Layout of a custom module isn't called in admin

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've created a module which is working fine. This module allows visitor to get a custom quotation. Datas are saved in database. Now, i want to allow my boss to retrieve datas in admin. 3 hours I'm trying, reading all of possible tutos. My phtml file isn't called.

So, i have :

app/local/Mathieu/Devis/etc/config.xml (part for admin)

<admin>
    <routers>
        <devis>
            <use>admin</use>
            <args>
                <module>Mathieu_Devis</module>
                <frontName>devis</frontName>
            </args>
        </devis>
    </routers>
</admin>

app/local/myname/devis/controllers/Adminhtml/Devis.php

class Mathieu_Devis_Adminhtml_DevisController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{    

    public function indexAction() {    

        $this->loadLayout()
        ->_setActiveMenu('devis')
        ->_title($this->__('Devis'));
        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

app/local/myname/devis/etc/adminhtml.xml

<config>
    <menu>
        <devis module="devis">
            <title>Devis</title>
            <sort_order>25</sort_order>
            <children>                
                <items module="devis">
                    <title>Devis</title>
                    <sort_order>0</sort_order>
                    <action>devis/adminhtml_devis</action>
                </items>
            </children>
        </devis>
    </menu>
    <layout>
        <updates>
            <devis>
                <file>devis.xml</file>
            </devis>
        </updates>
    </layout>
</config>

app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/devis.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <devis_adminhtml_devis_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="devis/adminhtml_devis" name="devis" template="devis/devis.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </devis_adminhtml_devis_index>
</layout>

and a simple phtml file in app/design/adminhtml/default/default/devis/devis.html with an H2

 

When i put this in controller Zend_Debug::dump($this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles());

array(4) {
  [0] => string(7) "default"
  [1] => string(11) "STORE_admin"
  [2] => string(35) "THEME_adminhtml_default_manutention"
  [3] => string(27) "devis_adminhtml_devis_index"

Thanks for all

Hi @Anonymous

I suggest you to create a grid for displaying the information into admin like product, custom etc.

Hello,

Sorry for late.

Hum do you know a website which can help me to do that ? Or do you know how to do ?

[KuafuSoft]

So you have your block created?

Hey,

Yes but the file is empty. I don't know what i'm supposed to put in this file. 

I have a controller with an index action, a config.xml and adminhtml, and a layout.

It's ok for me. I found a website which explains how to create custom grid and now i see my list.

Thanks for all
