Linked pages from the piratebox main page?

Pi'm aware the default piratebox setup has forum and chat support. So what about side pages for specific info bits?

Examples would be an instruction page for a local game server, contact information, calander of events, or just anything where you want to specifically have 'this' information on it's own thing for people to find.

If it matters I would like those pages to also display links for pages under them.

I ask if this can be done because piratebox's whole redirect thing and would like to make sure this wouldn't be a big huge issue.

Lastly would it be possible to have links to downloadable things on these pages?

I'm not very sure about the context of your question

Do you mean:
- Having an HowTo page preinstalled to mod the PirateBox?
- or you want to add links to content on your personal PirateBox
- The redirect thingy does two things:
... 1. for a unknown url/404 -> redirect to start page
... 2. resolve any (unknown domain) with the IP of the PirateBox

Can you specifiy it a bit more, please ?

Are you are wanting to change the links at the top of the main page located here? Or maybe ad more of them?

If yes, you should be able to edit the index.html using nano like this:

sudo nano /opt/piratebox/www/index.html

find the place in the code where it looks like this

You would edit the code so that it adds a link to your new page.

When your done adding your link your index.html file should look similar to this

Your piratebox home page now should look like this

The webpage your LAN party page or calendar should be placed in is the /opt/piratebox/www/ folder

In addition, you need to modify those two files:

/opt/piratebox/src/HEADER.txt
/opt/piratebox/src/README.txt

Those files are copied over to each directory, that you have that nice directory listing.
