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 sub-template placed where the {body_html} tag is placed in the page template.

The pages we have inserted within the default design at installation are there to show possible functions for this feature. They can be used as they are, 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 also the sub-template used in the {body_html} tag of the page template. Whatever you insert into the sub-template of that page will replace the "{body_html}" tag within the page template assigned to that page.

This will show all of the "Overal Temple Used" (page template) and "Extra Page Contents (body_html) Sub-Template attached to this page. You will be able to see the templates attached for each language if you have multiple languages configured within the software.

Within the default design we make use of the page template and body template feature. You do not necessarily have to do the same thing as you can put all your content in the main "page template" used on this page but defeats the advantages of page design maintenance provided by the page template feature.

If you wish to make changes to the content on an extra page you only need to see which body template is used on this page, find that template within your template set and edit it. You can find and edit all templates used in the system within the DESIGN > MANAGER admin tool. The path provided in this page should show you where in your template set that "body" template can be found.

The url to any of the extra pages within the system is at the top of that extra pages admin tool page within the following admin tool:

PAGES MANAGEMENT > EXTRA PAGES

The system will not automatically create a link to an extra page if you decide to start using one. You must create the link to this page within your template design using the url found on that extra page admin tool.
