Sometimes it’s necessary to quickly add a template for a page into the Magento content management system. This can be done via a custom extension below is the quick fix if required.
Find the closing global tag </global>
and add the following code above it. It will add two templates one from homepage.phtml and one for another-page.html which can then be set on the Design Tab in CMS > Pages.
<global> <cms> <layouts> <homepage> <label>Homepage</label> <template>page/homepage.phtml</template> </homepage> <another_page> <label>Abother Page</label> <template>page/another-page.phtml</template> </another_page> </layouts> </cms> </global>
