Hi. I can't figure out how to view on the front end some pages in Page Builder of the admin back end.
There's nothing that is "self explanatory" in Page Builder to show you how to do this.
For example, I have a page called "Wall" in Page Builder, I assume as a Page it is accessible by:
http://www.example.com/page/wall
but when I got there the page is there, without any of the blocks displayed like "Post To Timeline" and "Timeline". I know it's the right page though.
Other pages in Page Builder I wouldn't have a clue how to see in the front page without hunting around the front end trying to find them (many I can't).
Any advice how to do this properly? or could we work out the front end URL's used in Page Builder an easier way?
Thanks.

When you add a new page in Page Builder, editing that page displays a View Page link.
I have often thought that a link should be on all Page Builder pages but it wouldn't be practical because they're not all 'pages' in their own right; rather some act as 'container templates' for a whole collection of pages, like 'Listings'.
My workaround was to copy all the links when adding new modules and matching them up to the edit pages.
I then bookmark the ones I tend to access regularly to easily compare edits with the end result.

Hi TavelNotes. OK that makes sense. For the pages I have created I see the "View Page" link. For the core ones (or ones from modules) the View Page isn't there, which is what was confusing.
I've spent the last two days updating every single page of the site, and some of them I couldn't identify on the front end which is where that question came from.
Thanks again.

You're well ahead of me. I'm still dipping in and out, and tickling around.
It's starting to take shape, but lots more to do before adding the 'real content' and taking the project to where we want it to go.

It takes months and months of effort, time and learning, and that is normal, nothing special about that. Don't be discouraged, keep at it, it'll continue to take shape. |

I found the simplest way to keep track of my page locations was to develop a spread sheet where i copied all my pages listed under page builder .....then copied the corresponding page links to the spread sheet as and when i found them.... now when i need to access a page to view I open the spread sheet and click. its time consuming... but helps me track everything related the that page

Why not use the sitemap to list all linkable pages.

I have no Idea as to how the site map works... i checked the site map under tools its enabled but beyond that i have no clue.
the spreadsheet allows me to also track progress of other jobs that need completing for each page too.

You can get the URLs by opening each .xml file on the sitemap.xml
http://meta-travel.com/sitemap.xml
When I first started using Content Management Systems (CMS) we had a Sitemap Generator that produced both XML file and an HTML page of links.
It didn't look very good but gave the search engines the trails they like.

I have that ugly page... i thought that maybe something wasn't right cus it isn't pretty to look at.... is there a way to pretty it up so that users can use it to find pages?

Unless there's a mod on the market, it takes some leg work. This is how I did it.

Thanks - that actually not a bad idea adding it to a block like you did.
