How to create additional text pages?

Question

opencart

Opencart has standard pages like about us, contacts, etc. (templates in information/*.tpl) . The question is how to create more such pages. I have about 10 text ones (with different designs), but in standard opencart there are much fewer available ones.

Answer 1

If the design of the blocks (header, footer) is the same - insert the layout directly into the studio in the admin panel.
If the page is completely different from the main site, then I would make a field in the information, a checkbox of the "own layout" type, and in the controller I would display a separate template file for my layout, something like:

if ($svoya_verstka) {
$this->response->setOutput($this->load->view('information/information_empty', $data)); // наш файл шаблона
} else {
$this->response->setOutput($this->load->view('information/information', $data));
}

Well, accordingly, in the information_empty template - I would leave only the output of the article content: And I also added the layout to the admin panel ... ----------------- If you want something then type contact.tpl - that is, for all 10 designs - 10 template files - then just copy the contact.tpl structure (controller, template file, and language file) - and change contact everywhere - to your own identifier, type design1.tpl for the file template, and design1.php - for the controller and language, and in the controller, you will also have to replace contact with design1 everywhere and so on 10 times ...))
