Writing an Application

Benely

I'm following the "A Quick-Start Guide to Writing Applications in Vanilla" guide and got to the point of a "HomepageController" but some of the code is missing, so I guessed at:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

class HomepageController extends WelcomeController {
public function index() {
Render();
}
}

Sadly when I navigate to /welcome/homepage I get a "Page Not Found", am I doing something wrong or is it possible my application is not set up right?

Thanks for any help.

well then you will have to check through each and every step again
and i think you first line should be if you are making an application 'welcome'

class WelcomeController extends HomePageController {

sahotataran

if that is how you are adding it - it should go like this

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); ?> <br /> <?php class HomepageController extends WelcomeController { public function index() { Render(); } } ?>

note -
can not go as such in php

That's exactly how I have it, yet I get the Page Not Found, everything else is followed from the tutorial. I'm so confused!

I've managed to get the Controllers working and displaying my view file, but the view has no CSS attached to it. Is there an include I am missing?

Thanks.

Sorted the above! Now looking in how to create my own Category on the Dashboard if anyone has any answers for that.
