Creating a new .tpl file.

Im in the middle of making a new template based off the current template that i already have.
so i've made the tpl files and everything but then realized i can't get the tpl files to generate over to php files.
I've saved my templates under the skin1 root directory as these files;
SSR.tpl
SSR_menu.tpl
SSR_head.tpl
i've layed out everything so it looks like the same template as my current site so when i 'preview' it, it shows up fine.
but when i generate..theres no php file to view for the public.
my site is www.more-japan.com and im trying to make the SSR.tpl to www.more-japan.com/SSR.php.

wondering if anybody can give me directions on how to do this.
is there certain coding that i need to input into the tpl files?
or..is there a config file that i need to edit inorder to make the files into php?

all input is welcomed. thank you.

Re: Generating .tpl file to .php file

well you dont generate tpl files to a php file

in the php file you tell it to display the tpl file

if you took a look at your home.php file you will see 2 lines that look like:

Code:

$smarty->assign("location", $location);



func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);

the first line assigns the location
while the second assigns the tpl to be displayed (I believe you can only display one main tpl, so the header and what not will have to be "included" in the main tpl)
