Example: creating an 'About Us' page

1. Create a file called about.tpl place in templates folder where main.tpl is etc

about.tpl to contain:

{capture name="title"} - {l}About{/l}{/capture} 
{capture assign="in_page_title"}{l}About{/l}{/capture} 
{capture assign="description"}{l}About Us{/l}{/capture} 
{include file="header.tpl"} 
{include file="top_bar.tpl"}
 
 
Your Content Here.
 
 
{include file="footer.tpl"}

2. Create a file called about.php, place in root where index.php is etc.

about.php to contain:

<?php 
require_once './init.php'; 
 
$path = array (); 
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('SITE_NAME'), 'TITLE_URL' => DOC_ROOT, 'DESCRIPTION' => ''); 
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('About'), 'TITLE_URL' => '', 'DESCRIPTION' => _L('About')); 
$tpl->assign($data); 
$tpl->assign('path', $path); 
echo $tpl->fetch('about.tpl'); 
?>

Notice about.php fetches about.tpl (at the bottom)


3. Call the new page up by placing destination link wherever you want to place it, like this:

<a href="{$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/about.php">About Us</a>

You can use this template process for any other new pages you wish to create.

I have not tried this, but I would imagine it should work.

Just put your folders in the templates folder. Then in the code for the php file in the root, change the fetch to look like I have it.

<?php
require_once './init.php';

$path = array ();
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('Home'), 'TITLE_URL' => DOC_ROOT, 'DESCRIPTION' => '');
$path[] = array ('ID' => '0', 'TITLE' => _L('About'), 'TITLE_URL' => '', 'DESCRIPTION' => _L('About'));
$tpl->assign($data);
$tpl->assign('path', $path);
echo $tpl->fetch('foldername/about.tpl');
?>

Why Did I Get That? I Changed The Codes Like What's Instructed

Try deleting the template files from the /temp/templates folder. It's ok you can do this.

[Neticus]

Have you done this in the INSTALL.txt:

Upload the files in the archive to your host.
Change permissions on the following file and four folders to 777
include/config.php
temp/
temp/adodb
temp/cache
temp/templates
If the folders do not exist please create them.
