Joomla Custom Component

I have successfully built my own custom joomla component from scratch, but I am stuck on a presumably relatively simple problem.

For the purpose of this example lets say that:

A equals Home page

B equals Player(Multiple) list page

C equals Player(Individual) page

I have so far got part A and C working. I can get to my individual player page by entering in their id into the url.

Example of part C

What I am unsure about now is creating a view before this when you click on the players menu button that it directs you to a view which displays a list of all players. I have already created a function within the model which returns all players in the database for the purpose of this view. I can upload my component or paste any of my code into this post if needed.

I did follow Joomla component on how to create a component so I presume I have the default settings for my component.

If you build your component in the Component Creator for Joomla, you can probably just use the component it makes for you or you can view the code it generates and copy paste (or at least learn) from the code generated.

You can at an extra public function in your controller this one get available as "task" and can be accessed like this:

/index.php?option=com_name-of-component&view=view-to-load&format=raw&task=name-of-function

If this function get's to big you can create a multi controller component. I can not explain better than this:
