I was wondering if there's a way to show particular page's content instead of a menu. I want to display some simple non-linked information below the $sMenu3. I've created a custom info.tpl and added variable name in the container.tpl. Admin back-end shows me this position for menu items, but I can't figure out how to attach a particular page content to be displayed instead of a menu. I've tried throwPage but I can't fully understand how it works, so it didn't help.

So far I managed to print out $aData[sDescriptionShort] from my custom info.tpl to the div I wanted, but somehow $aData[sDescriptionFull] doesn't work. Anyone could appoint a hint what I'm doing wrong?
info.tpl:
<!-- BEGIN LIST -->$aData[sDescriptionShort] <!-- END LIST --> <!-- BEGIN HEAD --><!-- END HEAD --> <!-- BEGIN FOOT --><!-- END FOOT --> <!-- BEGIN HEAD_SUB --><!-- END HEAD_SUB --> <!-- BEGIN FOOT_SUB --><!-- END FOOT_SUB --> <!-- BEGIN SELECTED -->class="selected"<!-- END SELECTED -->
I am not sure I understand You well but if You want to display full description of specific page You can edit file templates/themes/default.php and add code like this:
$aDataPage20 = $oPage->throwPage( 20 );
Value 20 is ID of page You have to change it. After that in file templates/container.tpl You can add variable: $aDataPage20[sDescriptionFull] which contains full description of page which You choosen.

That worked like a charm, many thanks!
But there's another problem. I've previously installed CKEditor and it's doing fine for regular pages, but as for this case with $aDataPage20 = $oPage->throwPage( 20 ); it shows on my div:
|n| |n| Full description of page (id=20) |n|
It seems that CKEditor is being missinterpretated (puts a |n| on each line) in the mentioned throwPage() method, since normal content is rendered correctly. I've double-checked this by uninstalling this CKEditor - then both ordinary content pages and this "$aDataPage20 = $oPage->throwPage( 20 )" case shows correctly. Any ideas where's the problem?
|n| is the line-break that QC uses internally. It's just that this line doesn't take it into account when storing the content into $aDataPage20: $aDataPage20 = $oPage->throwPage( 20 );
it should be something like: $aDataPage20 = str_replace( '|n|', "\n", $oPage->throwPage( 20 ) );
Or if you want to instruct the browser to display the line breaks, just insert <br /> instead of line breaks.
