I am using the admin plugin. I can create a page fine, and it uses the language I have selected as my locale as the language of page, which is also fine. But I can't add a different localization for the page unless I manually add one in the filesystem. When I add one in the filesystem, I get a nice drop down selecting the locale of the same page. However, without manually creating a localized file in the filesystem, I can't create a different version of the same page.
Is there a way to do this in the admin?
On the page you want to save/duplicate as another language, the drop down for the save button has the options.

I have a site that was made in WordPress and I need to remake it just with HTML and php.
The problem is
I have a page at the url www.mydomain.com/create
I created a new file with same name, www.mydomain.com/create.php
Now on the host I removed the extension .php, but the problem is i will still hit the word press page.
Where can I find the file with the url set for this page? I don't know much about word press besides where plugins are.
WordPress does not use one file per page / post. WordPress instead has a template system inside themes that defines how pages and lists of posts are turned into HTML. The content of those pages and posts resides within the database and can be viewed in wp-admin. Further, WordPress extensions and themes can define hook functions and filters to modify content and style of the page and execute code upon certain events.
You cannot find a file for this "/create/" page. It has some content in the database but the content itself won't render into what you see in the browser.
Sorry to say this, but if you like to recreate the site, you will have to find a new way of constructing and rendering it (and also reusing code). You might also want to look for a proper framework like Laravel and have some proper routing in place (instead of renaming PHP files).
Edit:
You can change the permalink for create like so:
UPDATE PREFIX_posts SET post_name = 'create_old' WHERE post_name = 'create';
You have to adapt the MySQL table name to the WP posts table by replacing PREFIX with whatever prefix your WP posts table has.
I'm a WordPress developer who's been tasked to create a temporary one-pager to a Drupal site. The client would like to have a simple front page with a logo and 4 external links until their new site is ready. Normally I'd just make a simple index.html page with some CSS and call it a day. But in this case they need some of the sub-pages from the Drupal site to continue to work.
Had it been a WordPress site, I would have just created a new template file and a new page inside WordPress, and made that the front page. But as I have zero experience with Drupal, I don't know if you can do the same thing here.
What is the easiest (quickest) way to make a simple splash-page as the front page, while having the rest of the drupal site continue to work? The splash-page should ignore all CSS and JS from the original theme — preferably have a completely independant section fromt the rest of the site.
In Drupal 7 you have few "levels" of templates. First you have "most outer" template html.tpl.php It contains html head and it is usually common for all pages.
Then inside that html.tpl.php you'll include page.tpl.php. That one should again contain some common page elements, as header and footer, but again, if your design requires that, you can have more than one page template.
Page template will include node template. In drupal you have 2 basic content (node) types but you can create many more of them. Basically for every different page layout you can create new content type (but there also are lot of different ways to achieve the same thing).
Basically you should create new content type called i.e. "splash" (machine name!). Add fields to it if they need to be back-end editable.
Then you should create new template file for your content type. Name matters, so you should call it node--splash.tpl.php . You can find and copy to your theme existing node.tpl.php and change it to your needs.
Keep in mind that when ever you add/remove new template file you have to clear the cache so drupal would scan theme directory, notice and start using new templates.
And if you need also different page template for you page you'll have to put some code into you tamplate.php file:

Drupal template engine design an specific file name for override front page.
You can create the file html--front.tpl.php, and this will be used only for the front page without touch any other page. You can page here your custom HTML and reference css/js.
If the page you need share common styles with the rest of the site, I would recommend to instead override page--front.tpl.php which is basically the content of the page without the tags

I'm new to Drupal. I have a page template that has a nav, header and footer. This works correctly for how I want most of my site, except for the login page that I would like to completely customize.
Is there a way to overwrite or ignore the overall site templating (perhaps by placing my login page template into a folder within the /templates directory?) in order to style that one page differently?
Thanks.
If you are looking out for customizing only the login page without its effect on anywhere in the site, you can use page--user--login.tpl.php to override it.
Basically you should find system template you want to override. It may be part of standard drupal installation but also part of some module. Copy it to your theme's templates directory and change the way you like. Clear the cache and drupal will re-scan your theme and start using templates you added instead of original one.
The company I am working for has a sitefinity. They want me to create custom pages from scratch for them. I have never used sitefinity, so upon research It appears that I want to create a template via .master. Then once built, I would add to my CMS and access it for use.
Is there a way to make these .master templates other than ASP.NET? ( which I have no experience with)
Essentially all am am wanting to do is create a custom page out of html,css, and jquery and then make a 'template' out of it.
You dont have to use a .master page to create a template in Sitefinity. It's nice to have that level of control but it's not necessary at all. Just go to Design > Page Templates in the Sitefinity backend section /Sitefinity
There are several built in templates you can edit from that page. You can use one of those templates, create a new template from scratch, or create a template based on any one of the templates you see there.
Once you pick a template, you can edit the Layout to add columns and global content or custom CSS.
Not really, if you want control over the markup then you'll have to use a .master page but the good news is that it really is just mostly html and css / js references. Sitefinity has a sample template here but you may want to look at their Visual Studio plugin called Thunder to register a template. It will add in a default master page as well as the default folder structure for the theme, video on that here.
I need to create an asp.net website which will allow the end users to select a prestored template from available templates, edit header, footer and body contents of the template and create a HTML page that will be stored in a physical folder of website with names like test1.html, test2.html, etc.
Can somebody please suggest me how can I achieve this?
You can you CKEditor or tinymce for same, First of all you can created pre-define template in your project and user can select those pre-define template and modified it in CKEditor and stored on physical location(on drive).
It's might be helpful.
