A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) page editor has been built into Shop Maker, which can e used to create HTML pages. You can use this facility to edit existing files or create new HTML files.
To edit an existing file open the extra page/ file management section of the Shop Maker admin and click the Edit File link next to a HTML file.
To create a new file, click on Extra Page Wizards and then Custom Page Editor.

Once the Custom Page Editor is opened, you will be able to create your HTML page using various buttons and tools.

Once you are happy with the design of your page, enter a file name and click the Save button.
This will save the file to your extrafiles/ directory ready for you to "make link" in extra page / file management.

FAQ's

Q: I am having difficulties inserting images onto the pages. I can see the images quite happily in the custom page editor but when I view the page in the shop, I just get a red cross with no image.

A: The problem is that the image location in the editor is different to the location of the shop.php file.
To make it work, you need to consider the image path from where the file will be displayed which will be shop/shop.php. This means that if you upload the file to /extrafiles/ directory, the image path should be: extrafiles/yourimagefile.gif
This will produce a broken image in the editor but not in the page in the shop.
If you are linking directly to the www.yourdomain.com/shop/extrafiles/filename.htm, the image path should simply be the filename. This will again, produce a broken image in the editor, but the image will display on the page.
