I'm having trouble getting my page to render properly.
At app/design/frontend/base/default/layout, I have the following local.xml file ...
<layout version="0.1.0">
<helloworld_index_index>
<block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml" template="magentotutorial/helloworld/simple_page.phtml" />
</helloworld_index_index>
</layout>
At app/design/frontend/base/default/template/magentotutorial/helloworld I have the following in my simple_page.phtml file ...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #f00;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
At app/code/local/Magentotutorial/Helloworld/controllers I have the following in my IndexController.php file ...
<?php
class Magentotutorial_Helloworld_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {
public function indexAction () {
$this->loadLayout ();
$this->renderLayout ();
}
}
?>
And lastly (not sure if it matters) at app/code/local/Magentotutorial/Helloworld/etc, my config.xml has the following ...
<config>
<modules>
<Magentotutorial_Helloworld>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</Magentotutorial_Helloworld>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<helloworld>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Magentotutorial_Helloworld</module>
<frontName>helloworld</frontName>
</args>
</helloworld>
</routers>
</frontend>
</config>
According to the tutorial I'm following, this is supposed to create a blank page with a red background, and a page title of Hello, World! when I navigate to http://<mysite>/helloworld/index/index.
However, it does not.
My module is registered in my Magento installation, and I have made sure to clear both the Configuration and Layout caches after each respective upload.
What I get instead of what I am expecting is the normal site, minus any page-specific content. The page title is simply Magento Commerce.
My version of Magento is 1.7.0.2, and I have been following along with this tutorial (I know it's old, but it worked well up until this section).
Can anybody point me in the right direction to figure out what I am doing wrong?
