Getting Started

Create the root folder

In the root folder of your Joomla installation, create the following folder structure:

• joomlatools-pages
  • pages

Create your first page

To create a new page, simply go to your /pages directory and add a new file. In this example, we'll use the file hello.html but you can name it anything you like. Open the file in a text editor and paste the following snippet:

<h3>Hello World!</h3>
<p>Welcome to my new page.</p>

Now save this, and in your browser go to http://example.com/index.php/hello

If you have url rewriting enabled (recommended) in Joomla you can drop the /index.php and use http://example.com/hello

Creating the menu item

Note: Since Pages 0.17.0 following steps are optional.

In the administrator interface, go to your menu manager and create a new menu item. The Menu Item Type should be Pages > Default. Add the title and alias, making sure that the alias matches the file you created. For example:

• Title: Hello World
• Alias: hello
