Location
Frontend controllers are located under the /mvc/control/ directory and must extend the Ctrl_MVC_Front_Controller class. The class name must be Ctrl and the remainder of the file path must echo the path to the template file, remember that this follows the standard WordPress hierarchy. The Show Frontend Controller Path setting on the Custom Controllers settings page can be used to show the correct filename.
