@Tama i think this is the answer for 2nd question. im using it. but i have no idea how to use it in plugin

This is my URL http://geek.lk/plugin/page/games i routed it to http://geek.lk/games

If you are looking to add a route pragmatically, check out SetRoute in class.router.php.

E.g:

$Router = Gdn::Router();
$Router->SetRoute('chanux', 'plugin/chanux', 'Internal');

I put the instructions on the plugin page , replace the setup function with this one. at the very end

public function Setup() {
  
             $matchroute = '^Chanux(/.*)?$';
             $target = 'plugin/Contact$1';
        
             if(!Gdn::Router()->MatchRoute($matchroute))
                  Gdn::Router()->SetRoute($matchroute,$target,'Internal'); 
          
    }

}

@vrijvlinder i tried and couldn't. you have created your plugin url without routing.

i mean domain.com/plugin/contact

i want to create a new plugin with custome page. when enable the plugin, should create a additional page like domain.com/plugin/chanux or domain.com/chanux

i dont want to use custome page plugin or Routing system. you created it using few lines in Default.php

could you help me to create my own page ??

@Chanux You can create a new "page" on any controller using the create magic method.

E.g:

public function PluginController_Chanux_Create($Sender) {
  // Do something
  $Sender->Render();
}

This will "create" a url at http://www.example.com/plugin/chanux.

I don't think so Chanux, I use it on 6 forums without problems and I used that code up there to route.

If it does not work you must have done something wrong. The link it under this function, you would need to change this part from contact to whatever. and also add the route code from above.

public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
        $Session = Gdn::Session();
       if ($Sender->Menu) {
           $Sender->Menu->AddLink('Contact',T('Contact'), 'plugin/Contact');
         }
