I want domain.com/custompage, but the built in functionality puts all pages inside a /pages/ directory so the URL comes out domain.com/pages/custompage which I don't want.
I found this answer from a Shopify Guru in 2016 that mentions potentially setting up a custom HTML template or using an app, which no longer exists.
Any clues on how to achieve this? I have limited experience with Shopify templates, but could figure it out if someone could point me in the right direction.
This blogger says it can't be done:
"Q: Can you create pages on the root? A: The answer to this is no –> all pages have either /pages/, /collections/ or /products/ in the URL."
However others have told me it is possible. Just not how to do it.
Create a section Name "test" // first a step
Create a page json Name "test" // The second step
After creating the page, JSON does a section test

I am trying to simply edit the format (float from left to center and remove two column layout into one column) of my about page on my Shopify site.
I have edited the html of the page directly using chrome dev tools (to confirm what I am doing is going to make the page look like I want it to).
My issue is that Shopify has a specific global section in the admin where you can edit just the content of the about page. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find anything on that page that allows me to edit the pages code directly.
And when I look at the theme code for the main site, I cannot find any .liquid files that seem to be related to the about page.
Anybody with Shopify coding experience able to point me in the right direction?
I was wondering whether exists any dashlet which allows you to explore a site's document library. As far as I know doesn't exist such dashlet out of the box, there only exists the "Site Content" dashlet but it is slightly limited.
I have been searching around and "googling" and I found these useful resources that could be useful as a starting point if I had to create my own:
http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2012/05/08/1592
http://code.google.com/p/fme-alfresco-extensions/wiki/GalleryPlusDashlet2
Do somebody know more dashlets/resources targeting this issue? Any suggestion?
As a temporary solution, I'm also thinking in the possibility of taking advantage of the "Web View" dashlet, by configuring in it such URL that retrieves the documentlist region/component in the documentlibrary page. For example:, share/page/components/documentlibrary/documentlist or share/page/site/{site}/documentlibrary?region=documentlist. Maybe it is crazy or what I'm saying doesn't make any sense, but it is just an idea.
Another idea that have just came to my mind is the option of creating a custom Surf/Share page which includes the component/webscript that implements the explorer of the document library, specifically the documentlist component. Then configure the "Web View" dashlet giving the URL that points to the custom page created. Would it make sense?
Thanks in advance.
You are going to see a couple of site visualization and navigation dashlets on Alfresco Visualization Tools available on https://github.com/bhagyas/alfresco-visualization-tools. The project is still at it's initial phase, but you will find interesting snippets of code used to retrieve the document library content trees within the dashlets.
The project was presented by me at Alfresco DevCon in Berlin just a week ago to bring interactive navigation and content analytics. If interested, you can find the slides at the lightening talk slides in the DevCon 2012 site at Alfresco.
Cheers! =)
Hi I've done exactly the same, it was not really needed for a Dashlet but for to embed the documentlibrary of a site in an iframe for another site.
So what I did was indeed create a new page template embedded-documentlibrary.
I've copied first the following files and renamed them:
site-data/pages/documentlibrary.xml
site-data/template-instances/documentlibrary.xml
site-webscripts/org/alfresco/documentlibrary.ftl
If you rename file 3 or put it in another folder, you need to check the paths in file 1 & 2.
So to make only the documentlibrary appear instead of everyting I just removed everything in file 3 within the <div id="alf-hd"> tag.
If you remove the tag, the document-tree will also be removed and it gave some javascript errors. This should be fixed in the latest version, but haven't tied that.
So it's extremely easy to create your own page and instead of navigating to site/documentlibrary you just navigate to site/embedded-documentlibrary or your own name you've chosen.
And yes then you'll need to use the web-view Dashlet to show it.
The only thing you need to know is, that the links open within the iframe. So if you use the web-view Dashlet, you need to open the links in a new window.
For my situation I needed an iframe, in your case you could also just let the freemarker from your Dashlet render the components needed.
There is a document-liberary-display dashlet available in the alfresco add-on list which can be used to show all the documents from document-library on site-dashlet.

is it possible to create an empty html file say ex : myname.html
I tried to create a layout and add it to a page, but it seems the layout cannot be empty.
I got an error while creating an empty layout file.
Is there anyway to achieve this?
Sorry i cannot post this under "Shopify" tag under webmaster or meta version or stackexchange,
because there is no such tag in it.
If it's okay for the URL of the page to be /pages/myname and not /myname.html, then here's another work-around:
Go To Blogs & Pages and create a page. Call it, say, 'My Page'. Give it the handle 'myname'.
