I'm using Magento 1.8.1.0 community edition.
I have managed to add a custom admin controller and the default indexAction() method does work. However, if I try to access the other method, anotherAction() I get redirected to the Admin dashboard.
Swapping the methods' names works, so I don't think there is any issue with the code in the other method and caching has been turned off.
The 2 URLs in question are:
- http://dev.printo.in/index.php/category_info/index/index
- http://dev.printo.in/index.php/category_info/index/another
I did a little digging and discovered that the request to the /another action is met with a 302 redirection to the admin dashboard.
Any pointers on what the issue could be?
Basically I'm trying to add a new controller with 2 actions as a new admin page. I do not want to change / override the current functionality.
Thanks in advance!
