Link automatically added to navigation block

[Brettmo]

Let me say that this is exactly what I was thinking that I needed for the last several weeks, so thanks for the update.

I tried making a new page: russophile.com/?page=thread

Once created, it added that link "Thread Template" to my site navigation block automatically on the home page. I cannot find it in the navigation block configuration to remove it and it is a bad link on top of that. (The text of the link matches the name that I entered for the above page so I know that they are related.)

Additionally, I think that I am misunderstanding how to use this new functionality. I tried adding that custom page to my FAQ as a good place to test. The FAQ disappeared entirely and now looks exactly like: russophile.com/?page=thread How do I make those components appear to the left of my FAQ information instead of replace the page?

Thanks.

Edit the settings for your Site Navigation module and you will see an option for "Pages to Exclude" there.

How exactly did you try integrating it? Does the page you used have the "Custom Page Content" module enabled on it?

Thank you.

By default it is not enabled. I tried to create a new page and again it is inactive. When I go to edit modules the Custom Page Content module is not listed for me to be able to activate.

You won't see the Custom Page Content module in your module list anymore since there's really nothing that can be changed with it, and some people seemed to be confused by that in previous versions. You will see it listed when you edit a page though, and it has to be active on that page if you plan to integrate it with your forums.

How do I activate the Custom Page Content module if it is inactive by default on the page?

[Brian]

Scroll to the Inactive Modules section, and select the colum to activate it in with the "Move to" select box.

[Brettmo]

It is listed in the center section, but it is inactive. See attachment... Thanks.

[Brian]

Huh, I'm guessing you set that module as inactive when you were running a 2.x version? Try running this query through your Admin CP or PHPmyAdmin and it should fix the problem.

UPDATE adv_modules SET active = 1 WHERE inctype = 'custom'

[Brettmo]

I don't remember doing that but it is possible. I ran that query and the module is no longer listed as inactive in the page where I took the above screenshot. However, the FAQ still does not show the content. See russophile.com/faq.php

[Brettmo]

Sorry to bump this Brian, but can you take a look at this? The content is still not displaying in my FAQ page despite custom module now being active. As soon as I get this working, I am planning on turning this on site wide. Thank you.

[Brian]

Try saving one of your modules and then that page through the Admin CP to make sure that the cache and such for each has been updated. If that still doesn't help, please submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here and I'll have a look at things for you.

[Brettmo]

I found the fix now: I remade the page from scratch and that fixed the issue now that the custom page content module is turned on thanks to your SQL statement.

I have another issue but I will start a new post since it looks like an entirely different issue.

Thank you.
