Magento 2.1.2 trying to get a link to show up on My Account page

I followed https://webkul.com/blog/account-navigation-link-magento2/ and yet I can't get my  link to a custom page in My Account (I'd like it underneath Wishlist)  to show up. I've cleared every cache, any idea as to why it might not show up?

@zuzikaiser have you check your controller file is called or not? first check your controller file action whether its called or not? 

 

You can just reference from Wishlist module, How to render wishlist link in account navigation.

 

May be you have helpful this core module.

Are you adding into theme or module?

 

If in module make sure you have installed that module.

 

If you are adding into theme make sure theme type is not virtual.

Adding it in module. The module is installed. It still doesn't show up.

Re: Magento 2.1.2 trying to get a link to show up on My Account page

@zuzikaiser First of all, Your block file extends structure is missing. may be you have to miss extends class in Block php of above code.

 

 

class MyBlock extends \Magen
    public $_storeManto\Framework\View\Element\Template
{ager;
    

You need to define proper extends class for Block file.

 

Second Point,

In your customer_account.xml file,

Just pass path as your frontname in your case, [modulename]

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="customer-account-navigation-my-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">[modulename]</argument>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">My Link</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Third Point,

In your, 

app/code/[Vendor]/[ModuleName]/view/frontend/layout/[modulename]_index_index.xml file You  missed Body tag.

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd" layout="2columns-left">
	<update handle="customer_account"/>
   <body>
      <referenceBlock name="page.main.title">
        <action method="setPageTitle">
            <argument translate="true" name="title" xsi:type="string">[My Title]</argument>
        </action>
      </referenceBlock>
         <referenceContainer name="page.messages">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Messages" name="messages" as="messages"/>
        </referenceContainer>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="[Vendor]\[ModuleName]\Block\MyBlock" name="[modulename]_[modulename]_index.view" template="[Vendor]_[ModuleName]::index.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>
  </body>
</page>

Remove var folder and clear cache.

Re: Magento 2.1.2 trying to get a link to show up on My Account page

Thank you for answering. 

The Block class got messed up in copying. It's actually:

class MyBlock extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
    public $_storeManager;

For the customer_account.xml path I have:

 <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">[modulename]/index/index</argument>

Is that correct?

I added the body tag back in, I had it before and had taken it out.

 

I did: 

 rm -r var/generation/*

 rm -r var/di/*

 rm -r var/cache/*

 rm -r var/page_cache/*

 rm -r var/view_preprocessed/*

and

bin/magento cache:flush

 

Is that what you meant? Sorry, I'm a total beginner with magento.

 

Then I refreshed, the link still doesn't show.

Re: Magento 2.1.2 trying to get a link to show up on My Account page

@zuzikaiser You have to just keep below code in your customer_account.xml file,

 

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="customer_account_my_link" after="customer-account-navigation-wish-list-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">[modulename]</argument>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">My Link</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

 

 

Remove index/index from path in above code.

Run command, 

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

I have just try your module in my system and its working.
