Easy Pages
Ever wanted to a quick and effective way to add pages? This is your answer :) Easily add pages to your website, and manage your pages quick and easily. Your existing pages are stored in admincp for easy access, and provided with a link directly to the page.
Keeping this basic for now as a light, but if enough feature requests come along I'll see if i decide to go somewhere else with this o_0

Hrm, not a bad idea. Are all the page URLs named easy_pages or is that just in the demo?

:up: That's the name of the file itself, which grabs the pages

Hi, Just what I've been looking for. Just a note: In your download file the admin folder needs renaming to admincp.
Thanks once again

I've uploaded the files and imported the file that's needed. However I can't seem to locate it in the Admin CP. Any ideas on why I can't seem to find it? Thanks!

Hm, an "easy pages" section isn't applied to your admincp? Sure you uploaded the file in the includes folder?

The only thing different is that instead of having an admincp, I renamed it to primarycp when I first install vbulletin. Other than that, everything is uploaded. :)

Permissions aren't possibly at the moment, the pages are available to the public. However, they are only truly accessible if you link them, since no one can predict your pages :p

Does this automatically create a link to the new page in the navbar? If so, then there should be an option to disable this, or perhaps an option to designate where the link will appear. I may create a page that I don't want crowding the navbar, so I'll stick it in QuickLinks or something. Just a question and idea. Good job, though. This will come in very handy for my forums.

just a quick one... if you want your pages to be valid ( well, in the easy_pages area ) go into the templates
AdminCp / vBulletin Options / Edit Templates / Easy_Pages
and replace all the contents with this
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $page[title]</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<if condition="$page[table_wrap]">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$page[title]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
</if>
$page[content]
<if condition="$page[table_wrap]">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Yes there is and it's very easy
It requires creating both a .php page and a template to call the page.

Actually it's free to change the name of the file. It will link the same way, but just with whatever filename you give it.
There's currently no premium version available, not sure if someone made the impression that there was. I might actually do another light release before even considering one.

That would require additional php in the file, along with a conditional in order to make sure it only shows on a certain pageid.

I installed this product over a year ago starting with installing it on vBulletin v 3.7.1 all the way up to 3.8.4 PL2. works great for what it is and very useful to add some quick goods to your site. However I have always had the same issue with it. Once you have created a page clicking delete the page is not removed.
Link for Edit page: http://*******/admincp/golinks_admin.php?do=edit&pageid=11
Link for Delete: http://*********/admincp/golinks_admin.php?do=delete&pageid=
there should be a pageid inserted a the end of the delete link but it's blank
looking in the golinks_admin.php file I have this
<script>
function delete_page(pageid){
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this page?")){
location = "golinks_admin.php?do=delete_page&pageid=" + pageid;
}
}
</script>
// Are you going to edit or delete? Hurry and make a decision, i'm running out of ideas here!
$cell[2] .= "\n\t<a href=\"golinks_admin.php?do=edit&pageid=" . $page[pageid] . "\">Edit Page</a> - <a href=\"golinks_admin.php?do=delete&pageid=\" \">Delete</a>";
I was able to get the pageid to append to the link by removing onclick=\"delete_page($page[pageid])
replacing it with
" . $page[pageid] .but page still does not delete.

01-23-2010, 12:29 AM
Surely usergroup permissions can be inserted with a php conditional?
You can do that with Logician's Webtemplates and this looks similar. If all the standard VB page header is there then conditionals should work.
Someone try out a conditional and post here if it works?

Edit: One problem I've noticed is that when someone goes into an Easy Page, it shows up in the "Whos On-Line" as:
Unknown Location
/easy_pages.php?p=xxxx
That's pretty dangerous from a security point of view, as it broadcasts to everyone the page location. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Perhaps I'm missing your point, but is that not the point that everyone here who might install this should be aware of?

Well, unless you trying to do something wholly different from what this mod intends, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want people to know the URL to the page. How else would they get to it?

Ok, now I'm really confused.... :confused:
I think it might be me misinterpreting your orignal point.... ;)
If so, my apologies ... :o
We don't have a problem with it as the only way we use it is to get to a page for our on-line "live" help system for operators to login for support. It's useless for anyone who doesn't have a login name and password to get past that point anyway. We ONLY provide our moderators with the link to this page and don't use it for anything else, so it's not part of our regular web site for members.
I guess what I was saying was that the for anyone who was expecting any kind of permissions or access control in whatever they put on that page, it isn't get going to happen with this particular mod, as the page iappears in the clear on the "Who is On-line" page and can be clicked on there.

I think I understand what your doing with it. In your case, it would be a security issue, if for some reason you didn't want people to know where the page was, other than a select few. The mod, however, is merely a very basic way to create additional pages. I haven't tried template conditionals, since I eventually decided to create pages the "hard" way without this mod. But you could probably give that a try and see if it works. Alternatively, you could create a plugin that displays the content you want, the way you want it on Who's Online. You'd have to search the Articles section on how to create one of those.

I have downloaded something called "WebTemplates" and am also having a look at that.
Darn site has grown of the last 4 years to over 10,000 members and I'm now looking to find a really good "fee for service" vBulletin coder/support person to help with some of this kind of evolutionary development needs.

I hope someone can help you Angeljs.. Because Gio doesn't seem to be supporting his mods.. I purchased a modification of his 2 days ago and can't get it to work on my forum so I am out that money..
Me too :(

This is great, but how about the ability for them to comment ?
I'm trying to find a way to add content pages that aren't part of the main forum but do still allow VB commenting..
