How to create a Page node

creativeforge · Sep 19, 2015

OK, I have my coffee with me now - so here's my question:

Where can I edit a created page? I created on months ago following this guide (I'm sure!) and it worked perfectly. However I need to make a new one, and edit the old one.

I looked everywhere I could think, even the server...

Thank you!

Is there a straightforward way to create a New Page which essentially recreates an existing xenforo page? Specifically I'm interested in creating a page for Recent Activity.

I've looked at /library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/RecentActivity.php but not quite sure how to leverage this in a Page.

It would require custom development.

My page node dont appear entire in a mobile....i need any command in my html for do this correct?

There is nothing in the default software which would prevent a page node showing on any device or browser width.

Hello Brogan!

How is it possible to pull a determined thread into the Homepage?

@Brogan

I have bought a nice article (html+css) template on themeforest. Id like to implement this template inside a page node, to use it for publishing nicer articles.

What is the best way to do this? Possible to Just copy & paste the template codes (without headers) into the nodes?

That would likely do it but that will only affect the content embedded in the page node template, not the overall styling of the site, which will come from the XF style.

@Brogan Thank you for fast reply. i will give it a try and show how it looks. The template is builded on Bootstrap. Is that a problem for Xenforo structure?

@Brogan ... I have tried every combination of the wrap and I can't get external links to work. It continues to add our domain prior to the external link

Example:

Code:

<a href="http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp" target="_blank">click here</a>

... links to this:

Code:

https://www.avnirvana.com/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp%E2%80%9D

You must have a rewrite in place which is doing that.

Sonnie · Apr 14, 2017

Hmmm... I am not that good with rewrites and thought most of these were standard.

Do you see anything that would cause it?

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt$

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.avnirvana.com/$1 [R,L]

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 405 default
ErrorDocument 406 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
ErrorDocument 501 default
ErrorDocument 503 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots) - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

Okay... so this is strange... we have two page nodes that we added on. One is out "About Us" page and the links work just fine and dandy, as you would normally install them for HTML.

HOWEVER, on the Privacy Policy page, which is setup and designed the exact same way other than the wording, I had to remove all of the quotation marks in the "a href" URL's... basically all quotation marks between the <a> attribute had to go... now it works fine.

It certainly seems odd that one allows them and the other doesn't, and they code is the same other than the words.

@Brogan

In XF1 with friendly URLs on, is there a way to make node page url website.com/pagename instead of website.com/pages/pagename?

Thanks!

Paul B · Feb 5, 2018

You can do that with a route filter: https://xenforo.com/help/route-filters/

1. To add a sidebar use <xen:sidebar>sidebar content</xen:sidebar>
2. This is user specific - there is very little point in me giving you the contents of my home page which is about F1.
3. Navigation, header and footer are part of the overall template so aren't required.

Literally all you need to do is enter the HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build your page.

If you want to see how a typical page is built, right click in your browser and select View page source.
Try it on the Page here on XenForo.com.
Browse to this URL: http://xenforo.com/community/pages/example-page/
Right click and view source.
Everything between <article> and </article> is the code which has been entered to create the page. If there is a sidebar, everything between <aside> and </aside>.

As I have already said several times, me posting code for my site will be of absolutely no use at all to anyone else.

What if instead of /page/ I want to add link it to /help/ ?
