I Create a new custom module. My requirement is to add new link after Address Book in Customer My Account. when click on that new link a new page show on right as address book.
What I do I'll Explain here, Please let me know what is going wrong.. No Link is shown after doing all..
Step 1. Create new file in app/etc/modules named Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses.xml Having below code :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
</modules>
</config>
Step 2. app/code/local/Customerserviceaddress/Serviceaddresses/etc create new file named config.xml with below code :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
<version>0.1.0</version> <!-- Version number of your module -->
</Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<serviceaddresses>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses</module>
<frontName>serviceaddresses</frontName>
</args>
</serviceaddresses>
</routers>
</frontend>
</config>
Step 3.
Create Controller File app/code/local/Customerserviceaddress/Serviceaddress/controllers named IndexController.php
<?php
class Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
echo "Hello tuts World";
}
public function testAction()
{
echo "test action";
}
}
?>
After all this I type yoursite.com/index.php/serviceaddresses/index/index in url to check is my module working or not..
It is working...
.
.
After this Creating Custom Module's Layout and Block Files :
Step 4. app > code > local > Customerserviceaddress > serviceaddresses > etc > config.xml and add the below line of code:
<frontend>
<layout>
<updates>
<serviceaddresses>
<file>serviceaddresses.xml</file> <!-- Our layout file name-->
</serviceaddresses>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
<global>
<blocks>
<serviceaddresses>
<class>Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses_Block</class>
</serviceaddresses>
</blocks>
</global>
So the updated config.xml is look like this :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
<version>0.1.0</version> <!-- Version of module -->
</Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<serviceaddresses>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses</module>
<frontName>serviceaddresses</frontName>
</args>
</serviceaddresses>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<serviceaddresses>
<file>serviceaddresses.xml</file> <!-- Our layout file name-->
</serviceaddresses>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
<global>
<blocks>
<serviceaddresses>
<class>Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses_Block</class>
</serviceaddresses>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>
Step 5.
app > code > local > Customerserviceaddresses > Serviceaddresses > Block and create the file Serviceaddresses.php that contains below lines of code :
<?php
class Customerserviceaddresses_Serviceaddresses_Block_Serviceaddresses extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
public function myfunction()
{
return "Hello new world";
}
}
?>
Step 6.
app > design > frontend > rwd > default > layout and create the serviceaddresses.xml file which contains below lines of code :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<serviceaddresses_index_index>
<reference name="content">
<block type="serviceaddresses/serviceaddresses" name="serviceaddresses" template="serviceaddresses/serviceaddresses.phtml" />
</reference>
</serviceaddresses_index_index>
</layout>
Step 7.
app > design > frontend > rwd > default > template > serviceaddresses and create the serviceaddresses.phtml file.
<?php
echo $this->myfunction();
?>
After doing template, layout and block files nothing change..
What can I do to see the changes, that why My function in block is not call.. How can see the new output on screen.
Now The Code/Files I add to create New Link in Customer My Account Navigation
Step 8. Code added in my module's app/code/local/Customerserviceaddress/Serviceaddresses/etc/config.xml
<layout version="0.1.0">
<customer_account>
<reference name="customer_account_navigation">
<action method="addLink">
<name>customer_service_address</name>
<path>serviceaddresses/controller</path>
<label>Service Addresses</label>
</action>
</reference>
</customer_account>
</layout>
Updated Config.xml will look like this :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
<version>0.1.0</version> <!-- Version number of your module -->
</Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<serviceaddresses>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses</module>
<frontName>serviceaddresses</frontName>
</args>
</serviceaddresses>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<serviceaddresses>
<file>serviceaddresses.xml</file> <!-- Our layout file name-->
</serviceaddresses>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
<global>
<blocks>
<serviceaddresses>
<class>Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses_Block</class>
</serviceaddresses>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>
<!--New Section for My Account New Link -->
<layout version="0.1.0">
<customer_account>
<reference name="customer_account_navigation">
<action method="addLink">
<name>customer_service_address</name>
<path>serviceaddresses/controller</path>
<label>Service Addresses</label>
</action>
</reference>
</customer_account>
</layout>
Step 9.
Create New file in my custom module's controllers folder named ControllerController.php having below code :
<?php
class Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses_ControllerController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
if (!Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()):
$this->_redirect('customer/account/login');
return;
endif;
$this->loadLayout();
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
?>
Step 10. create new file in app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout folder named serviceaddresses.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<serviceaddresses_index_index>
<reference name="content">
<block type="serviceaddresses/serviceaddresses" name="serviceaddresses" template="serviceaddresses/serviceaddresses.phtml" />
</reference>
</serviceaddresses_index_index>
<serviceaddresses_controller_index> <!-- module here matches node directly beneath <routers> in config.xml -->
<update handle="customer_account"/> <!-- include existing customer account layout -->
<reference name="my.account.wrapper"> <!-- target parent block -->
<block type="serviceaddresses/customaddress" name="customer_service_address" template="serviceaddresses/serviceaddresses.phtml"/>
<block type="customer/account_dashboard" name="customer.account.link.back" template="customer/account/link/back.phtml" /> <!-- add a back link -->
</reference>
</serviceaddresses_controller_index>
</layout>
Step 10. Create New Controller file Named in controllers folder of my custom module Customaddress.php having below code :
<?php
class Customerserviceaddress_Serviceaddresses_Block_Customaddress extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
public function getCustomer()
{
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
if ($customer->getId()):
return $customer;
endif;
return false;
}
}
?>
Step 11. Old template file of my custom module's template folder. file named : serviceaddresses.phtml
<?php
//echo $this->myfunction();
?>
<div class="page-title">
<h1><?php echo $this->__('Service Addresses') ?></h1>
</div>
<?php if ($customer = $this->getCustomer()): ?>
<div>Hello <?php echo $customer->getName(); ?></div>
<?php else: ?>
<div>No customer here</div>
<?php endif; ?>
After doing all this no new link shown in customer my account navigation.
Let me know what was wrong in this flow.
