What's the quickest way to create a new page?

**Ringodestarr** · 02-13-2007

Yes.

For example, main.html contains content like this:

<html>
<head>
<%ciss_lma%>
</head>
<body>
Search For <%search_box%>
blah blah . . lots of more contet just like the line above with <%_%>'s
</body>
</head>
</text>

When I copy this into my new page_155.html

All I see is this:

Search For

But I don't see the actual search box that should be showing, or any of the other <%> variables

This is problem was exactly the case I was referring to with my initial question when I asked:

PHP Code:


$_page['name_index']     = 13;

so that is points to a file in a different directory?

Thanks in advance

The answer is in Smoge's response, but because I still suck at php and I didn't feel confident to start creating new function parameters, I had to find another work around. In my case it worked, but then mine was a something simple, I needed it to point to a script for a games console that was contained in its own folder along with all the games it came with. For what you need I'm not sure. Also remember you need to insert the header and footer parts of your template so that you will see them in the design layout of your page. I myself still need to learn how to create a new function to call from other templates myself as my site expands, work arounds like what I used don't allow for the flexibility for use of other templates such as the one you speak off. Sorry I could help more, but you may find Smoge's response helps depending on your level of experience with php.

Just for further clarity should others need it, this is what you would put in your newly created page - page_newpage.html

HTML Code:

__include _header.html__

<div class="db_1_block">
		<div class="caption">
			<div class="title">__page_header_text__</div>
		</div>
		<div class="container">
			<div class="clear_both"></div>
### In here is where you would add the content of you want to see in 
your page eg:  <p align=justify>Hello world!!</p>#####
			</div>
			<div class="clear_both"></div>
		<div class="clear_both"></div>
		</div>
		<div class="foot">
</div>
	</div>
	<div class="clear_both"></div>
__include _footer.html__
			</div>

Thanks! I think there is a lot of good info here. It gives me hope lol.

I still will need to figure out how to take it that one step further. php is very new to me. Most of what I have learned has been through speed reading on line tutorials and here on modmysite.

But thanks for taking time to explain all of this, it gives me a good start and an understanding of what is going on.
