How to add custom page ?

Post by filippo » Wed Sep 09, 2009 5:19 pm

Hello!
First of all thanks for great CMS ! Everything is fine, but one thing that imho should be added in next releases is support for custom pages. I can do it via Information Module and then link the page with heading menu but then that page will be also visible in Information box. What I am trying to acomplish is to create new custom page and link it with head menu (custom page with breadcumb and box with title, not entirely new page). Is there some fast way to do this ?

OK, I think I found solution. If anybody had similar problem here is the answer (only front-end):

Step 1:
Create folder structure for Controller, View and Language layer

Controller: catalog/controller/custom
View: catalog/view/theme/default/template/custom
Language: catalog/language/custom

Step 2:
Put files with desired name to each folder, in my example it is 'serwis'

Controller: catalog/controller/custom/serwis.php

Code: Select all

<?php  
class ControllerCustomSerwis extends Controller {
	public function index() {
		$this->language->load('custom/serwis');
		
		$this->document->title 			= $this->language->get('heading_title');
		
		$this->document->breadcrumbs = array();

   		$this->document->breadcrumbs[] = array(
       		'href'      => $this->url->http('common/home'),
       		'text'      => $this->language->get('text_home'),
      		'separator' => FALSE
   		);
		
		$url = '';
				
		if (isset($this->request->get['page'])) {
			$url .= '&page=' . $this->request->get['page'];
		}	
			
   		$this->document->breadcrumbs[] = array(
       		'href'      => $this->url->http('custom/serwis' . $url),
       		'text'      => $this->language->get('heading_title'),
      		'separator' => $this->language->get('text_separator')
   		);
		
		$this->data['heading_title'] 	= $this->language->get('heading_title');
		$this->data['heading_text']		= $this->language->get('heading_text');
		$this->id       				= 'content';
		$this->template 				= $this->config->get('config_template') . 'custom/serwis.tpl';
		$this->layout   				= 'common/layout';
		
		$this->render();
	}
}
?>
View: catalog/view/theme/default/template/custom/serwis.tpl:

Code: Select all

<div class="top">
  <h1><?php echo $heading_title; ?></h1>
</div>
<div class="middle">
  <div><?php echo $heading_text; ?></div>
  
</div>
<div class="bottom">&nbsp;</div>
Language: catalog/language/english/custom/serwis.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Heading 
$_['heading_title'] = 'Serwis i usługi';

//Content
$_['heading_text'] = 'Welcomeeee';
?>
Step 3:
Change 'serwis' to desired name (filename and inside files), 'default' to your template name and 'english' to your language folder.

Step 4:
Modify variable 'heading_title in language file to set title of page and box.
Modify variable 'heading_text' in language file and put heading content for your custom page.
You can easly create new variables and put more content.

Step 5:
Put link to your new custom page anywhere you want, in my example it will be: index.php?route=custom/serwis

Thats all.

Hello,

Thanks for the post. I know it's been a while since the original post was created, but I'm attempting creating a custom page in 1.4.9.4. I tried using the code provided, but I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function http() on a non-object in /home/clover13/public_html/store/catalog/controller/custom/help.php on line 11
line 11:

Code: Select all

'href'      => $this->url->http('common/home'),
catalog/controller/custom/help.php:

Code: Select all

<?php 
class ControllerCustomHelp extends Controller {
   public function index() {
      $this->language->load('custom/help');
      
      $this->document->title          = $this->language->get('heading_title');
      
      $this->document->breadcrumbs = array();

         $this->document->breadcrumbs[] = array(
             'href'      => $this->url->http('common/home'),
             'text'      => $this->language->get('text_home'),
            'separator' => FALSE
         );
      
      $url = '';
            
      if (isset($this->request->get['page'])) {
         $url .= '&page=' . $this->request->get['page'];
      }   
         
         $this->document->breadcrumbs[] = array(
             'href'      => $this->url->http('custom/help' . $url),
             'text'      => $this->language->get('heading_title'),
            'separator' => $this->language->get('text_separator')
         );
      
      $this->data['heading_title']    = $this->language->get('heading_title');
      $this->data['heading_text']      = $this->language->get('heading_text');
      $this->id                   = 'content';
      $this->template             = $this->config->get('config_template') . 'custom/help.tpl';
      $this->layout               = 'common/layout';
      
      $this->render();
   }
}
?>
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

If you just want to create a page you could always make a new "Information" page in Admin and then set the sort order to -1 so it doesn't show up the the Information box (if this is what you want).

I heart cmd-f, cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-z + vQmod.
My favourite page...
v1.5.4.1

For the opencart 1.5.2.1... I fixed some problem
catalog\controller\custom\serwis.php change to as follow...

Code: Select all

<?php  
class ControllerCustomSerwis extends Controller {
   public function index() {
      $this->language->load('custom/serwis');
      
      $this->document->setTitle($this->language->get('heading_title'));
      
      $this->document->breadcrumbs = array();

         $this->document->breadcrumbs[] = array(
             'href'      => $this->url->link('common/home'),
             'text'      => $this->language->get('text_home'),
            'separator' => FALSE
         );
     
      $url = '';
            
      if (isset($this->request->get['page'])) {
         $url .= '&page=' . $this->request->get['page'];
      }   
         
         $this->document->breadcrumbs[] = array(
             'href'      => $this->url->link('custom/serwis' . $url),
             'text'      => $this->language->get('heading_title'),
            'separator' => $this->language->get('text_separator')
         );
      
      $this->data['heading_title']    = $this->language->get('heading_title');
      $this->data['heading_text']      = $this->language->get('heading_text');
      $this->id                   = 'content';
      $this->template             = $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/custom/serwis.tpl';
      $this->layout               = 'common/layout';
      
     $this->response->setOutput($this->render());
   }
}
?>

Hi does anyone know hot to add a rewrite to the .htaccess file to direct a forward slash domain address to redirect to the ?route=landingpage/wty address so I can simplify the custom page link for publications/advertising etc?

Thanks for your help.
