Any Idea, what I'm missing?
Thanks.

Looks like it has something to do with the nodes as tabs add on.

Can you expand on this tutorial by showing how we can make portal pages (list of news from specific forums and latest threads)? All the current portal addons only support a single portal page.

That requires custom development and is outside the scope of creating a page node.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I've followed your instruction and I keep getting:

URL Portion:
Please enter a node name/URL portion using a-z, 0-9, _, and - characters only.

Click to expand...

I'm trying to create a page to put in my privacy policy.

This is what I have: (I am just testing things and learning before I finalise the switch from vB)

URL Portion - http://www.mysitename.net/xenforum/pages/privacy
Title - Privacy Policy
Parent Node - route node
Display Order - 1 with Display in Node List unchecked

Obviously not as straight forward as creating a forum node as I thought, do I need to create another category node just for pages, or create a directory on my server called pages?

Please explain.

It should look something like this:



In your case just enter the word 'privacy'.

Ah right, with you, many thanks Brogan, entering a full url was confusing, makes more sense now.

Can you explain further?

Do you want to embed a page node in another page?
Internal or external?

I think he meant opening the page on a new tab?

Ah.

In that case, you can probaly edit the node_page_level_2 and node_page_level_n templates and add target="_blank".

They match the forum/style exactly - the same elements are used to build the page.
You can see that here: http://xenforo.com/community/pages/example-page/
Some more examples are here - click on the node navigation menu on the left to see more: http://www.cliptheapex.com/community/pages/2011-race-hub/

They exist within the forum structure - you will notice the Forums tab is highlighted when viewing a Page.

To add some extra ideas for everyone, I have added a screenshot of how we use this feature on HaloScene.com for organization and structure between the staff and team members.

Sorry for the noob question, but what's the location of the custom pages?
I need to put a widget in a custom page, so, what is the location of these pages?

I don't understand your question.

Those are ad templates, not page nodes.

Who0ps, you're right, I'll check again. I'm a little confused with something...
