 +==== The template ====
 +
 +Create a newslist.tpl file in the templates directory of the module. And place this content inside :
 +
 +<code xml>
 +  <h2>Last news</h2>
 +  <p>Section available soon.</p>
 +</code>
 +
 +As we said earlier, the content of the template will be the content of the <body> tag. That's why you don't have to give the <html>, <head>, ... tag. Only the content of the <body> tag.
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Using the template in the action ====
 +
 +Let's see what we now have in the controller :
 +
 +<code php>
 +class CTDefault extends jController {
 +
 +   function index () {
 +      $rep = $this->getResponse('html');
 +      $rep->title = 'Last news';
 +      $rep->bodyTpl = 'newslist';
 +      return $rep;
 +   }
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +We the added an instruction to specify to the response that we use the newslist.tpl template.  There is no need to type the ".tpl" suffix of the file name, because it is actually a Jelix [[en:manual:selectors|selector]]. A [[en:manual:selectors|selector]] is a string, allowing to easily indicate a resource of the project, independently of its physical place.
 +
 +A [[en:manual:selectors|selector]] comprise a module name and a resource name separated by the "~" character, like this: "module_name~resource_name". The "module_name~" part is not mandatory when this is the current module. The resource name is not obligatorily a file name, even if, most of the time, it is a file name. The object which uses the [[en:manual:selectors|selector]] ([[en:manual:templates|jTpl]] here) knows haw to retrieve the file corresponding to the [[en:manual:selectors|selector]]. You will see that the selectors are very often used and allow a certain flexibility and independence from physical paths.

 +
 +
 +===== First  display =====
 +
 +We are now ready to display the first version of our action. For this, type the following url in your browser :
 +
 +  http://localhost/jelix/actu.org/www/index.php?module=news&action=default_index
 +
 +You will then see the content of the template we created on the screen.
 +
 +The action parameter is the name of the action to be executed. It is made from to parts, separated by an underscore (_). The first part is the name of the controller, the second part is the name of the method to be executed.
 +
 +We can specify that this action will be the default action of the application. For this, open the configuration file actu.org/var/config/config.classic.ini.php and specify it :
 +
 +<code ini>
 +defaultModule = "news"
 +defaultAction = "default_index"
 +</code>
 +
 +You can then use the following url :
 +
 +  http://localhost/jelix/actu.org/www/index.php
 +
 +To display our first page.
