I'm trying to create a new page to my module without success. I have created a module with the contents:

app\code\local\CompanyName\Insignias\etc\config.xml

<config>
    <modules>
        <CompanyName_Insignias>
            <version>0.0.1</version>
        </CompanyName_Insignias>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <insignias>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>CompanyName_Insignias</module>
                    <frontName>insignias</frontName>
                </args>
            </insignias>
        </routers>
        <layout>
            <updates>
                <insignias>
                    <file>insignias.xml</file>
                </insignias>
            </updates>
        </layout>
    </frontend>
  <...>
</config>

app\code\local\CompanyName\Insignias\controllers\IndexController.php

<?php

class CompanyName_Insignias_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {

    public function indexAction() {
        $this->loadLayout();
        $this->renderLayout();
    }

}

and

app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/insignias.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
  <insignias_index_index>
    <reference name="content">
      <block type="insignias/index" name="insignias_index" template="insignias/index.phtml" />
    </reference>
  </insignias_index_index>
</layout>

I have created the index.phtml file at app/design/frontend/base/default/template/insignias/index.phtml with a <?php echo "worked" ?> to test it, but when I try to access domain/index.php/insignias it shows me all the default magento blocks, but without my echo content, just a blank page in the content

Can someone help me?

  • just edited the content Mar 10, 2017 at 16:38
  • please check system.log file under var/log folder. I think you will get error there. If not then enable developer mode and check log file again

Thats because you didn't created Block file and mentioned block name in your .xml file.

<reference name="content">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <template>insignias/index.phtml</template>
            </action>
        </reference>

try this without block in your xml. hope this helps.

  • I did it here: <reference name="content"> <block type="insignias/index" name="insignias_index" template="insignias/index.phtml" /> </reference> Mar 10, 2017 at 16:59
  • did you create Block file inside block folder and mentioned block inside config.xml file? Once you did this then your code should work as expected. Mar 10, 2017 at 17:01
  • no problem.. Happy Coding :) Mar 10, 2017 at 17:10
