Hi, What is the URL of the “static pages” ( edx-platform/lms/templates/static_templates at release-ulmo · edx/edx-platform · GitHub ) ? I cannot find them. Do they require a special MFE ?

@arbrandes mind weighing in on this one?

Replied on another thread. Unless Product says otherwise, I don’t think those templates are ever going to be ported.

(Disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion as a developer.) Giving operators the ability to present arbitrary externally-hosted content sandwiched between the existing header and footer does makes sense. And yes, an iframed page would solve that. As a matter of fact, this will be explicitly po…

Thanks @arbrandes - to be clear, this won’t be possible in Verawood for the learning MFE though, yes?

I think I found them, they are not under an MFE. Apparently at edx.<domain>/about and such.
