Adding New Link From Main.Html To New Page?

#1 Postby shareitall » Sep 15, 2011 3:55 pm

Hi,

I have created an Report Abuse page named report.html and would like to link it from the main.html.

I have found where the link should be in the main.html and I am not sure where and how it should be done in the index.cgi file.

<a href="<TMPL_VAR site_url>/links.html"><TMPL_VAR lang_links></a> |
<a href="<TMPL_VAR site_url>/contact.html"><TMPL_VAR lang_contact_us></a> |
<a href="<TMPL_VAR site_url>/report.html"><TMPL_VAR lang_??????></a>

What code and where do I add in the index.cgi file?

I searched and found this thread but it didn't give me much details on where and how...

Thanks for your help!

You don't need to edit index.cgi for this
you can just edit templates/main.html and add

Code: Select all

|
<a href="http://www.sitename.com/report.html">Report abuse</a> 
If you want to do it neatly, edit the language files in cgi bin..

That's what I ended up doing and it works perfectly!

Thanks for the assistance!

I've been trying to add this to the knowledgebase, but I keep getting SQL error when I try to add articles.

You first need to modify your .htaccess file rules. Add this (given you made a page in /cgi-bin/Templates/pages/english/)

RewriteRule ^report\.html$ /cgi-bin/index.cgi?op=report [L]

that makes it so you can link to sitename.com/report.html

at the moment you will only be able to find it by going to sitename.com/pages/report.html

done and done

@Jesse202 ,
I have little more evolved problem . How to add .php page to the main.html one ?
Tryed with the htaccess editing (on both rewrite rules for /pages/file and tmpl section , but it just doesnt want to accept php as file , it doesnt give even error , just returning the users to the home page.

Hello randy ,
I prefer to keep the name of my website private :)
But as for the code on the site , its basic XFS pro , with minor changes to templates and few other cgi stuff.
But if you have an idea about how to add .php page to the main one , i`ll be happy to test it out :)
