Creating New Pages w/links

[RandyB +]

I couldn't find what I am trying to do in a search, so here's my question.

If this is in the wrong forum, please move or advise me for future reference.

I'll try to explain the best I can. Two questions:

First Question:
I created a new page using the "page editor" option called "coupons".
I added some info to my newly created coupons page and four links.

These links I added will call the appropriate php files that I will create separately and have in another folder on my site. When a link is selected I would like these php files to open within the "content" area where, the coupon page is located (same area and page).

This is the code I tried but opens a new page which is not what I want.
I would like the link below, when clicked to call the franklin.php page I create.

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.maloneads.com/coupons/franklin.php" target="self">Franklin County Coupons</a></p>

I'm assuming I need to use a certain "target" tag and/or smarty Though I have no clue to using smarty variables.

Second Question:
Also, can my newly created coupon pages when called scroll within the "content" area?
I would hate for my page to become a mile long.

Thanks,
Randy

Okay I looked through templates and tried this:

<a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/coupons/franklin.php">Franklin County Coupons</a>

Though every time I save the HTML for the "coupon" page I created it turns into this:

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://maloneads.com/administration/{$smarty.const.URL}/coupons/franklin.php">Franklin County Coupons</a></p>

Adding " http://maloneads.com/administration/ " after I save the page.
( I had this problem also when I tried " <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.maloneads.com/coupons/franklin.php" target="self">Franklin County Coupons</a></p> " ) Somehow I corrected the previous attempt to stop it from appending the URL and administration to the link.

Then the actual link, when clicked, on the page turns to this:

http://maloneads.com/administration/{$smarty.const.URL}/coupons/franklin.php

I be baffled, I'm not profecient in php or databases, though I can usually hack away and make things work.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
