I want to create a static page with a fixed URL for terms and conditions (ie: terms.php or terms.html) and some other areas of the site that are not dynamic links per se. I woul also like them to be "inside" WSNlinks so they cary the page layouts, etc. I have looked through the forum and support menus and I am not seeing anything about this, although I may be using the wrong keyword to search.
Click 'Static File Generation' at the bottom of your admin menu. Do you really want a static page though, or just a url for a dynamic page? If the latter use a custom template and write the url you want on the SEO page.
I looked at the Static File Generator and it seemed to me a way to take dynamic content such as a top links (ie: Favorite Downloads) and turn it into a fixed URL. Can I take a text or html file called terms.txt or terms.html and use that in static File Generator?
In my case, I want static content such as my terms and conditions and apply the existing template file to it, since using the existing template file will dynamically update the page without me having to remember to maintain it AND figure out how to get all of the template pieces to fit together.
It doesn't matter to me whether the final output is dynamic or static as long as it is referenced from within WSNLinks to take advantage of all that yummy WSNLinks goodness.

I made a category called "web site info" and put all T&C etc in there. I have added a field called articletext and insert the actual terms in that and have it displayed in the details. I also have a condition that if there is no url then title has a link to the details page.
What you really want to do then is turn something static into something dynamic. If you want to call a file in a (custom?) template, place <?php file_get_contents("yourfile.txt"); ?> in the template.
