Adding a blank page

[NewBudda]

I am new to this but have made a successful installation with a few modifications

 

(www.wurmwelten.de/os1/). I find this framework really interesting, there is still one thing

 

that I just dont get.

How Do I add a "Blank" page? I know a lot of html but as of yet hardlly any php. So I would

 

like to add some html pages with additional info about the prodcuts and maybe a FAQ.

How do I accomplish these new pages manually or even better with an editor like the one

Wordpress or even this forum has. I have tried to install FCKeditor but only get a funny error message...

I am sure I am not the first one who wants to add non-product pages, but except for

 

FCKeditor I was unable to find a contribution.

Have you accomplished this and how?

 

I have PHP 4.4, MySQL and apache with OS Merchant 2.2rc1

 

PS: How can I change the button for the newsletter at the bootom right? The linked graphic

 

is there, its just not displayed...

 

Thank you in advance for any help!

The Knowledge Base has some tips on how to add new pages. I would look there.

 

:thumbsup: Also, if you have a good solid knowledge of HTML but not PHP, I would strongly suggest the Simple Template System v4.5.8. STS will allow you to add new pages with ease as well as design the existing osC pages any way you desire using HTML.

 

Have fun,

I have tried STS but couldnt install it :(

 

I am happy to learn more php so I did not try that hard. I just dont want to spent 4 hours installing something only to get html out of it. I rather spent that time installing an editor which will make it easier to add text in the future...

Is there an alternative to FCKeditor that anyone has actually installed? I cant get support for FCKedit...

The Simple Template System takes 5 minutes tops to install and definitely gives you more than just html (not really sure what you meant by that). STS allows you to use all of the osC functions anywhere you want them giving you complete control over the design of osC.

 

TinyMCE would ge a great addon if you are wanting to go that route.

Ok i will STS another shot. Still, that has not answered my original question:

Is there a contribution or editor which lets me add a new, non-product page?

[NewBudda]

Could I not just add a

define('TEXT_MAIN' and make it define('TEXT_MAIN_NEWTEXT'

 

in the index.php and then create a file where I call text_main_new instead of just main.

 

Does that make sense?

Hello Philip,

I'm not trying to push STS on you. I could really care less if you use it or not. I know it will make life easy for you regarding adding a new page but that is just my two cents.

 

For a non-sts solution, you could try the following contributions:

Extra Pages Info Box

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2021

 

And one of my personal favorites: Page Editor with Admin

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2841

 

Also, take a look at the following Knowledge Base tutorial on adding new pages to your shop:

Hope this helped you out,

I know this is from some time ago but ive been having a look around and im wondering if anyone has looked at incorporating STS with an online editor in the admin?

 

I have a client who wants to use osCommerce as a CMS as well as a shop all in one and i had figured that there may be a way to achieve this

 

if i was to re-code the Page Editor with Admin module to that it utilised categories and subcategories how hard do you think it would be to incorporate it with STS so that specific category and sub category pages could work?

 

my idea was to leave the product info pages in place but allow creation and editing of pages for each category and subcategory

 

i dont know if thats going a bit skewwiff in the whole scheme of things or not but want to get an idea of what people think or if theres an easier way of doing it, short of manually creating pages and ising sts templates for them....
