I need to know how to add extra pages, other than what you can do in the admin panel. I need to create extra pages that require access to the database to display certain information (I need to add my own .php pages).

I found this: http://labs.buyscripts.in/projects/vsha ... HP_scripts

...but that code is not working. The page I created is not displaying the header,footer, etc and the database information I am referencing is not displaying on the page.
