XF 2.2 How can I add any webpage as a "page node" ? I get error if I did link it to a /page/...

Hi!

How can I add any webpage as a page node?
If I create a page node and simply insert any page link I get an error "Please enter a value using only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - and _ characters."

But if I add any value it will direct me under myxenforo.com/page/ site...

The only way would be to embed the page as an iframe.

Page nodes are designed for content hosted on your own site, not others.

If you want to link to an external URL, use a link node.

There's still some weirdness with forum/node naming... In your case, it's called a Link forum (it probably should be called a Link node). You can find it under XF Admin -> Forums (also probably not the right title imo) -> Nodes -> Add node
