I am currently doing some development around policies and having a few issues.
1. I cannot seem to find the page which is used to render the Customer Service Policy. I have checked through all the usual suspects in the site root but so far I have been unable to find where it is used.
2. When a new policy is created there is no option to specify a custom URL. So how can you link to the new policy page? I have check to see if anything has been added to the db table bvc_CustomUrl just encase, but unfortunately no entries are added.
I know most people probably create a new custom page and do it that way, but 2 makes policies implementation look a bit incomplete, especially as you can delete system policies.

I don't think policies were ever intended to be used as pages, since Custom Pages already handle that. I think they were intended to be more like content-managed 'snippets' that could be programmatically inserted into one or more pages. |

That's good. I had it listed in my unit tests but couldn't find away of testing it. Originally Posted by: Aaron

I always thought they were literately for those key documents which every eCommerce site should have accessible to their customers. Listing them under policies rather than custom pages was a method of further separating the two whist emphasising there mandatory nature. I always assumed the blocks part was just for ease of formatting and adding items to what could be a very long document if the html was inserted in its entirety. Just goes to show. Every day is a school day.
