📄 Creating a New Page

PurifyFlat uses simple PHP files as pages. Each page follows the same structure and shares common layout components.

Example: Creating a partners page.

Create a new file named partners.php in your project root.
Paste the following content:

<?php

define('DIR_ACCESS', true); // Allow access for visitors

// Include the main configuration
include_once __DIR__ . '/inc/config.php';

// Set up basic page variables
$url = rtrim($cfg_mainurl, '/') . '/partners';
$title = $cfg_name . " - Partners";
$desc = "Partners page description";

// Include URL handler and layout components
include_once __DIR__ . '/inc/url.php';
include_once __DIR__ . '/inc/head.php';
include_once __DIR__ . '/inc/navbar.php';

?>
<!-- Content Start -->

<!-- HTML CONTENT GOES HERE -->

<!-- Content End -->

<?php include_once __DIR__ . '/inc/footer.php'; ?>

🎨 Theme Development

PurifyFlat does not enforce a strict theme system.
Instead, it provides a layout-based structure that allows you to customize or replace core UI components such as the navbar, footer, and page layouts.

Themes are created by editing or overriding layout files inside the /inc/ directory.

📌 Core Layout Files

The following files control the global layout and can be customized for theming purposes:

/inc/head.php – <head> section, meta tags, CSS includes
/inc/navbar.php – Main navigation bar
/inc/footer.php – Footer layout
/assets/ – CSS, JS, images, icons

To create a custom theme, simply modify these files or duplicate them into a new theme structure if desired.
