Creation Magento Module : error 404

[Mric]

Hi,

I arrived 3 weeks ago in a company using a eCommerce website created with Magento 1.9.2 . I am the only web developper, with a small experience.

I had no knowledges about Magento, and a lot of things have been done before I arrived.

I have to add an other webpage for the trainee. I think using a simple CMS page won't be enough, so I tried to create a complet magento module.

I followed some tutorials on internet, I added all the files I theorically need to print a new webpage with a "hello world".

So, in the url, I add the name of the module, but find a 404 error. I searched on internet if some other people had the same issues, but most of the times, they made mistakes. And I don't see were is mine.

There is what I have done:

In design/frontend/shopper(nom du theme)/default/template, I have a new folder "mannequin" with affichage.phtml

 <p>hello world</p>

In design/frontend/shopper/default/layout, I have Ajouts_Mannequin.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<layout version="0.1.0">
    <Ajouts_Mannequin_index_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="mannequin_affichage" template="mannequin/affichage.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </Ajouts_Mannequin_index_index>

</layout>

In code/local, I added folders /Ajouts/Mannequin/controllers et /Ajouts/Mannequin/etc

with in each: indexController.php

<?php

class Ajouts_Mannequin_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->loadLayout();
        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

?>

and config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <module>
        <Ajouts_Mannequin>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Ajouts_Mannequin>
    </module>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <Ajouts_Mannequin>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Ajouts_Mannequin</module>
                    <frontName>mannequin</frontName>
                </args>
            </Ajouts_Mannequin>
        </routers>
        <layout>
            <updates>
                <Ajouts_Mannequin>
                    <file>Ajouts_Mannequin.xml</file>
                </Ajouts_Mannequin>
            </updates>
        </layout>
    </frontend>
</config>

and finally, I added etc/modules/Ajouts_Mannequin.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Ajouts_Mannequin>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Ajouts_Mannequin>
    </modules>
</config>

So I added all of these files, tried the url ending with "/mannequin, /mannequin/inde/index, but no result.

After, I came in back => System => Advanced, but i can't find my module.

Thank you

Have you set right permissions to file and empty the magento's cache ?

hi @Mric

I checked your code.Some error in your code. In config.xml make the router handle in lower case

 

<routers>
            <ajouts_mannequin>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Ajouts_Mannequin</module>
                    <frontName>mannequin</frontName>
                </args>
            </ajouts_mannequin> 
       </routers>

So in your layout file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<layout version="0.1.0">
    <ajouts_mannequin_index_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="mannequin_affichage" template="mannequin/affichage.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </ajouts_mannequin_index_index>

</layout>

Rest for making sure to module work

1.  Check the spelling of folder and files

2.  Disable cache from admin panel

3.  Disabled the compilation too

Thank you for replying!

@antuz88, the files are readabled by every user. (644)

@qaisar_satti, I tried to set every names to lower case. Still not working.

Do I have to lower cases in the folders and files too?   (Ajouts_Mannequin => ajouts_mannequin?)

Thank you

Could this come from an other module? (There is many bugs on that website. Mangeto Connect isn't working (403 Ôo), some modules makes error popup, ...)

[qaisar_satti]

hi @aboisard

 i don't said about making folder to lower i said in you config.xml the router node make the lower because in layout handle it is using the lowercase. Don't lowercase the folders. I test thins i didn't find any problem so may be some other problem.

[aboisard]

hello @qaisar_satti,

I have to change the names only in the router and the layout then?

You tested it already?

[qaisar_satti]

hi @aboisard

   yes i tested it rest the code not problem only the layout handle was not rendering properly so i fixed that only its start working on my local machine.

[aboisard]

Thank you @qaisar_satti

Could you please make a zip of the files you used? If that's possible, I'd like to be sure I didn't changed any thing;

The problem seems to come from the actual configuration of the website?

Do you have any idea where and what I can surch? Any specific documentation I have to read?

[aboisard]

Ho, what is the url you used?

Magento/mannequin/index/index or Magento/mannequin ?

[qaisar_satti]

hi @aboisard

this url

Magento/mannequin 

also check your module is listed in system > configuration > advanced
