Display a New Module Template?
Design and Skin Customization
Ken Rich:
That leads me to believe I can create another template and name it whatever I wish as long as it's not a reserved name.
That is not correct.

To me, that looks like a special coding function which will allow my new template to show. So I experiment with implementing it, ending in frustration.
Yep - unless you want to learn module development, creating custom templates for modules is NOT what you want to do.

5) So I write in the forum and ask for help because I am clearly lost and what seems like it should be a very simple task (getting a simple page to display) has wasted many manhours.
I'm not sure why you would waste hours when I had already posted that you were going about this the wrong way. You already pointed you are NOT a developer, so you want to avoid doing things that require you to be a developer.

So in the end, what I am looking to do is put a button in my module that will show on the item_index in every profile. It needs to open a page that will display a simple list from the module's datastore specific to the profile where the button is clicked.
Then modify the skins/Active_Skin/profile_item_index.tpl. EVERY module's "item_index.tpl" file is rendered FIRST, then the contents are displayed using that template.
