1. Create controller filename

app/addons/[ADDON_NAME]/controllers/frontend/[CONTROLLER_NAME].php

2. Create template view + content

design/themes/[THEME_NAME]/templates/addons/[ADDON_NAME]/views/[CONTROLLER_NAME]/[VIEW_NAME].tpl

# add content



#Example:

ADDON_NAME=my_changes
CONTROLLER_NAME=custom_page
THEME_NAME=responsive
VIEW_NAME=view

#Files

app/addons/my_changes/controllers/frontend/custom_page.php
design/themes/responsive/templates/addons/my_changes/views/custom_page/view.tpl

#URL

http://www.example.com/?dispatch=custom_page.view

Hello,

The controller issue is now resolve. Now when we are trying to use Registry::set('addons.demo.test', 'some value'); then the value is not reflected in our addon setting page. So please let us know if there is any issue.

Thanks!
