Adding html file in magento cms page

Question

I am really new to magento,I am trying to add my own html page that I have created using visual studio, its an html file so I have renamed it to .phmtl I have places my file in this location

app/design/frontend/default/modern/template/page/profile.phtml

and then I have placed this code

{{block type="core/template" template="page/profile.phtml"}}

in the content area on the cms page. Once I have done this work nothing happens and page does not use the file profile.phtml I wanted to know is it possible to add my page this way or am I doing something/everything wrong? Also the actual profile.html page is not in php its in simple html/css/javascript/jquery file with jquery library tags etc in it. Please reply if anybody know the answer to my question. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

So the code was correct but these would be the steps to check if something is wrong with the .phtml content

Try creating a different block

app/design/frontend/default/modern/template/page/test.phtml

And in that test.phtml file just write this:

<?php echo "Test"; ?>

Yes thats fine just try and create this and then add the block

{{block type="core/template" template="page/test.phtml"}} 

and see if it works, if yes you know your .phtml file is broken so you should debug this then.
