db.xml for single page

Permalink
How can one add a database table for a single page? I want to send out email from the module and when the mail is sent, I want it to record when the mail was sent out and then to produce a list of all the mail sent out reflecting the date the mail was sent.

You could add it as a basic package, when a package is installed a db.xml is parsed and database tables are created accordingly

simple package structure can be

myPackage/controller/myPage.php
myPackage/single_pages/myPage.php
myPackage/db.xml
myPackage/controller.php

the controller in the package root simply contains install information

defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
class HelloWorldPackage extends Package {
     protected $pkgHandle = 'hello_world';
     protected $appVersionRequired = '5.3.0';
     protected $pkgVersion = '1.0';
     public function getPackageDescription() {
          return t("Just an example package that says Hello World.");
     }
     public function getPackageName() {
          return t("Hello World");
     }
     public function install() {
          $pkg = parent::install();
          Loader::model('single_page');
          SinglePage::add('/myPage', $pkg);
