    Default Need help with new catalog pages

    Hello!
    I inherited a site: http://www.hazmatpac.com and a few weeks ago you all were very helpful with a problem we had in system maintenance. This is an older version: TYPOlight 2.6.3 and it's still not updated. The client is considering a move, and if that comes about a Contao expert will be brought it! Until then, I've been asked to update images (done) and add three new pages (not done). I've read though many of your great posts but I don't find the help I need. I've downloaded and read the Contao-Manual by Winans Creative which is great, but not at my much lower level VBG plus this site has a catalog module and there's not much online help for it or at least none I can find.

    Okay here's my problem:

    Going into "site structure" I chose this page: http://hazmatpac.com/id-4--1-liter-shipping-cooler.html

    It is at the top of the tree for shipping coolers (see screen shot below)

    and I made a duplicated and named it:
    http://hazmatpac.com/1--1-liter-shipping-cooler.html
    But the page is blank (I thought "duplicate" would really duplicate it).

    So then I went into the catalog and created it as an "item" and got this http://hazmatpac.com/product-details/items/901.html

    Which while it sort of works, doesn't look like the original page.

    I tried again and duplicated the page to create:

    http://hazmatpac.com/id-4--8oz-liter-sh ... ooler.html - still blank

    Also, here is the main shipping cooler navigation page: http://hazmatpac.com/shipping-coolers.html

    these two new products should link off this page, and both look something like the one I duplicated: http://hazmatpac.com/id-4--1-liter-shipping-cooler.html

    No links suddenly appear :0( on this cooler navigation page. If you look at the screen shot, I thought since it fit in the tree hierarchy, presto the links would appear.

    After three days of trying to figure this out, I just don't' seem to get what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions? I thought that by duplicating an existing page, I could then re-name it, change the image, etc, but all I get are blank pages...and no links on the shipping cooler nav page.

    Thank you for any and all help!

    Default Re: Need help with new catalog pages

    I think the default is that articles are not published (after a duplication). So if the catalog modules aren't in the layout for that page then they must be in the article. First I would check the Content -> Articles section and make sure that they are visible.

    Default That does help!

    Gosh, didn't even think to look there! I got the pages published, edited them, learned a dozen other things as well. Even managed to link them to the Shipping Cooler nav page.

    Thank you!

    :D
