Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Have you created and activated a custom template? If so, you need to make
copies of the define pages you intend to customize, and place in your
includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_custom_template folder.

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

I used the Classic Zen template, but then added the extra colours download and then tweaked it to make it suit.

In the other thread, both of the define_main_page.php are in the right position.. I am sorry, but I am so new to this. There is no custom template within includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_custom_template folder. Do I need to create one?

Had to find the d/l and take a peek. Yes, if you have chosen one of the
colors from the d/l pkg, it is a custom template. So, if you have chosen
pink, pink is your template name, and you'd need a folder in includes/languages/english/html_includes/pink with copies of your
define pages that you intend to customize.

Take a little time to familiarize yourself with the template overrides system by searching the FAQ/Tutorials for "template overrides". :yes:

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Ok, I am having a new problem...

I have just changed page 3 in my more information box to say Links. In Admin/Tools/Define_Page_3 I have added text but it does not show on the actual page. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Did you upload the file to your custom template folder in
includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom?

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

You may need to change permissions on the file (CHMOD) before you can
edit it. When you open the file in Define Pages Editor, is there a message
above the edit box telling you what file you're in? If you need to change
permissions it should say there. Usually has a pink-ish background color.

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Above the edit box, it says:

Editing file:
(FTPUsername)public_html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/black/define_page_3.php

And it says in the .php file exactly what I want it to say on the actual page:

<p>If you would like to add your link to this site in exchange for adding ours to your site, please <a [email protected]?subject=Please%20Add%20My%Link>Email Us</a> and one of our staff members will review your application and get back to you as soon as possible.</p>

Which also is exactly what is written in the admin/tools/define pages/define page 3. I just dont get why it is not working? I can alter every other page in the define pages in admin fine.

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Check in the directory:
/includes/languages/english/html_includes

do you have a file for:
define_page_3.php

Are all the files in the;
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/black

set to 777 so you can edit them?

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Yes and yes. I can edit any of the other pages through admin - just not page 3. It wont allow me to show any text that I am writing at all.

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

I am still having this issue. I can change the text through includes/languages/english/html_includes/black/Define page 3 and upload it via ftp. It shows in admin/tools/define pages - but not on the site?! Why is this not working?? It works for every other page.

Re: Define Main Page - can't find it?

Oh my freakin GAWD!! I finally figured this out..... I am so DAFT!

Admin/Configuration/Define Page Status - Define Page_3 was set at 0 instead of 1.
