Hello. I have some questions:
1. I want to create new pages like a newsletter. I put a file with the code of newsletter in templates/newsletter.tpl. I open index.php to add a link to that file, but where? :) I want something like shop_directory/index.php?p=Newsletter
2. I can create customized page? I want a page product with category menu at left and a page without that menu, like the first page on a website with new promotions. When i click on Products, in a menu, appears ProductList with that menu
3. I want to remove the "add to cart" button with a flash button. What to modify?
Thanks :)

mad - create link in page.tpl in top menu for example and create if in index.php for example:

before it: if( is_file( $sActionFile ) )
this is answer for first question ... one problem = one topic

This is for treewood - I understand how to place an extra link in the top menu, but as far as where the rest of it is concerned???

I have a .html page as .php (I'm assuming that the index.php will only load a php file into itself. Or do I generate a html file and call it newsletter.tpl?

You state that adding an if statement will do a call to the page? ( // here put something) is that the entire page code?

I'm lost - really - can you post an example? this would really help a lot

Let me know

in page.tpl you see this code

<ul>$sContentsMenu
<li><a href="?p=productsList">$lang[products]</a></li>
<li><a href="?p=ordersBasket">$lang[basket]</a></li>

if you wont add one more page
add this

<li><a href="?p=productsList">$lang[products]</a></li>
<li><a href="?p=ordersBasket">$lang[basket]</a></li>
<b>
<a href="YOUR URL PAGE.COM ">Newsletter</a></b></li>
<li><b>

Wait a minute... if the js file is using ... [ if( $p == 'Newsletter' ) ]

by placing a direct call to a "url page.com" is defeating the purpose of the script in the index.php page (right?) then, by simply hiding a page (using a script in the core) the same effect would be established.

But, the link in the menu would not be using the "?p=" function? - As I mentioned before, I know how to place a link in the menu to another page -- (its the page itself AND the corresponding link thats a little ambiguos). Did you not see where treewood was going? He was suggesting to setup a page.tpl called "newsletter" and have it load via the ?p= call, somewhat similar to extra sub-pages from the menu itself.

Generating the right ".tpl page" is the key, as well as the link, the correct string I guess is also critical, also as mentioned.

Thanks for the thought, though :-)

Read the original note that mad posted;

Quick Summary - Mad want s to create a new page for newsletter in a new file called newsletter.tpl, but it doesnt show - Treewood tells him to place the info in a script inside the index.php (if I read that right), but doesnt tell him how to access it - so I ask how. You tell me to place a link to a different (new) page in the menu (why the different way, I dont know). So I explain to you about the first two posts, and you now ask me to explain about the script??

If I knew about this why would I be asking? I think this is getting to be the blind leading the blind.

Forgive me this, but are you only reading the last inserts into this thread?
