You should read Prestashop Docs > Diving into PrestaShop Core Development > Controllers

 

To understand the working flow about how prestashop displaying a page, can be studied by creating a new page, for example create a new page "my-page"

 

1. Create new controller file "MyPageController.php" and placed inside /controllers/front/

contents :

<?php

class MyPageControllerCore extends FrontController
{
    public $php_self = 'my-page';
    public $auth = true;
    public $ssl = true;

    public function initContent()
    {
        parent::initContent();

        $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'my_page.tpl');
    }
}

2. Create template file "my_page.tpl" and placed inside /themes/YOUR_THEME/

contents :

{capture name=path}{l s='My Page'}{/capture}

<h1 class="page-heading">{l s='My Page'}</h1>
<div class="container">
    {l s='Hello World ...'}
</div>

3. Delete file /cache/class_index.php

4. Go to Back Office > Preferences > SEO & URL >> Add New Page

• Page : mypagecontroller (required)
• Page title : My Page (optional)
• Rewritten URL : my-page (required)

5. Finally you can view the result on your Prestashop with this URL http://YOUR_DOMAIN/index.php?controller=my-page
