I am trying to use this plugin.

Is there anyway I could access the page @ mysite.com/testpage.php? rather than
mysite.com/misc.php?page=testpage

Also I see that you have some xml docs that you provided. What do I do with them?

I want to add a 'contact us' page. Could you please explain how to do this step by step? Thanks a lot Smile

This is possible with rewrite rules. One example I gave in the first post of this thread:

RewriteRule ^Page-([^./]+)$ misc.php?page=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

I recommend to use a static prefix like Page- or somthing like this.

You can import them: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-63357.html

Since version 1.4 it is possible to export and import custom pages. So it's very easy to include pages in your MyBB made by other Page Manager users.

Uh, a step by step instruction with my minimal knowledge of english language... Blush

It's very easy. Just create a new page (click on tab "Add New Page"). Set a name (whatever you want) and an URI parameter. The URI parameter is used to point to your page. If you chose "test" you can open your page with:
http://example.net/misc.php?page=test

I suggest you import the sample pages so you can see some examples of pages: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-633...#pid453997

This plugin is a tool and not a ready to use new page.

BTW here you will find a ready to import contact page: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-633...#pid459254 Wink

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the detailed reply Smile
Updated to version 1.4.4

Now Google SEO and Page Manager are 100% compatible (reference: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-464...#pid464775).

If you want to update from 1.4.x to 1.4.4 just overwrite the plugin file.
If you want to upgrade from a previous version to 1.4.4 follow these instructions: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-630...#pid453731
Hello from me down here in New Zealand querschlaeger

I have just downloaded the page manager package and will be uploading to my site shortly.

Thank you for sharing your skills/talent with us learners.

MyBB is the best!

Cheers
Updated to version 1.5!

I rewrite the code partly. Now Page Manager uses the MyBB cache system. This reduces the SQL queries massively. On "Who is online" list there were 3 queries for each(!) "Viewing Page XYZ" location. With version 1.5 I reduced it to ... 0 queries for the whole page. Cool I also changed some other SQL queries so this version is SQL performance optimized.

Also you can set if a page should displayed in "Who is online" list or not. It's a good setting if you want to hide some pages (maybe staff pages or something like Statistics Signature).

There is a new option on import page: Manual import. If you activate it, direct importing of pages is bypassed and you can view/check/alter the page content and settings before writing the page to database (or you can just cancel the import).

Now the export system encodes page content with Base64 and add a MD5 checksum to export file. As a result pages exported with version 1.5 (and follow) can't import with version 1.4. I know it's a hard cut but it became necessary because some characters used in page content can brake the XML scheme. Of course you can still import "old" Page Manager 1.4 XML pages.

To upgrade to version 1.5 (regardless which version you are running at the moment) do the following:

  1. overwrite the plugin file (optional: the language files you need too)
  2. go to page manager section and export all your pages
  3. go to plugins section and (re)install Page Manager
  4. now import your saved pages again


Do it exactly in this order (do not deactivate or uninstall Page Manager!) or you may lost all your pages! If you are experienced enough you can backup the database table mybb_pages before upgrading. So you are able to restore the table if you running in troubles...
