Have you searched for your problem: (yes/no) Yes
If so, what terms did you try: submission, submission.php
State the nature of your problem:
When in the FAQ, having accessed it by clicking on "Help" in the main menu, you cannot access the "Submissions Guidelines" when you click on the hyperlink under that question.
When you get when clicking on the link is:
Not Found
The requested URL /eFiction35/submission.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
However, when you are in the CSSZen skin and click on "Rules" from the Home (CSSZen skin being the only one of the three that has shows this link by the way) you are taken to the Submission guidelines.
Note: I have searched the eFiction directories and can find no trace of a file called submission.php, neither did I find it when I tried greping the zip file.
Do you have a test account for us? I do now.

It's an easy fix. Go into your admin panel, click on custom pages, then help. If you have tinymce installed, the content of your help page will open in an editable field. Highlight "Submission Guidelines" and click the button that looks like a chain link. Change the path from submission.php to viewpage.php?page=rules.
That will fix your problem.

Thank you. This was exactly what I needed. Once I made the change, as you suggested, there was no problem at all accessing the Submission Guidelines.
Again, thank you for your very precise instructions.
