Custom Pages

Four custom pages are defined in the installation. You will most likely wish to customize these pages to fit your site.

This page allows you to add custom pages to your site. These pages may not contain php code, only HTML and plain text. Four custom pages are defined for you during the installation.

  • help - A help page for visitors.

  • tos - Terms of Service. This page is displayed on the registration page.

  • rules - Submission Rules. This page is displayed at the top of the story submission form and is also linked to the default help page.

  • maintenance - Maintenance Message. This is the message that is displayed to visitors when you place your site into maintenance mode.

To add a custom page:

  1. Goto Admin -> Custom Pages

  2. Click on "Add New Custom Page"

  3. Enter the name of the page in the form. Note: The name for your page should contain letters, numbers, and the underscore character ONLY.

  4. Enter the title for the page. The page title will also be the text of the link to the page in the page links.

  5. Enter the text of your page.

  6. Click the "Submit" button.

The name you assign to your custom page will be the {NAME_link} variable for you to use in your skins. The script will append "_link" to the name to help prevent naming conflicts with other variables. The title will be the title of the page. For the URL of your custom page, you may use either viewpage.php?id=ID or viewpage.php?page=NAME where ID is the ID number of the page or NAME is the name of the page.

Note: The name for your page should contain letters, numbers, and the underscore character ONLY.
