Icy Phoenix

Is it possible to create an extra HTML page using Icy Phoenix, then add a link to it in the main menu (the one that sits at the top and goes:
Home Forum Search FAQ Register Log in)?

I want to create a page about online dangers, and have it show in the top menu no matter which page the user is at, plus link to it in the Olympus-type warnings of some forums.

Could someone tell what code to write and where please?

To edit top menu you have to modify: /templates/mg_themes/overall_header.tpl

Thanks, but for a title 'Online dangers', what code would I need to add?

it's html

Thanks, Zucker, it worked a treat.

Is it possible to create a new page in IP that I can put relevent info in, or must I create a topic with the text in then link to that?

I think that u have to explore the CMS's power
With the new cms , you can do what u want

I can't work out out how to create a new html page. It just changes the layout of existing pages, such as the index page, and the page that lists all your forums.

How can I create a new html page, so I can stick my warnings on it and I can link to it? It can be any layout, I don't mind if it has the side menu or not, or if it is 2 or 3 column or not. Any would do.

Maybe this guide will help you

I've looked at that and it's not very easy to understand.

And it's not easy to explain also
Darkone make a great job with that guide.

Try to add a new page with the cms and play with it

tc1967uk,


You have to create a new portal page. Than an html block with anything you want. Pick up the page id and add the link to the header menu.

That's all.


If you follow the guide linked by Zuker I'm sure you will obtain what you want, but you have to take your time and be patient. Once you have learnt you will see it will be easy


The more help we could do for you now would be making that page for you

Ive created a new 'page', ID 4 below:

ID / Name / Filename / Template


- / Global Blocks
1 / 3 Columns / None / 3_column.tpl
2 / 2 Columns / None / 2_column.tpl
4 / Online dangers / danger / 3_column.tpl

and created a 'block' for it that has the html version of my warning text in it. However, I can't see the page or the block anywhere in the site.

How can I find it so I can link to it please?

I guess it sholud be the page_name.php
-try typing the page name on your browser and see if ti exists.

No luck, it just shows the home page. Any ideas folks?

Thanks Zucker it worked.

This is the basics of what I did. I've not included all fields, as some are intuitive, but this is a general list for us non-techies:

Go into CMS
Click ‘Add site page’
Give it a ‘Filename’ (becomes a .php file in the root directory)

Note:
Central_block.tpl is whole page width (apart from the left menu)
2_columns.tpl has a large and small column the whole page (apart from the left menu)
3_columns.tpl has? (Not tried this one yet.)

Click ‘Submit’
The ID number will give you the URL. E.g. ID 6 would be http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=6
Now go into the ‘Page’ you’ve made and create a ‘Block’
Give it a title – this is what will appear at the top of the page if you choose Yes for ‘Show titlebar’

If central_block.tpl has been chosen, then only the ‘centre’ position option is available
2_columns.tpl gives you Left ; Centre ; News (Centre) ; Navigation Bar ; Bottom / Center
3_columns.tpl gives you Left ; Centre ; Right ; News (Centre) ; Navigation Bar ; Bottom / Center

Click ‘Submit’
Create your text. I used HTML rather than BBCode.
‘Click Submit’


So basically:
Create a site page and what layout options it will have (2 column, 3 column etc). It will get an ID number
Then add as many blocks to it as you need (something for the centre perhaps, the left or right columns etc).
Add Text / HTML or even blocks that come with IP, such as Paypal, Wordgraph or Shoutbox

Thanks again.

thanks for the hints

Very Thanks!!! It's very cool!

I'd hoped a condensed version would be helpful to the rest of us.

Moved to Docs.

Thanks tc1967uk.
