Icy Phoenix

Is it possible to create an extra HTML page using Icy Phoenix, then add a link to it in the main menu (the one that sits at the top and goes:
Home Forum Search FAQ Register Log in)?

I want to create a page about online dangers, and have it show in the top menu no matter which page the user is at, plus link to it in the Olympus-type warnings of some forums.

Could someone tell what code to write and where please?

To edit top menu you have to modify: /templates/mg_themes/overall_header.tpl

Thanks, but for a title 'Online dangers', what code would I need to add?

it's html

Thanks, Zucker, it worked a treat. :mrorange:

Is it possible to create a new page in IP that I can put relevent info in, or must I create a topic with the text in then link to that?

I think that u have to explore the CMS's power :P
With the new cms , you can do what u want :mricy:

I can't work out out how to create a new html page. It just changes the layout of existing pages, such as the index page, and the page that lists all your forums.

How can I create a new html page, so I can stick my warnings on it and I can link to it? It can be any layout, I don't mind if it has the side menu or not, or if it is 2 or 3 column or not. Any would do.

Maybe this guide will help you

I've looked at that and it's not very easy to understand.

And it's not easy to explain also ;)
Darkone make a great job with that guide.

Try to add a new page with the cms and play with it

tc1967uk,


You have to create a new portal page. Than an html block with anything you want. Pick up the page id and add the link to the header menu.

That's all.


If you follow the guide linked by Zuker I'm sure you will obtain what you want, but you have to take your time and be patient. Once you have learnt you will see it will be easy ;)


The more help we could do for you now would be making that page for you :mricy:

Ive created a new 'page', ID 4 below:

ID / Name / Filename / Template


- / Global Blocks
1 / 3 Columns / None / 3_column.tpl
2 / 2 Columns / None / 2_column.tpl
4 / Online dangers / danger / 3_column.tpl

and created a 'block' for it that has the html version of my warning text in it. However, I can't see the page or the block anywhere in the site.

How can I find it so I can link to it please?

I guess it sholud be the page_name.php
-try typing the page name on your browser and see if ti exists.

No luck, it just shows the home page. Any ideas folks?
