Creating New Pages

​
Static or Noarticle Pages

  1. Add the new page URL to the routes configuration.
  2. If you want to use the Noarticle type, you can adjust the getNoarticleInfo function in the Frontend_Data class.
  3. Add a function that loads the view to the respective controller. Here you can define all model functions and data necessary for your page. The name of the function should be the same as the URL specified in routes.
  4. Use the load_view function where you specify common items that load on every page.
  5. Create a new PHP file for your view in the views folder.

​
Detail Pages for Articles

  1. Edit the detail function in the Frontend Controller. This function is applied whenever you try to open a URL that is not defined in routes.
  2. Use getArticleInfo and define entity type-specific info within the switcher of those functions. You will find it in Frontend_Data.
  3. Define modules you want to use, create new ones for your articles as needed.

​
Common Functionality

  • The getNoarticleInfo and getArticleInfo functions by default retrieve teaser images and set the correct language.
  • Specify any new Article or Noarticle entity type in constants.
