Create Internal Page in Koha. Creating pages in Koha 19.11.

Here is how to create a internal page in Koha 19.11 and how to link to a menu in Koha OPAC page.

# cd /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opaccp opac-main.pl pages.pl 
# vim pages.pl

At around line line no#39 look for following line :

template_name  => "opac-main.tmpl",

You may either comment (with #) or replace the 'opac-mail.tmpl' with 'pages.tt' that you have created as
template_name  => "pages.tt", 


Now add the following code at around line no#112

my $page = "page_" . $input->param('p');           
           my $preference = C4::Context->preference($page);  
           $template->{VARS}->{'page_test'} = $preference;  

Save and exit the page.

Next, Change the permission of the pages.pl

#chmod 755 pages.pl

Next:
#cd /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules
#cp opac-main.tt pages.tt
#vim pages.tt

At around line no# 109 look for the following code
[% IF ( OpacMainUserBlock ) %]<div id="opacmainuserblock">[% OpacMainUserBlock | $raw %]</div>[% END %]

and replace it with the following line

[% IF ( page_test ) %]<div id="opacmainuserblock">[% page_test %]</div>[% END %]


Save and exit the page.

Now, open the file :
#vim /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf

Add the following line at line no#12

ScriptAlias /pages.pl "/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/pages.pl"

Save and exit the file.

Now here is how to create a file. Go to Koha > Administration >  System preferences > Local use

Click on New Preference to create a page.

And add the details. The page name should always begin with "page_"

For example if you want to create a About Us page then name should be something like "page_aboutus" Check the image below.


To check if you can access the new page try to browse the page that you created:
http://your_IP_address/pages.pl?p=aboutus

This way you can create additional pages by clicking on New Preference.

Now to link the new pages to you OPAC hyperlink, go to System Preferences > OPAC > opacnav and add the HTML tags  as shown in the image below.
