Is there any way for SS to generate pages that aren't in one of the menus?

Thx Dani. I

Ive added a new page as a cms page without remaking the whole SS site. Its works for me, but may or may not work for you.

I copied one my generated pages (eg aboutus.php as departments.php for example). In Dreamweaver with the departments.php open, I changed all 'About Us' PowerCMS Connections to 'Departments' in the title, meta description and meta keywords. Then I changed all the module positions php code e.g.

<?php echo WA_getCMSContent............ 'About Us' , 'leftmodule'); ?>

changed to

<?php echo WA_getCMSContent............'Departments' , 'leftmodule'); ?>

Then basically running an SQL statement in phpMyAdmin by copying and pasting the page values of an existing content from my site's exported db (pcms2_contents) table back into phyMyAdmin and run it as an SQL statement:


INSERT INTO `pcms2_contents` (`ContentID`, `ContentGroup`, `ContentRefID`, `ContentUserID`, `ContentValue`, `ContentDate`, `ContentPageName`, `ContentPageSetParentID`, `ContentPageSetOrder`, `ParentID`) VALUES
(13, 'Departments', 'meta-title', 0, 'Areas We Cover', '2010-10-31 22:50:48', NULL, NULL, NULL, 1),
(14, 'Departments', 'meta-description', 0, '', '2010-10-31 22:50:48', NULL, NULL, NULL, 1),
(15, 'Departments', 'meta-keywords', 0, '', '2010-10-31 22:50:48', NULL, NULL, NULL, 1),
(16, 'Departments', 'content', 0, '<h1>Page Title Goes Here</h1>title goes here', '2010-10-31 22:50:48', 'departments.php', NULL, NULL, 1),
(17, 'Departments', 'leftmodule', 0, '', '2010-10-31 22:50:48', NULL, NULL, NULL, 1)

I tested the new page, seems to work without any errors.

Please can you tell me are there be any complications doing it this way?
