cmps_index.php and articles.php

[RSimpson]

Hi folks,

I want to have cmps_index.php work as normal but I'd like to make a copy of it and call it articles.php, I would like this file to pick up another page, how would I go about this without using a request query?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)


Cheers,
Robert

Just copy the file, rename it, and then look for this line in the new file:

define('VBA_PAGE', 'articles');

Then create a new page with an identifier of 'articles', and set the options on that page as you wish. :)

Hmmm, that line didn't appear in the file, here's the contents:<?php

require_once('./global.php');

print_portal_output($home);

?>Did you mean to add the line?

That must've been it, got it now :)

With this new file can I still use ?variable=pagename to load pagename or will that variable be defined by define('VBA_PAGE', 'articles');?

Seemingly not, but I worked my way around it using this:if(!$action) {define('VBA_PAGE', 'articles');}Is there any way I can have the file pick up the name of the variable I'm using for the request query?
