Create new page without using Views or Panels?

Question

I'm now in process of reducing the numbers of module used in the website. I will disable Panels and several other modules, but still using Views.

(The website is not too complicated, but because many modules involved, it become quite slow.)

Instead of using Panels, I'm customizing the appearance through dozens of template files.

But I just wonder, is it possible to create new page without using Views or Panels?

Answer 1

Yes, You can write a small custom module to create pages with out using heavy panels module.

Please see the hook_menu documentation.

function yourmodulename_menu() {
  $items['page_one'] = array(
    'title' => 'Title of Page', 
    'page callback' => 'page_one_callback', 
    'access arguments' => array('access content'), 
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );
  $items['page_two'] = array(
    'title' => 'Title of Page', 
    'page callback' => 'page_two_callback', 
    'access arguments' => array('access content'), 
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );    
  return $items;
}

 function page_one_callback() {
   $content = "";
   return $content;
 }

 function page_two_callback() {
   $content = "";
   return $content;
 }

To make your life much more easy without any coding, just go to "node/add/page" and create a new page !
