Example: creating an 'About Us' page

1. Create a file called about.tpl place in templates folder where main.tpl is etc

about.tpl to contain:

Content visible to registered users only.


2. Create a file called about.php, place in root where index.php is etc.

about.php to contain:

Content visible to registered users only.

Notice about.php fetches about.tpl (at the bottom)


3. Call the new page up by placing destination link wherever you want to place it, like this:

Content visible to registered users only.


You can use this template process for any other new pages you wish to create.

I don't see why not. Just make a folder and do the steps posted above. I think it will work

[Fred]

Content visible to registered users only.

Yes but then i need to put the about.tpl in the template folder
i would like to put the about.tpl and the about.php in the about folder
and then have a folder for exampel2 with exampel2.tpl and exampel2.php

I have not tried this, but I would imagine it should work.

Just put your folders in the templates folder. Then in the code for the php file in the root, change the fetch to look like I have it.

Why Did I Get That? I Changed The Codes Like What's Instructed

[Neticus]

@devilishqueen

Try deleting the template files from the /temp/templates folder. It's ok you can do this.

{url no longer in service}

[devilishqueen]

@neticus

[Neticus]

Have you done this in the INSTALL.txt:

Upload the files in the archive to your host.
Change permissions on the following file and four folders to 777
include/config.php
temp/
temp/adodb
temp/cache
temp/templates
If the folders do not exist please create them.

i still got the same error message

[devilishqueen]

ok.. i just changed the permission on the four folders.. so what should i do next?

i just need to get the dir back.. without the error messages... :(

[devilishqueen]

@Neticus

I dont know which one of those u instructed me worked.. but biggie thanks..i dont know how to thank u enough.. :)

I got the dir back working now..

without the changes i made that is..

thank you! thank you!!

so.. can i add changes now again?

[Neticus]

Glad it worked out :)

Yes, you can attempt the changes again. If you get the same error then try clearing your temp/templates folder again.

With regard to the code below, I created a page for submission guidelines, and I had a problem where the name of the directory and link was just showing up as SITE NAME, and there was no title for the page next to it, but fixed it like this:

Instead of this code:

$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('SITE_NAME'), 'TITLE_URL' => DOC_ROOT, 'DESCRIPTION' => '');
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('About'), 'TITLE_URL' => '', 'DESCRIPTION' => _L('About'));


I used this code:


$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L(SITE_NAME), 'TITLE_URL' => DOC_ROOT, 'DESCRIPTION' => SITE_DESC);
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('Submission'), 'TITLE_URL' => '', 'DESCRIPTION' => _L('Submission'));

Then there was no problem showing the site name and page.

Anyone got this to work in a sub-folder?

I am just getting the error: No template(s) available!

This is handy, i just used it to create an About Us page for one of my directories, im sure i can find a number of uses for it, thanks loads, its really helpful.

I'm having the same problem in creating an 'about us' page and an 'articles' page.
This code is not in my topbar.tpl file, so I was just wondering where exactly I might find it?

Cheers,
Jane :)

[listfree]

D'oh!

Just saw it...lol

Thanks anyway guys!

Cheers,
Jane :p

I just stumbled about this page in the forum. But first I looked everythere else on the page. Perhaps it could be useful to make an article out of this thread and put it into the knowledge base??
