Setting up Single Pages
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've followed this:
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/pages/single-page...
And then this:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/instructio...
I'm still perplexed as to why I'm getting...
"That specified path doesn't appear to be a valid static page." at the top of my Single Pages listing.
Any ideas of what I'm missing? I'm a newbie to this, but everything else seems to be going fine.

I am having the same problem. I have searched the site for answers but have found nothing useful. I will post back here if I figure something out
Two things to check:
- Where you are ftping to: all files should be in the main concrete5 folder under "single_pages" - If your trying to add to the dashboard it should be "single_pages/dashboard/(title of tab)"
- When you add the path just put the file name under "single_pages". No need to add "single_pages" again. example: "dashboard/(Main tab)/(sub tab)"
If this does not help, put an example so I can see what you are entering, and the file location based with the concrete5 folder. IE (/concrete5/single_pages/dashboard/(my new page.php)
Verify .php is at the end of the file.

The location was /single_pages/how
the file was called how.php and was blank
CHMOD 777 (for good measure)
It was never considered a valid static page. I have since given up and I am just using page types to create the pages I need.

I think I actually see what the problem was. As the CMS is downloaded from site there are two single_pages folders. One in the root, and one inside the "concrete" directory. The nested one is where the pre-installed single_pages are and where you should put your page.
root/concrete/single_pages/page
The instructions tell us to put it in the root, but I guess they don't mean the root of the site, pretty confusing.
Anyway I am doing fine with page types now, thanks!

No, the *core* single_pages are in /concrete/single_pages/
You should put your *custom* single_pages in /single_pages/, but they do have to be valid if you want any output (see:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/pages/single-page... )
So if you want a How page, you can either place it here:
/single_pages/how.php
or here:
/single_pages/how/view.php
Then you need to add it to the CMS:
Dashboard | Themes & Page Types | Single Pages. Find the "Add a Single Page" form at the bottom of the list, and enter "how" without the quotes. Do not include ".php" in the field.
Again, follow the directions from the link above.

Thank you for clarifying that.
