No option to "View" page

[Steve_Stifler]

I have created a template called "Blank-Page" which just has a "Title" field as I wanted to put some code in to create a full page video background, which I have created a file for.

I have applied the template to the page "Coming Soon" and there is no option to "View" the page. The other pages allow me to but this one.

When go to your template (Blank-Page), you should see a yellow bar like this:

So, did you follow the hints from the two other variants of this question? Reading the docs, creating a template file named "Blank-Page.php" in your site/templates folder and placed your code there?

Here is a good one which I recommend for @Steve_Stifler to get started: https://www.pwtuts.com/processwire-tutorials/alternate-template-strategy-using-a-single-output-file/

I linked to this one this time because it also explains a simple strategy to get organized right from the beginning. The only thing I would do differently is that using relative paths in PHP can be cumbersome for beginners, so for example instead of this:

include("./views/{$page->template->name}" . ".php");

I would use:

include $config->paths->templates . "/views/{$page->template->name}" . ".php";

OK guys, thanks for this. I have just realised I have been a bit lazy in not doing the tutorials first, more just finding something when I hit a road block. I've just had a look through the tutorial list. I've never seen a tutorial so organised and also right from the beginning.

I'm going to learn some stuff so I can give you guys something harder to help me with.

Thanks again Legends.

JA.
