[Koha] Adding pages to Koha OPAC - Koha as a CMS

[library at ssst.edu.ba]

Hello all, 

I need some help with adding new pages to Koha. From what I gathered, we can use additional pages available through the Administration > System preferences > OPAC to add information about the library, libguides, etc. However, when I tried adding pages, I got the error 404 when I tried opening the newly added page in OPAC (both default and current language), but the page is visible in the Librarian interface. 

I googled Koha pages, found instructions on using Koha as a CMS on "KohaGeek" https://kohageek.blogspot.com/2016/09/koha-as-cms.html and on "Solution For Library Management" blogs https://atulhbch.wordpress.com/2019/05/24/koha-as-a-web-page-koha-as-cms/, followed those but I still get an error message. 

[The reason I used those blogs instead of say, https://koha-community.org/manual/21.11/en/html/extending_koha.html#using-koha-as-a-content-management-system-cms is because they list what commands to use instead of just saying copy this file to here. I then have to google which command is used to copy something using the terminal, which makes it *very frustrating* to follow any instructions on the official pages. I think there's a lot of users such as myself who have no Linux or programming experience and no support. It would be useful to already have the commands listed in the instructions.]

Also, I just realized that Koha as a CMS instructions are missing from the manual for 22.11, which is the version I'm testing (Koha 22.11.01 on my work server, and Koha 22.11.02 on my personal laptop). Is there a reason this was removed, and how do I get pages to show up in the OPAC? Thank you in advance!

Best regards

Aida Đikić
