Thank you both for helping. I appreciate it. What about the "You are here" navigation under the header....would either of you know what file I could edit to change that? It still says "Support" and I'd like to change it to say "Home". Selym

I was able to create a few brand new pages successfully, but I also want to have a different homepage (index.php) with some custom content on it instead of the "support" links listed now. To do this, I believe I would put my custom content in the homepage.tpl file of my theme directory, but I'm not sure what else to do, if anything. Do I have to modify index.php the same way I did for my newly created pages by following the directions here: http://wiki.whmcs.com/Creating_Pages ? Or will it function by leaving it alone? Thanks, Selym

Okay, I started thinking I was beyond help because even after your last posts all I saw was the text, and none of the menus, header, footer, nothing. But then I realized my mistake. Somehow....I had the code swapped...what should have been in the php file was in the tpl file, and vice versa. So all is well now. Thank you both for helping. Very kind of you to help out.

Hi chickendippers- Forgive me for not understanding completely, but do you mean type MY custom content into the tpl file, or the content/code such as the menu, header, footer, etc.? I'm just wondering at what point the "shell" is supposed to appear, because right now all I have is text (two words) from the steps I did above from Steve. Thanks, Selym

Ahh, ok, I just did what you said and the text is now showing up. Thanks for your help Steve. So perhaps I misunderstood what the "create a page" function does. I thought it would give me sort of an empty shell of a page in which I would have the navigation menu, header, footer, etc., which I could then add my own content to...but it would still look like a page that "belonged". Did I get the wrong idea, or is there still much to be done with this new page?

Originally I used notepad, but I also copied another existing page and renamed it to try that as well. Neither worked. Should I be using a specific program to create these files? Have PM'd you the url of my test site. Thanks, Selym

Thank you Chicken and Sparky for taking the time to help. Still having a bit of trouble getting anything to show up. Here's what I did referring to both of your instructions. -Created new.php, pasted the code into it, and made sure file was in whmcs root directory, which is actually "whmcs" for this test. -Changed this line: $breadcrumbnav = '<a href="index.php">'.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'</a> > <a href="mypage.php">My Page</a>'; require("init.php"); To this: $breadcrumbnav = '<a href="index.php">'.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'</a> > <a href="new.php">New Page</a>'; require("init.php"); Then changed this line: $templatefile = "homepage"; To this: $templatefile = "new"; I saved the file, then copied the code and pasted it into a new file called new.tpl, saved it, and then uploaded it to whmcs/templates/portal, then browswed to mydomain.com/whmcs/new.php Still no luck getting a blank shell to show up. Do you see anything I've done wrong, or perhaps I missed something simple? I'm obviously not a programmer, but I hope I can crawl my way through this with your guidance. Thanks again to both of you for helping. Selym

Hello, I would like to create two new pages with WHMCS since my site copy/content will fit on two pages, it makes more sense to build my site around WHMCS and keep everything looking similar. I found this page (http://wiki.whmcs.com/Creating_Pages) but I'm not exactly sure what to do with the code. I created a new file and pasted that code into it, but that didn't work. Can anyone explain exactly how to create a new page, or perhaps point me in the right direction please? Thank you very much. Selym

That is absolutely superb. Thanks very much for the quick response.

Hello, I plan to offer both a monthly and a discounted yearly payment option for my web hosting clients. If an annual pay client decides to upgrade to a more expensive account halfway through the year, will I be able to create and send a one off custom invoice for/to this person so I can pro-rate the remainder of the year at the higher rate? Thanks, Selym
