How to create custom page and set page_name without using CMS

[n13design]

I want to create a custom group of pages in prestashop.  I don't want to use the CMS pages because they limit too much.  I want to basically create a custom one column page.  We are using prestashop 1.6.

 

The problem is that I can't get the page_name variable to work.  I get an empty id and class in the body tag.  What do I need to do to set the name of the page so that the body tag will show the proper id and class? 

 

I created a custom-page.php in the root prestashop folder

<?php
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/header.php');
 
$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'custom-page.tpl');
 
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/footer.php');

I then created CustomPageController.php in the override>controllers>front folder

<?php
class CustomPageController extends FrontController{
    
    public $php_self = 'custom-page'; 
	 
    public function init(){
	parent::init();
    }
 
    public function initContent(){
        parent::initContent();
        $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'custom-page.tpl');
    }
}

I then created the template file in the theme folder

<h1>Custom Page</h1>

I suggest looking at the contact-form page as your reference, copying it and changing the names would work.

If you are using a class that needs to write to the DB, you will need to create a new table for it.

Hello geys this solution work perfectlly with override also.

1/ in the folder /override create page manufacturer-detail.php and put this code:

 

include(dirname(FILE).'/config/config.inc.php'); Controller::getController('ManufacturerDetailController')->run();

Tools::displayFileAsDeprecated();

include(dirname(FILE).'/header.php');

$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'manufacturer-detail.tpl');

include(dirname(FILE).'/footer.php');

2/ In the folder /override/controllers/front create page manufacturerDetailController.php and put this code:

/*public $php_self = 'manufacturer-detail';  */  /* optional */

public function init(){ 
    parent::init(); 
} 

public function initContent(){ 
    parent::initContent(); 
    $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'manufacturer-detail.tpl'); 
} 

 /*  The following code portion is optional.

* Remove the double-slashes to activate the portion * if you want to use external stylesheet and JavaScript for the page. * Create the CSS and JS files in the css and js directories of the theme accordingly */

//public function setMedia(){
  //parent::setMedia();
  //$this->addCSS(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'custom-page.css');
  //$this->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'custom-page.js');