Go to Themes > Template Editor, and create a new 'page' template under Templates. Call it say, 'special'. The name of the file will become page.special.liquid.
Delete the content of that file. At the top of the file, add this: {% layout none %}, then add your HTML. Save.
Go back to your 'My Page' under Blogs & Pages, and assign your page.special template to it. Save.
See this for more info: http://support.shopify.com/customer/portal/articles/263930-creating-and-using-an-alternate-template-for-pages-products-collections-and-blogs
Unfortunately, you can’t do this in Shopify.
However, if you can deal with redirects, what you could do is make an empty html file under /admin/files/list and redirect to that.
There's a good visual explanation on how to do this with redirects a little way down this thread:
http://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-marketing/t/verifying-website-on-pinterest-112464
(To verify for Pinterest for Business, but should work with others as well)
To sum up:
1. Upload the verification file to account > Show uploaded files
2. Grab the URL
3. Go to Navigation > URL Redirects
4. Add verification URL as 'old path' and actual position of file as 'new path'.
5. Verify
A default Trac installation will display the WikiStart page as its home page. I'd like it to display another page. How do I do that? I was unable to find anything with Google, as any request with "Trac" in it will return links to every opensource project that uses Trac.
If you want to keep the "Welcome to Trac" page, have you considered simply migrating that content to a new page and then editing WikiStart? Trac documentation upgrades leave the WikiStart page unchanged (as documented here), so you aren't making trouble for yourself in that regard.
Are you wanting to display a different wiki page, or a different kind of page? I don't know of a config option for the former, but you can use [trac] default_handler in your trac.ini to make, say, the custom query page be the default page.
Edit: Taking a quick glance over the sources, WikiStart is pretty well hard-coded as the start page for the wiki. So, short of patching Trac, I don't think you can do what you're after.
It seems there's no hope in overriding /wiki URL path to render a wiki page other than WikiStart. That's hardcoded by design (maybe for a very good reason).
On the other hand you can use configuration options in [mainnav] section to override Wiki link in main navigation area and make it point at a custom wiki page e.g.
[mainnav]
wiki.label = Home
wiki.href = /wiki/HomePage
see details in trac:wiki:TracInterfaceCustomization#CustomNavigationEntries
If your Trac installation is behind Apache, then you can use an Apache configuration directive to redirect or rename the "home page" url. For example, look at the "Alias" directive.
My solution to the same problem was to use the [[Include]] macro (http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/IncludeMacro), and have the WikiStart page contain a single include statement.
I wanted a different page name than WikiStart so I could use the page name prefixes to categorize sets of pages, e.g., MyToolNameIntroduction is my start page.
This trac ticket suggests it is not directly possible: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/9012
I've generated a website documentation of my project with Sandcastle. This website uses frames so when I click though sites my URL in browser does not change.
I would like to have URL changed in browser when I browse through website documentation generated with Sandcastle. Why? Because I would like to link to concrete subpages of documentation from other parts of my developer environment.
And further more I would like to have this links permanent. So when I generate once again documentation from new version of my project, links will not change so that I will not need to change all links to new.
Is this possible and how to acomplish this?
If you add the code below to the top of SplitScreen.js the browser will "inject" the TOC frame and focus on the content you linked directly to (using the trick Vitaly Shibaev showed).
if (window==top) {
window.location = "/?topic=" + (window.location.pathname.substring(1));
}
This code works it the documentation is placed at the root of your website - if you have it in a sub-folder you need to expand on "/?topic" and remove the sub-folder part from the pathname part.
With this change you can use the "direct links". I also expect people who find you via Google get a better experience (getting the content they searched for AND the TOC bar).
In order to create correct links to specific subpages of documentation you may use similar request: $DOCUMENTATION_ROOT$/Index.aspx?topic=html/$TOPIC_ID$.htm
E.g. http://www.ewoodruff.us/shfbdocs/Index.aspx?topic=html/8dcbb69b-7a1a-4049-8e6b-2bf344efbbc9.htm
instead of http://www.ewoodruff.us/shfbdocs/html/8dcbb69b-7a1a-4049-8e6b-2bf344efbbc9.htm
Vitaliy and mawtex have solved the 'how to link to documentation subpages' part of your question.
The "making links permanent so they do not change when regenerating documentation" part of your questions is solved automatically, since the html file names created are based on a hash of the topic name by default. I.e. If you do not change the part of your code that you are documenting, then it will use the same file name.
You can change the way that html file names are generated, but all given methods are based on the member name or a hash of the topic ID, so links shouldn't break if the code hasn't changed.
