Creating a new Page Controller

[John]

Hi, there!
Today I want to tell you how to create a new page with PHP and SMARTY controllers. This thread can be very helpful for all who have web development skills. Say if you need a new page for support, you can start with the following:

1. Go to the admin panel >> pages and click on the "Add Page" button;
2. Fill in fields, whatever is applicable; although there are two the most important fields:
a. "Page type" - select "System"
b. "Page controller" - type "support"
3. Then create two controllers (PHP and SMARTY) for a new system page:
1. Create a new file and call it "support.inc.php" where "support" is our controller name from "add new page" manager. Upload the new file to: /includes/controllers/ on your web server.
2. Create a new file and call it "support.tpl" where "support" is our controller name from "add new page" manager. Upload the new file to: /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl/controllers/ on your web server.

Done! Now your new php controller file is empty; you can leave it empty if you don't have anything to add to it. The smarty controller file is empty as well but this file is responsible for your layout; you can add an html or smarty code to it.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here, I would gladly reply to them.
