This page discusses the "Page" feature built into Pligg.

Pligg Pages are used to display static content. Examples of pages might be an about page, terms of use, license and other pages that don't require comments, votes and other features that Pligg stories use.

When you add a page to your site, a link to that page IS NOT placed in your template automatically. We do not insert a link because each person or template author might have a different opinion on where a link should go, or whether the page even deserves a link. We leave it up to each individual user to insert a link to their pages using their templates.

[h3]Database[/h3]
Page data is stored in the same database table as story data, under pligg_links.

[h3]Customization[/h3]
If you would like to use of {php} and other smarty tags in pages you must change the line in page_center.tpl from

Code:

{$page_content}

to

Code:

{eval var=$page_content}

After making this change you will then be able to embed PHP and Smarty code into the content area of your page.

can you please mention the path to the static page folder.

There is no static page folder. Pages are stored in the database's pligg_links table alongside normal stories.

How do visitors find the static pages? Do you need to update the templates to get the links into the menus or is their a mechanism for making that happen automatically?

How do you display a link to the pages on the navigation menu / bar. Even with the default Pligg template, I do not see a link being displayed to the pages we have created.

Thanks

There is no automatic link insertion, because everyone might have a different idea on where a link should be placed in their templates. You must manually insert a link using HTML code in your template files.
