Open the Blog.php page controller class file. (In this example we use the vim editor, but you can use anything you like.)

$ vim Blog.php

Add the following PHP code to the class.

<?php
    public function actionDrafts()
    {
        // draft blog articles in ascending order, all result pages
        $fetch = array(
            'where' => array('blogs.status = ?' => 'draft'),
            'order' => 'blogs.created ASC',
            'page'  => 'all',
        );
    
        // fetch all matching records
        $this->list = $this->_model->blogs->fetchAll($fetch);
    }

Create a view called drafts.php for the actionDrafts() method.

$ vim Blog/View/drafts.php

Enter the following code in the new drafts.php view script.

<?php
    $title = $this->getTextRaw('TITLE_DRAFTS');
    $this->head()->setTitle($title);
?>

<h2><?php echo $this->getText('HEADING_DRAFTS'); ?></h2>

<?php if (! $this->list): ?>

    <p><?php echo $this->getText('ERR_NO_RECORDS'); ?></p>

<?php else: ?>

    <ul>
    
    <?php foreach ($this->list as $item): ?>
        <li><?php
            echo $this->escape($item->title);
            echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;";
            echo $this->action(
                "{$this->controller}/edit/{$item->id}",
                'ACTION_EDIT'
            );
        ?></li>
    
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    
    </ul>
    
<?php endif; ?>

<p><?php echo $this->action(
    "{$this->controller}/add",
    'ACTION_ADD'
); ?></p>

This view shows a list of draft articles stored in $this->list along with a link to edit each one. At the bottom of the page is a link to add a new article.

You should now be able to browse to http://localhost/index.php/blog/drafts to see this page.
