About This File
Want to add custom pages to your IP.Board website? [b]Easy Pages[/b] is a simple and powerful tool to help you do that, from the comfort of your own Admin CP.
There are no fancy wizards or long pages of settings--just pick a title and
URL, enter some text, and you're good to go. You don't have to know HTML
or PHP (although you can use them if you want to!).
Use it to add a Privacy Policy, or maybe a simple FAQ. You could create an entire
website if you want. The only limit is your own creativity.
[b]Some of the features of this application:[/b][list]
[*]Create custom pages using BBCode, PHP, HTML, or IP.Board's Rich-Text Editor.
[*]Place each page [b]within IP.Board's skin[/b], or build it [b]from the ground up[/b].
[*][b]Choose your own page URL[/b] for SEO purposes.
[*][b]Limit who can view a page[/b] with group permissions.
[*]Use 'static blocks' of text or even PHP to [b]avoid repeating code[/b] across multiple pages.
[*]Place static blocks in pages, or anywhere in your skin.
[/list]
This application provides an easy way to create and view pages; it does not
handle navigation. You will need to add links to the pages in the
navigation bar or elsewhere yourself.
