# Custom additional post view

 * I’m coming to WP from Drupal. I’ve got a good PHP background and I’ve used WP
   casually for a while but never really looked under the covers. Now I’m interested
   in giving it a go.
 * I want to add an additional view to each of my existing posts based on an optional
   URL parameter. So I want to keep example.com/path_to_my_post/ rendering on single.
   php, then add example.com/path_to_my_post/special/ and have it render with another
   template file (say my_special_tpl.php).
 * I assume this will be a custom plugin. Can someone point me towards the relevant
   area of the docs and/or plugins that use the API in similar ways?
    I’ve got no
   problem with the functionality in my_special_tpl.php I’m just not sure how to
   get it routed correctly.
 * Thanks!
