icommkt_email.xml

    </reference>
  </adminhtml_meteorify_observerexample_observerexample_index>
</layout>

Here index.phtml is a simple Hello world, but i got only a blank page with no errors. So can anyone tell me what are the errors with Magento here?

I think you have problem with your handler in icommkt_email.xml file.

Method 1:

You can print handler in your via your controller by print_r($this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles()) in array[3] you get handler just replace it with
adminhtml_meteorify_observerexample_observerexample_index and try again

method 2:

print core/template directly adding in your controller indexAction by adding below code

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template')->setTemplate('observerexample/index.phtml')->toHtml() ?>
3
  • The method one give me the right handler something like adminhtml_observerexample_index but the change doesn't show the .phtml. In the case for the method 2 show the Hello World before the magento admin chrome. I will upload an image to show how looks in the question.

It looks like your layout update XML isn't loading. You have a icommkt_email.xml file on disk, but your configuration is pointing to Icommkt_Email.xml

      <layout>
        <updates>
          <Meteorify_Observerexample>
            <file>Icommkt_Email.xml</file>
          </Meteorify_Observerexample>
        </updates>
      </layout>

The best way to debug this is to turn on developer mode and introduce a deliberate XML structure error into icommkt_email.xml. Once Magento trips over that XML error you'll know Magento is trying to load your file, and you can move on to the next step of your program and/or debugging.

  • Ok, I make that test and show the Magento error page, so this xml is loading, what can be the next step for debug this? thanks for your help.
