloaded the mod better categories/ez info you can change the look of the boxes.

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

This is why they are called "EZ Pages" while some might argue this....

Glad you found this to be a solution

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

But EZ Pages can't contain PHP code right?

Doesn't have to for information...but I think that there is a hack for that even

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

I am having a similar problem.
I cloned the About Us pages but I can't get the new page to display the correct content.

I can see the correct header title but I am still seeing the About Us text instead of the Video Announcements that I entered via the admin.

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

About us is not actually a new side box but more instructional on how to add another page to an existing box

It is in the downloads/other area and the first one

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

I give up! I've now been at this same problem for about 5 hours.

I'm having the same problem as the other posters on this thread and I've looked through loads of posts and this one seemed the most helpful. I've been through all the stages at least twice and I've had one small change:
Originally I was getting a 'page cannot be displayed' message on my page 5. Having gone through the stages set out earlier I now have
HEADING_TITLE as my page 5 text. I've tracked this down and can see where it is (although it will probably take me another hour to find it again) but I just don't know what else to do. I can't even get started with EZ Pages.

So please help me somebody because I'm (really) just about to cry. I've got so little time to get this done and I've been working on it for about 12 hours today and have managed to get 1 category uploaded and 1 page of text.

The page I'm trying to edit is called 'test page'
This is what I have https://www.elle-art.co.uk/shop

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

ElleArt,

If you want ezpages these can be in their own sidebox....

Just look in the admion > tools > layout boxes controller > find sideboxes/ezpages.php and set to left or right and select on.

Then go to admin > tools > EZ-Pages > New file > enter a title
select a location - sidebox
Enter your content in the box provided
Select Insert

Also check the settings in admin > config > ezpage settings

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

Kobra, thank you!:hug:

I wasted 5 hours yesterday and your simple instruction has sorted it out in less than 5 minutes.

I kept looking at EZ Pages but nowhere could I find the most basic instruction of how to start.

This is what I have www.elle-art.co.uk/shop

I had the same problem with define pages. It wasn't until I added the override file(s) that the HEADING_TITLE was replaced with what I originally wanted. Why, I'm not sure of. I had followed Kobra instruction listed earlier in this thread to get thing to work at first. Then when I added the overrides, the title started to work. ?????

I have just received 'e-Start your web store with Zen Cart book. I'll be diving into it now and will let you know what I think. Looks like it covers a lot.

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

kobra:

For illustration use the page_2 as a guide
Try starting over and in these areas edit or create what is required changing only the reference to page_2 to page_5...get it to work in that default generic form before you begin changing things like "Zimbabwe Orphans Endeavor'"
Just the straight page_5 references to start.

Create/clone these as page_5
/includes/modules/pages/page_2/header_php.php
/includes/languages/english/page_2.php
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_page_2_default.php

Add/edit these to include page_5
/includes/modules/sideboxes/more_information.php
/includes/languages/english.php
/includes/filenames.php

Create define_page_5.php in both of these folders
/includes/languages/html_includes
/includes/languages/html_includes/your_template

This should net you a generic page_5 in the "More Information" sidebox
You can then begin using this in your overrides areas

Once this works you can move on to custom titles etc - one at a time so you can track back if it breaks

Just follow this kobra's steps but DO NOT change the following;

/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_page_2_default.php

<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS <= 2) { ?>   
  • just remain the code as the Define Pages was actually trigger by their status. Then, change the filenames as you wish.

/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_site_map_default.php

<?php if (DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS <= 1) { ?>
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_2) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2 . '</a>'; ?></li>
<?php } ?>
  • same goes to this code for those who are enabling the site map feature.

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't... YOU ARE RIGHT."
GOOD LUCK !!!

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

I'm having a strange problem with this. I've added my links to the box, the page loads with the heading I set but the text defined in define pages editor does not.
I have define_page_5.php in /includes/languages/english/html_includes and also /includes/languages/english/html_includes/mytemplate (which is being edited by the editor without problems).
So I can only conclude that it's looking in the wrong place for the text or I've messed up a file somewhere.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

Hi all,

i've been trying to follow Kobra's guidelines, but still encountering some troubles, more specific:

my page is showing up, but i do not get to see the content i added through admin>>define pages.....any thoughts?

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

You did not state if you are using one of the default pages??

If so check admin > config > Define Page Status > and the page you are using and insure that it is set to display

And a url to your site is helpful

Re: Define Pages / EZ Pages

I've duplicated the files from page_2 in all the directories you listed in the example, and so tried to create a new page (not in a sidebox).

i can see my page in the define_pages editor (and i can edit the contents here), but i cannot see it in de define_pages_status however.

you can check out the page @: http://compusquare.edarta.be/index.php?main_page=nieuws
