Looking for library/Framework/Framework.Control.Page.php

HandyRandyIndy

Sorry, I'm a newbie. I am trying to begin developing a new extension, but am having trouble locating some information I need. On the "Developing New Extensions / Getting Started" page, it says: You can create completely custom controls and add them to the Page control (check out Library/Framework/Framework.Control.Page.php to see the Page control and all of it’s methods). Problem is, this page doesn't seem to exist. Where can I find information on the Page control? I want to add a new tab to the menu control, then execute my code to write to the page when that tab is selected. Confused in Indianapolis (where they are all going in circles right now)

use PAge MAnager . it will create a tab and allow u to enter ur php code that will be executed

I think that should be Framework.Class.Page.php.

It's kinda boring tho. Either do as Schizo suggested and use Page Manager, (or even use it's code) or look into creating PostBackControls to customize a tab.

Thanks MySchizoBuddy, I will look into that. I think that will help me test a few things out. Thanks also to WallPhone - I will read that section of the docs again, and the code in Page Manager. Based on my currently very imperfect understanding of how Vanilla works, I anticipate that a new PostBackControl will be the direction I will need to go to develop an extension.
