Title: Unable to find url of a new page?
Post by: jazzyman on August 08, 2015, 09:01:18 AM
I am in the process of setting up Simple Portal from an old portal system, so it's all very much different from the old system.

I now have a problem when I create a new page, according to the Simple Portal documentation there should be a link in the page list to locate the url of the new page.

Checking the page list (pic attached) there are no live links or references to any links for a new page. Please could someone explain how to find the url of a newly created page?

Thanks

The page titles in the list you've got a screenshot of are links, so if you click on them you should be led to the page and you can copy that link.

Basically, pages are accessible through this URL: forumurl/index.php?page=x (x can either be the Page ID that you enter or the internal numerical id assigned by the system which is also used for modify and delete links on that page)

The page titles are definitely not active links, I tried the option of forumurl/index.php?page=1664 (page 1664 is an active page) and I get an error "The page you requested cannot be found"

Could this possibly be a bug with the Simple Portal V2.4 running an Elkarte forum board?

Sorry, I didn't realize it was running on ElkArte. Maybe Spuds removed the links. Try the full Page ID: forumurl/index.php?page=page1664

By the way, you can change the Page ID to something similar to page title like "contact" to make the URLs look prettier.

Thank you, that option worked. :)

Glad to hear that it worked. Hopefully we'll make it easier with the upcoming versions.
