nice it works when I added <module> table in case… thanks
one more question :
How should I do to change the controller into index.php or homepage, eg :
when I created abc module then I can go to http://local/index.php/abc, but How can I make it, so I can go to http://local/index.php or http://local
thanks

The easiest way I would do is to create a static block and include your custom module template in there and then set the home page to use that. The other way might be through Routers but I wouldn’t know how to do that.

Hi Alkarim,
That is actually a Magento bug that I hadn’t noticed till now. If you look in the config.xml file:
/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/config.xml
<menu>
<sales translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Sales</title>
<sort_order>20</sort_order>
<depends><module>Mage_Sales</module></depends>
<children>
<order translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Orders</title>
<action>adminhtml/sales_order</action>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
</order>
<invoice translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Invoices</title>
<action>*/sales_invoice</action>
<sort_order>20</sort_order>
</invoice>
<shipment translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Shipments</title>
<action>*/sales_shipment</action>
<sort_order>30</sort_order>
</shipment>
<creditmemo translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Credit Memos</title>
<action>*/sales_creditmemo</action>
<sort_order>40</sort_order>
</creditmemo>
</children>
</sales>
</menu>
You can see that the actions for invoices, shipments, and credit memo’s are ‘*/<action>’. The problem with this is that it will append the url action to whatever the current module is. Since we don’t have our module in adminhtml in the core code it does not correctly give the url. If you change the * to adminhtml, it works just fine.
<menu>
<sales translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Sales</title>
<sort_order>20</sort_order>
<depends><module>Mage_Sales</module></depends>
<children>
<order translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Orders</title>
<action>adminhtml/sales_order</action>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
</order>
<invoice translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Invoices</title>
<action>adminhtml/sales_invoice</action>
<sort_order>20</sort_order>
</invoice>
<shipment translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Shipments</title>
<action>adminhtml/sales_shipment</action>
<sort_order>30</sort_order>
</shipment>
<creditmemo translate="title" module="sales">
<title>Credit Memos</title>
<action>adminhtml/sales_creditmemo</action>
<sort_order>40</sort_order>
</creditmemo>
</children>
</sales>
</menu>

hi @alistek, I think it would be better if I change <module> name with admin at local..

That would probably work too, I honestly haven’t explored changing things as much as in compiling all of this info I used earlier recommendations and tutorials. If you come up with a better way please do share what you did, as it can certainly use improvement.

Yes the <module>.xml file MUST be in the layout folder, that is what determines what gets displayed on the frontend AND the backend (seperate for each theme).

hi @alistek,
I just wondering about its controllers.
You see at controllers folder, there is <Module>Controller. What makes you think it should be <Module>Controller… How about if I want to change its name like MooController ??
any ideas?

It doesn’t have to be <Module>controller, you can name it anything you want and then use the layout xml to determine the block and controller to use. Also you can use URL rewrites in the backend to make things look nicer.

It’s quite weird that even tho I get “New Module successfully created!” I could not find this new folder anywhere. I thought it was the problem with the chmod, so I tried on my localhost (running xampp on winxp) but the same thing happens. What could be the problem here?
Thank you for the great module
Edit Go to the module creator index page in your web browser, and fill in the desired module information. If you enter your Magento directory, the module creator will attempt to install the module directly into Magento, though file permissions must be set correctly for this to happen. If your file permissions are incorrect, or you do not want the module installed right away, you can leave the Magento Directory blank, and the module creator will create the module in a folder called new, and place it in the module creator’s folder.
Me feeling so stupid *_*

BTW, news module is greatly needed by most people, it’d be great if there is a simple already coded module for this so we can just plug-n-play ^_^

If you entered the Magento directory then it will automatically install into /app/code/local/<Namespace>/<Module>/, if you didn’t enter a Magento directory then it will be directly underneath the root directory of Module Creator and called New.
