Hi,

The Top 5/10/15 links section in the sidebar on the main page... I want to move it to a static page. I did move the code, but the form action is taking back to the main page.

I did change the form action from 'index.php' to 'index.php?custom=yes&TID=custom-top plans'... but even after this change... the form action is taking back to index page.

What changes need to be done to move the whole thing to the static page including the form action.

Here is the static page... www.hostectory.com/index.ph...yes&TID=custom-top%20plans

Thanks in advance

You don't want a static page, static pages are useless. If you want to change the URL, go to Admin -> Settings -> SEO -- or alternatively if you're on Windows IIS you can use this hack.

Hi,

Under the SEO section.. what values do i put in the two boxes...

Example... I want to convert the existing static page www.hostectory.com/index.ph...yes&TID=custom-top%20plans to http://www.hostectory.com/top-plans.php

Similarly, i do have more pages like that to convert.

How can i do that?

Thanks

index.php?custom=yes&TID=custom-top%20plans in the left box, top-plans.php in the right box. For more, one per line as it says there.

Thanks Paul.
I got it working now.

Is it possible to get the {NAVIGATION} work on these pages? How can set that up within admin panel?

Cheers

There's no way to know where you intend a custom page to lie in the navigation, so you need to write the navigation manually.

Paul...

Back to the original problem.
I used your suggestion of SEO and rewriting the url to toplinks.php and chnaged in the tpl from index.php to toplinks.php in teh form action for Top Links.

However, it is still not working fine for all the drop down options like top rated and other option.

Is there anything else i need to change??

Here is the link to my top links page; http://www.hostectory.com/top-plans.php

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

You can't submit a form post to a file that isn't really there. You can submit it to index.php?custom=yes&TID=templatename. Of if the filename is inexplicably important to you, scripts.webmastersite.net/w...template-anywhere-242.html

I created topplans.php with this code...

<?php
/* Supply the path to WSN and the name of your template on the lines as requested */

$pathtowsn = '/path/to/templates/default/custom/'; // as listed on your settings->general configuation page but without the 'attachments/' part

$yourtemplatename = 'topplans.tpl'; // the template, located in the 'custom' subdirectory of your templates directory, that you want to display

$usewrapper = 'yes'; // set to 'no' if you don't want to show the WSN wrapper

$curr_path = getcwd();
chdir($pathtowsn);
require 'start.php';
if (!$template) $template = new template('custom/'. $yourtemplatename);
require 'end.php';
chdir($curr_path);
?>


I also have topplans.tpl in which i have the top plans form action.

But i am getting 404 error.

Thanks for any help

Okay... I moved topplans.php to root folder and it seems to be working.
Could some point your browser to http://www.hostectory.com/topplans.php and observe the same for me please?

Thanks
