So i tried this and i see a message on the page

"The module you have requested ("playlist") does not exist."

Either way i clicked START BUILDER but it asks me to Create or Import a layout for the page.

If i click Create i see a message

The builder has no module context!

then theres a menu

and then another message

The page URL should include module=this_module.

Otherwise, it won't know what module you are working on.

 

Ok so doing this, i cant create a page
What im trying to do is create another page accessable via the TAB menu called PLAYLST.

On this page once created im sure i can add in the boxes i need to via the builder.

I'm recording a builder orientation tutorial right now, so that'll answer some of your further questions concerning page creation. Should be out within the hour or so. First off, a bit of background information on the content hierarchy.

The general principle is that each URL on your site should have the following:

  • index.php?module=whatever&show=your_page_name

There has to be a "module context", because everything is accessed through a module. Module is, then, the highest-level "container" in the iWiccle system hierarchy, right next to the core. The full hierarchy for custom content is:

  • Core > Module > Layout > (Row) > Column > Unit

And the general hierarchy for dynamic content is:

  • Core > Module > Parent > Category > (Thread) > Post

These structures are in place to ensure that everything belongs somewhere, and that everything is accessible and cross-referenced. You'll be all the happier for this when we roll out our Content Tree Builder and some other related tools.

So you want to link a custom page directly from the main menu tabs. In general, the main menu is editable in Admin CP > Modules > Menu Builder under Main Menu. Out-of-the-box, it only allows you to choose tabs from the modules you have active. This is on my immediate list of feature defects to fix, as there should be an easy way to add new tabs with any links. In the meantime, this hack is still valid.

If you want to add your custom pages to the submenus under each module, this is a whole lot simpler. Go to Admin CP > Modules > Module Menu Builder, and it should be straight-forward enough from there onwards; just look at the ready menus for the simple syntax reference for internal and external pages.

i was able to go in and create a custom page but when i save it and stopped the builder

i lost the content. No idea where it is now

l can try going back to that same URL i was sitting in to create its content

but if i do, i see a message "This module is not currently active" Hence my posting this thread.

So

now to find out.... where did the content go?
I created a layout = DONE

i created a couple columns = DONE

i created boxes for the columns = DONE.

either way

what im creating here is a static page with a couple iframes on them so its all straight forward HTML,
nothing dynamic.

Just not sure how i got to it now.

Nothing like a good Buddha Blast to get things moving, eh? And when you get together a page you like, remember to use the backup toolbar for saving it for future, or as a template for new pages.
