GO-TOTAL LLC had everyone in mind when GTCustom Pageswas created.
Custom pages can now be created with little or no coding knowledge.
If you know how to create a phrase within ADMINCP / LANGUAGES then you can create custom pages with ease.
First Download and install product and...
Let's Create A Custom "About Us" Page:
In your favorite editor, create the contents of the page. HTML is allowed.
When you finish with the contents of the page, create 2 phrases (an optional subtitle is available).
"gtcustom_about_header" - title of custom page
"gtcustom_about" - contents of custom page
"gtcustom_about_subtitle" -optional subtitle for custom page; the subtitle (table cell) will only display if it's created
That's it! Now, go visit the page via URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=about
NOTE:
- Replace bold text with your choice of name. Follow naming convention as described above or the pages will not display.
- All 'xxx_header' phrases should be added to GLOBAL phrase group. (Needs to be global to display in navbar, etc.)
- All other phrases are required to be in GTCustom Pages phrase group. (If it's not here, cutom page will not work.) Tips:
URL looks good with mod-rewrite enabled.
For example, $vboptions[bburl]/goto/section/about, $vboptions[bburl]/goto_section_about.html
Use short names to prevent mod-rewrite (SEO links) problems. (It really depends on your setup. For example, some SEO scripts will convert every '_' into '/'. Which will prevent custom page from being displayed.)
Examples:
about - (GOOD)
terms - (GOOD)
privacy - (GOOD)
about_us - (BAD)
terms_of_service - (BAD)
privacy_policy - (BAD)
Examples Included With Product:
About Us Custom Page - phrases: gtcustom_about_header, gtcustom_about
URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=about
Terms Of Service Custom Page - phrases: gtcustom_terms_header, gtcustom_terms
URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=terms

Hi PRINCETON - Fabulous Fabulous vB hack. I am soooo loving this one - I do have a question/issue about the layout. I think in vBadvanced there's an option to either Use Module Shell Template or NO!
My choice would be to not have the page in a "box" - so to speak - I would like to have the custom page aligned in the middle of the page, rather than in the Module shell - Is there anyway to accomplish this?
You'll notice how the alignment of the store is off a bit... The inline frame code is from Amazon directly (also the html for my gtcustom_shop phrase) and is as follows:
Can you please help me to fix this code to where the the custom-shell-like box is removed and the Amazon store can sit right in the middle of the http://www.jpicforum.info/goto.php?section=shop page ------> I will surely appreciate your help!
ALSO thanx for providing this nice piece of mod/hack work - Very nice indeed
hey PRINCETON - just threwup a gallon of tainted beer - so trust me - I totally used to "no wrapper" :P ------ OK OK OK - more than enough info etcetera...
