How to Create a Second-Level Custom Page?

[amos-n-andy]

Hi all !

 

It is really easy to set up a new custom page in Prestashop.

 

I’ll briefly reproduce this method for clarity:

1. Create initial page in your prestashop root folder  (e.g.  your-page-name.php). Fill it with this code: 

   <?php
   
   require(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');
   
   Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=your-page-name'.($_REQUEST ? '&'.http_build_query($_REQUEST, '', '&') : ''), __PS_BASE_URI__, null, 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');

2. Create controller in controllers/front/YourPageNameController.php. Fill in this code: 

   <?php
   
   class YourPageNameControllerCore extends FrontController
   {
   
     public $php_self = ' your-page-name ';
   
     public function setMedia()
     {
   		parent::setMedia();
   
   		$this->context->controller->addCSS(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.' your-page-name.css', 'all');
     }
   
     public function displayContent()
     {
   	parent::displayContent();
   	self::$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.' your-page-name.tpl');
     }
   
   }

3. Create view in themes/yourTheme/ your-page-name.tpl.

 

And voilà we have a new custom page which can be accessed like your-domain.fr/your-page-name

 

But the question is how to create a “second-level” link for another subsidiary custom page like: your-domain.fr/your-page-name/another-custom-page ?

 

P.S. I don’t really want to use Apache mod_rewrite for this purpose. Maybe this can be done with plain PHP methods? Like in Zend Framework where you can create actions for controller classes to achieve this link structure: your-domain.fr/controller-name/action-name/parameter1/value1/.../parameterN/valueN

Hi loulou66. Thanks for the reply.

 

Maybe I wasn't clear enough but the goal I want to achieve is the link to the 2nd page like domain.fr/blog/entry

 

Where blog is the 1st custom page and entry is the 2nd
