This works great with RC2, thanks @Mark for providing it. The instructions are pretty straight forward if your familiar with HTML. Here's how to use it:
1) Install and activate the plugin as usual. 2) After activation, use ftp to navigate to the folder "yoursite.com/plugins/custompages/pages/" 3) In that folder, there is a php file called "default.php" 4) Create a copy of that file and rename it to whatever you like (leave it in the same folder). 5) Open up your newly created file in a text editor (I always use notepad). 6) Edit the content however you like (easy if you know html). 7) Save. 8) Url to your new page will be located at "http://yoursite.com/plugin/page/pagenamehere"
Simple, really...the best part is that all works with no errors. The even better part is that this type of plugin has unlimited potential, because you can embed all sorts of neat things in your page, like music, videos, pictures, a twitter feed, whatever you want. If your really desperate you can even use an iframe to embed part of another webpage into your page. Cheers!
Hi, well followed the examples as told by raize and oliver, but i still cant get any custom page to show. I understand that it isnt as polished as a cms system, but i NEED a custom page to show, for the forum rules.
I have tried other things to do this (creating an html page ect) but so far nothing has worked. Is there anyway i can do this?

But beside that: thanks for the simple instructions! worked like a charm...
This assumes, you have already created a custom page as of @Raize 's instructions!- Go to the dashboard
- In the very bottom, click on the "Routes" menu
- Add a new route with the following information
- Expression: what you will see in the URL bar - f.eg. "about"
- Target: path to your custom page - f.eg. "/plugin/page/about"
- Type: internal
Now you can access your custom page via http://yourforum.com/about/(or if you have a webroot, via http://yourforum.com/forum/about/)
I've got all of that, and the page works, but is there any way I can add a Nav bar link to the new page? Like beside the Inbox?

Hi, I was successfully able to add a custom page to my website. But I still can't figure our a way to add multiple custom pages using this plugin.
Thanks.
Just keep on adding more pages with different names
by copyin the original default.php 
There was an error rendering this rich post.
Love the sound of this plugin. Does anyone have a working example up that they wouldn't mind sharing?
