The Extra Pages feature is one of the more powerful features of the software. These pages enable you to set up additional 'instructional' pages, such as 'contact us', 'about us', 'how it works', etc. and at that same time allow you to take advantage of the software's dynamic properties, such as templates and modules. This is because you can assign a template to these pages and display any content you wish by entering it into the "MAIN BODY TEXT" field for each page. That data is then displayed through the MAINBODY tag located within the assigned template.
The pages we have within the extra pages admin tool now are just there to show possible functions for this feature. They can be changed to say anything you wish or removed altogether. Each of these pages have their own unique url so can be linked from anywhere on the Internet. The unique for each is on its individual admin tool page.
Note that simply using an extra page doesn't "link" it within the site. You may see some "extra pages" linked within the default design but they were placed there by default to illustrate their possible use within the default design. The extra pages are independent pages that you must link to within the current design of the site. Each of the extra pages within the system has a specific url to link to it. The url to a specific extra page is at the top of that extra pages admin tool page. You can then set the page template used on that page and then the "body" of that extra page below that. Whatever you insert into the "body" of that page will replace the "(!MAINBODY!)" tag within the page template assigned to that page.
