Hi,

I posted a question about adding a new page to the top of the menus.  thanks for your responds. 

what i want to do now is create a support page and add it to the site admin editsitepages like home, loggedout, and terms etc....

sofar, i've created a support.php that resides in the same level as about.php.

how do i go about adding to the admin editsitepages as well as displaying it in the footer with the Contact etc

Thanks,

Rene

Hi Rene,

greetings from Germany

Iy you hover over the menustructure you will notice that the page "xxx/mahara/admin/site/pages.php" is called. There would be a good starting point for your investigations.

Would be cool if you share your code modifications with the community?!

Hi,

This is what I got/did sofar.  This works, but I need to figure out one more thing.......give it a try....

1. I changed mysql database 'site_content' and added the 'support'
2. Added the following lines to the mahara/lib/web.lib mahara_standard_nav function
   

        array(
            'path' => 'support',
            'url' => 'support.php',
            'title' => 'Support',
            'weight' => 60,
        ),

        3.  Changed the lines below in mahara/lib/web.lib from:

function site_content_pages() {
    return array('about', 'home', 'loggedouthome', 'privacy', 'termsandconditions', 'uploadcopyright');
}

to

function site_content_pages() {
    return array('about', 'home', 'loggedouthome', 'privacy', 'termsandconditions', 'uploadcopyright', 'support');
}

Below is the support.php code...

<?php

define('INTERNAL', 1);
define('PUBLIC', 1);
require('init.php');
/** define('TITLE', 'support'); **/

$smarty = smarty();
$smarty->assign('page_content', get_site_page_content('support'));
$smarty->assign('heading', 'FAQ');
$smarty->assign('searchform', searchform());
$smarty->display('sitepage.tpl');

?>

WHAT  IS NOT WORKING THE WAY I WANTED TO 

1. whenever i use get_string('support'), it returns [[support/mahara]].....removed the usage....I'm going to look at later on....
2. The pull down menu in edit_site_pages had [[support/admin]],  I'm not sure whether its related to the one mention above...

to fix the string issues, add the following to

lang/en.utf8/{mahara.php,admin.php}

$string['support'] = 'Support';

This should fix the issues i discussed earlier on....
