Pages in portal block

« on: February 22, 2011, 04:19:26 AM »

Ok am just wondering
I have tutorial pages on my site they are linked to from the navigation bar

Is it possible to make pages using html in the portal using the pages there and have then linked to from a block ?

if so how
I have a lot of pages that would need doing if do this so want to make sure its possible first.
Also if I do this I dont want to stretch the block to long so would I be able to keep it a set size and have a scroll bar on the side?

Hope this makes sence
to see my setup at the moment if you go to tutorials in the navigation block here you will see how its currently set up
I want the block to list the tutorials in it and each tutorial in the the list when clicked on opens the page the tutorial is on

You can make portal pages in HTML, PHP, and BBC in the admin section.

I guess you could make an custom module that grabs the pages you create. But remember, if you make an contact page or something, then it will also show up in the module.

I am not an experienced coder, so you will have to wait for one to come by and give you advice on how to make the module

Thanks Willemjan

Have just tried to make a custom page in html
the one thing that have noticed is that it wont allow me to copy my html from a already made page and paste it in,

is there a setting somewhere that is stopping this do you know ?

I can copy/paste with no problem at all... Try to copy/paste the stuff between the body tags only.

ok that worked mostly but text is not good so need to sort that out its something on the html thats not being liked somewhere lol
and its not taking the graphics onboard but can use img tags hopefully to put them in

will see how it goes with this one and a custom block to see if can get it how I want

Thank you Willemjan

Can you give me an link to the page? I can find out whats going wrong...

The image tags won't work in html. You need to enter the full path to your img eg: http://yoursite.com/tutorials/image/thisimage.jpg

http://www.tutz2tagz.com/Tutorial/Double%20Take/doubletake.jpg

I noticed that you have put the images in that HTML page in like this:

Code: [Select]

<img title="" height="500" alt="" width="500" src="doubletake.jpg" />

It should be:

Code: [Select]

<img title="" height="500" alt="" width="500" src="http://www.tutz2tagz.com/Tutorial/Double%20Take/doubletake.jpg" />

This is because the page you create with DP is not in the same place as the page you have in HTML. That is why the website can't find the img.

Code: [Select]

[img][/img]

those tags are BBC codes. We are using HTML coding here

So yes it does pick up the links, cause that is an full link to an page. The image is not an full link, and therefor won't display.

You could download the html files, and edit them with this program:

http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Then after that, copy/paste into DP.

NotePad++ is an handy program wich is developed for coding
