Magento : Add Custom Layout Template

Tested in CE and EE

In app/design/frontend/base/<your_theme>/layout/page.xml (CE) or app/design/frontend/enterprise/<your_theme>/layout/page.xml (EE), you will see the custom page layout handles. Just copy any of them.

E.g. :

    <page_empty translate="label">
        <label>All Empty Layout Pages</label>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/empty.phtml</template></action>
            <!-- Mark root page block that template is applied -->
            <action method="setIsHandle"><applied>1</applied></action>
            <action method="setLayoutCode"><name>empty</name></action>
        </reference>
    </page_empty>

I will modify it to :

    <page_homepage translate="label">
        <label>Homepage Layout Page</label>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/homepage.phtml</template></action>
            <!-- Mark root page block that template is applied -->
            <action method="setIsHandle"><applied>1</applied></action>
            <action method="setLayoutCode"><name>homepage</name></action>
        </reference>
    </page_homepage>

Then in app/design/frontend/base/<your_theme>/template/page (CE) or app/design/frontend/enterprise/<your_theme>/template/page (EE), create your custom template. Say homepage.phtml and add the content you need.

After that, you should now be able to access the newly added layout in the Admin panel via CMS->Pages in the design tab of the page you want to edit.

Here's the screenshot :

Magento: can't login to admin panel, can't add product to cart

Image
If ever you encountered issues like you cannot login to the admin panel or cannot even add product to the cart, I have a better solution for you. Using phpMyAdmin, in your magento database, look for the core_config_data table and click it. Click the "Search" tab.  Then on the "path" column set the operator to LIKE %...% and the Value to cookie and click the "Go" button to search. Screenshot provided for clarity After searching, set the value of web/cookie/cookie_path ,  web/cookie/cookie_domain ,  web/cookie/cookie_httponly , and  web/browser_capabilities/cookies to NULL Just like this on the screenshot. Screenshot provided for clarity Adding product to cart and logging in to the admin panel should work now!

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository::getProductFromLocalCache() must be of the type string, null given, called in /vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/ProductRepository.php on line 270 and defined in vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/ProductRepository.php:751

Possible reason is that there's a NULL sku in catalog_product_entity. To find out, query the catalog_product_entity table for a NULL sku. Something like: SELECT * FROM catalog_product_entity WHERE sku IS NULL; If there is, then just set the SKU and you're good!
