How can I make a new CTP (CakePHP) file in NetBeans?

I have found a lot of info about adding CTP file support for NetBeans, but this is usually talking about code highlighting and treating a ctp file like a php file. This can be done at:

Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Files

I have done this.

However, when I try to create a NEW ctp file. I do not have the option.

I tried going to Tools -> Templates to add a ctp template. There is no "new" button just an "add" button that looks for a file.

I created a file on my desktop called cake_template.ctp on my desktop. I added it to the PHP templates in the template manager. I called the template "PHP Cake Template".

Still when I go to create a new file, the option is not there. I restarted NetBeans, still the same.

I just want to create a new .ctp file, it开发者_运维技巧 shouldn't be this difficult. Does anyone know how?

I am using version 6.9.1

just right click on the folder in the project view, and then say new php file. then just type the file_name.ctp in the field.

if you have .ctp it will not add .php

You can add empty file by right click on the folder view, then click new empty file, after you can specify its extension.
