... look, this app probably isn't worth what I'm charging. Just go buy IP.Pages, it's like 20x better.

 

Author note 2018-10: Support and maintenance will be limited going forward. This app works fine as of IPS 4.3 and may continue to work with new releases in the future, but when it stops working that's probably it. Thanks for your support over the years!

 

Want to add custom pages to your IPS website? Easy Pages is a simple and powerful app to help you do that, from the comfort of your own Admin CP.

There are no fancy wizards or long pages of settings. Just enter a title and URL, some text, and you're good to go. You don't even have to know HTML or PHP (but you can use them if you want to!).

Use it to add a Privacy Policy, or rules, or a FAQ. You could even build an entire website. The only limit is your own creativity.

Some of the features of this application:

• Create custom pages using BBCode, PHP, HTML, or IPS's Rich-Text Editor.
• Place each page within your IPS Theme, or build a complete page from the ground up.
• Choose your own page URL and meta tags for SEO.
• Control who can access a page with group permissions.
• Use 'blocks' of text or even PHP to avoid repeating code across multiple pages.
• Place blocks in pages, or anywhere on your site. Even posts!

This application provides an easy way to create and view pages. However, it does not handle navigation. You will need to add links to the pages in the navigation bar or elsewhere yourself.

This version of Easy Pages requires IPS 4. Installation is as simple as running the IPS app installer.

Sorry for making review with support request... Anyway I marked 5, hope it is Ok.
Two issues for the moment:
1. How to handle

<?php include 'page.php'; ?>

 to make it work.
2. While working with some datables.net example code I get main object undefined when using IPS template. Separately code is running normal.
Here is the code:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.2/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf8"></script>
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/tabletools/2.2.3/js/dataTables.tableTools.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" class="init">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable( {
        "ajax": "data.txt"
    } );
} );
</script>

<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Position</th>
                <th>Office</th>
                <th>Extn.</th>
                <th>Start date</th>
                <th>Salary</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
 
        <tfoot>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Position</th>
                <th>Office</th>
                <th>Extn.</th>
                <th>Start date</th>
                <th>Salary</th>
            </tr>
        </tfoot>
    </table>

​Reviews and support requests aren't really connected, but okay. I'm at work right now. I'll look at both of these and have an answer for you tonight.

Thanks!

Sorry for making review with support request... Anyway I marked 5, hope it is Ok.
Two issues for the moment:

​I was able to get both of these working on my install. The include worked for me right away. The JS took a little effort.

Here's what I have:

Page:

Settings:

Code:

<?php include 'page.php'; ?>

<hr style="margin:20px" />

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.2/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf8"></script>
<script src="//cdn.datatables.net/tabletools/2.2.3/js/dataTables.tableTools.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" class="init">
(function($) {
  $(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable({
        "ajax": "/data.txt"
    });
  });
})(jQuery);
</script>

<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Position</th>
      <th>Office</th>
      <th>Extn.</th>
      <th>Start date</th>
      <th>Salary</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Position</th>
      <th>Office</th>
      <th>Extn.</th>
      <th>Start date</th>
      <th>Salary</th>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>

page.php, in the forum root folder:

<?php

echo 'test.php! ' . date('c');

?>

data.txt, as you provided, also in the forum root folder

So: You should be able to include files fine. The path is relative to the forum root, as far as I know. (Or you could probably make use of the IPS autoloader--but that's much more advanced.)

As for the JS, IPS 4.0 actually already includes jQuery--but it appears that's all the way at the page end. You can't use datatables unless you add it after that (possible, but involved) or include jQuery again, ahead of time, as you're doing. More to the point: I changed the [url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4472528/javascript-jquery-closure-function-syntax]jQuery closure, and it worked. Not sure what the cause of your error was; I didn't get that.

Let me know if you continue having trouble. Seems like the app is working fine though.

Hello,

Those who have bought the version for 3.x must buy it again?

Thank you

​Yes, you'll have to buy it again for 4.x. Sorry.

I look forward to getting Easy Pages up and going but I ran into an install error.  I am using ISP4 RC7, here is the error I am getting.

​I'll try to investigate that over the weekend as I have time available. Thanks. I wouldn't expect major changes, but I haven't tested installation since beta 5 or so.

[John 3:16]

Sounds good, thanks, hopefully it's something simple.

[John 3:16]

For now I uploaded the files directly and installed, which seemed to go fine.

[Ryan H.]

​Oh, okay. Good. Could be an issue with the app installer in the current rc then, but I'll still take a look at some point.

[John 3:16]

No rush for sure, I am getting to dig into Easy Pages and I have to say it's pretty cool.  Maybe I don't end up using it just for the purpose I wanted it for. There is a lot more opportunity to use this, I believe this is different then IP.Pages but actually more powerful.

[Michael Lachney]

Not sure why I'm getting this error, anyhelp would be appriecated! ( This is being emailed to me via Cron Daemon)

PHP Fatal error:  Access to undeclared static property: IPS\easypages\Page::$includeInSitemap in /chroot/home/*****/*****/html/beta/applications/core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Content.php on line 128

​Hmm, okay. That's an easy fix if you're comfortable editing a file by hand:

File applications/easypages/sources/Page/Page.php

    public static $databaseTable    = 'easypages_pages';
    public static $databasePrefix    = 'page_';
    public static $databaseColumnId    = 'id';
    public static $includeInSitemap    = FALSE;
    
    protected static $databaseIdFields = array( 'page_id', 'page_key' );

Add the line in the middle with $includeInSitemap, then save, then no more errors.

I'll make sure that's included in the next update. Thanks.

​Thanks, that also fixed another issue. I was getting an error message in IPB ACP under dashboard for me to check sitemap generator that it was locking up. I'm guessing this was causing that error message because it's no longer there.

[John 3:16]

It seems when trying to download my theme in 4.0.0 i get a EX2 error.  I created a IPS support ticket and they just got back to me after Tier II support, it's Easy Pages from what support says.  Can you take a look?  Thanks!

​That doesn't give me a whole lot to go on in terms of what's actually going wrong internally -- but I'll try it this evening and see if I can reproduce, then go from there.

[John 3:16]

I agree but I had to start somewhere, I can PM you the latest.cgi that they requested.  Not sure what else you need.  I simply tried to download any theme to back it up and it threw the EX2 error.  Maybe someone can give it a go and see if they also get the error.

​Please do, that could help. Thanks.

Please advise: having 3 level include EasyPages-include_page0->include_php1->include_php2 I get Fatal error: Call to a member function for function from include_php2 class. Separately page0 is working fine.

​That sounds like an error in your PHP code. I can't help with that, sorry. 'Call to a member function on non-object' errors like that mean you're trying to use a variable as an object when it isn't an object at all. Check the line the error is on and work back from there.

That is code from framework used for years. This page also is working Ok when run separately. Just now I try to inject page into IPS via EasyPages.

​Then it's a consequence of how it interacts with the IPB framework. Whatever the case, the problem lies within your code and your code is what would have to be adjusted.

I don't want to seem hostile or evasive, it's just not my problem. I can't help you with errors being thrown in your custom code. I don't guarantee that all code will immediately work without modification. I just give you the tools to make it possible.

I've got your point.
