How To Create A Custom New Layout Page

Multi-Vendor Questions
1

Hello, I am trying to create a page that would hold all of the items we are currently running promotions on. I would like a page and then a block in that page that has items manually selected. I went to layout section of the admin panel, created a new layout page and set the dispatch to be promotions.view. However when I try to visit the new page at https://domain.com/index.php?dispatch=promotions.viewI get the 404 page instead. How can I access the new layout page I created.

You should create a template for this page. For example, use My changes module and create the following template

design/themes/responsive/templates/addons/my_changes/views/promotions/view.tpl

You should create a template for this page. For example, use My changes module and create the following template

design/themes/responsive/templates/addons/my_changes/views/promotions/view.tpl

I have tried as you suggested above, I created a tpl file in the location below

design/themes/responsive/templates/addons/my_changes/views/promotx/view.tpl

I then visited the url below but still got a 404

http://arch.test/index.php?dispatch=promotx.view

The new layout page config is below 

Dispatch: Custom promotx.view
Name: Promo

view.tpl content

<table width="100%" border="0">
table>

I would have attached the new page layout below as well but the forum doesnt let me . I have cleared cache as well as disabled and re-enabled the my_changes addon but no luck yet.

Any further assistance is appreciated

I have been able to resolve my issue as described above by adding the required controller as described here https://forum.cs-cart.com/topic/62407-how-to-create-and-access-front-end-page-of-an-addon/

However I cannot seem to get the blocks that were added in the admin section to show up on the page am I missing something ?

Yes, controller is required. Did you add the Main content block to the new layout page?

Yes I did but on closes inspection there was a spelling error in the dispatch for the new page, I corrected it and now everything works as intended. Thank you for the help
