Thanks for the helpful attitude guys ;-) This guy just needed to know how to add the HTML into the site like a lot of people seem to be asking, but not getting the answer. I think such a common task should really be better documented in your support/install notes.

For those of you who would like to know.

To add a new page into your CMPS:

1) Create your page in HTML, either in an external program or if you are smart enough in notepad etc. If you use Frontpage or Dreamweaver they will give you the HTML output once you are finished.

2) Goto the forums admin page and expand the "Styles & Templates" section, then choose "Style Manager". From the style in use (if you have more than one) drop down the menu option and choose "Add New Template".

3) Name the title the name of the page adv_portal_xxx (in this case xxx= download "adv_portal_downloads) and then paste in your HTML content. Make sure you click save at this point.

4) Now goto the vBa CMPS menu, and choose "Add Module"

5) Fill in all the relevant information - Instead of choose a file, type the template name in the "OR Template to Include" section, note you don't need the adv_portal_ just the rest. (in this case downloads). Choose Center Column and display order. Then Save.

6) Now goto "Edit Pages" - By default you should have Default/Homepage. Select that option and remote the tick from the new column you have created (unless you want this to appear on the main page all the time, and not have it as a seperate page. (if you want it on the main page, leave the tick in save and you are done!)

7) Now goto "Add Page" - Put in the page title (in this case downloads) add an identifier and choose the relevant style. Then put ticks in the other modules you want to appear when this page is loaded (for this user I have left all the default modules ticked, but you could remove unwanted modules). Fill in all the other options and save.

8) Now from the "Edit Pages" section go into your newly created page and remove all the other center column modules except the new one (in this case downloads) and then save.

Now when you goto this new page your HTML content will be shown. To get to this page remember the link will be:

http://url/index.php?page=xxx (in this case downloads)

I know I have not been mega details, but I think its enough for the normal user. however if you get stuck and need more then please email me on dgsmith80@hotmail.com and I will gladly help out if I can.

Thanks

Well he was asking how to create a downloads page, which is something he would have to do himself. We can't hold everyone's hand and do everything for them. He didn't say that he wasn't aware of how to add a new page.

I think such a common task should really be better documented in your support/install notes.
You mean something like this? ;)
