Single Pages from Package

Permalink
Hello! I am trying to add a single page from a package, but it does not appear to be loading the view.php template from the theme. It installs the page just fine but when I go the the page the code does not match the view.php template from the theme. Also, when I go to the sitemap page in the dashboard and click on the new Profile page and select "Design & Type", it does not show the "This is a single page..." warning on the Page Template and Page Type drop down. It will actually allow me to select a page template and type. So I think that Concrete5 doesn't see it as a single page.

Does anyone know why this might be?

In my package controller, I have this:
(packages/my_package/controller.php)
<?php
namespace Concrete\Package\MyPackage;
use Package;
use \Concrete\Core\Page as Page;
use \Concrete\Core\Page\Single as SinglePage;
class Controller extends Package
{
   protected $pkgHandle = 'my_package';
   public function install()
   {
       $pkg = parent::install();
       $path = '/profile';
           $page = Page::getByPath($path);
           if (!is_object($page) || $page->isError()) {
               SinglePage::add($path, $pkg);
Viewing 15 lines of 18 lines. View entire code block.


In my single page controller, I have this:
(packages/my_package/controllers/single_page/profile.php)
<?php
namespace Concrete\Package\MyPackage\Controller\SinglePage;
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
use Concrete\Core\Page\Controller\PageController;
use Concrete\Core\View\View;
use Concrete\Core\Page\Page;
class Profile extends PageController {
   public function view() 
   {
      $this->set('test','The profile controller is connected');
   }
}


In the single page view, I have this:
(packages/my_package/single_page/profile.php)
<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied."); ?>
<div class="profile-page">
  <div class="container">
    <h2><?php echo $c->getCollectionName(); ?></h2>
    <?php echo 'controller test: '.$test; ?>
  </div>
</div>


I have a class in the view.php file in the theme that I am looking for, but it is not in the code, nor does anything from the view output to the screen. I have even tried adding a die() statement in both the controller and the view, but it doesn't affect the rendered output. If I uninstall the package and then move the controller and the view out of the package and into the Application folder and adjust the namespace properly. I can install them through the Single Page dashboard page and they work correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please note the view file must be in packages/my_package/single_pages/profile.php - see the 'single_pages' is plural! While the controller is in 'single_page' singular.

Please also have a look at that thread - pay attention to the file, folder, class and namespace names:

And have a look at the skeleton package I've created, see how it's all done there:

linuxoid,

Thank you so much! I spent way too much time trying to figure this out. Looks like I just missed the "s" to make single_pages plural like you said.

Thanks again!
