I want to add a custom tab on account dashboard in Magento2 and I have seen many tutorials for creating new module but not one showing exact location for placing that module.
Right now I have placed my custom module on this path app/code folder but it is not working.
I have followed this tutorial for creating a new module,
https://magecomp.com/blog/add-custom-tab-in-customer-account-section-magento-2/#comment-5094
Anyone can help to know the exact location for placing module.
Follow the steps listed below :
Add below files into your custom extension.
Ex:- => Namespace:- ABC => modulename : Myblog
=> Create customer_account.xml into ABC/Myblog/view/frontend/layout
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="customer-account-navigation-myblog">
<arguments>
<argument name="path" xsi:type="string">myblog/customer/index</argument>
<argument name="label" xsi:type="string"> My Blog</argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
=> Create myblog_customer_index.xml into ABC/Myblog/view/frontend/layout
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<update handle="customer_account"/>
<body>
<referenceBlock name="page.main.title">
<action method="setPageTitle">
<argument translate="true" name="title" xsi:type="string">My Blog</argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="my_email" template="ABC_Myblog::myblog.phtml">
</block>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>
=> Create Index.php into ABC/Myblog/Controller/Customer
<?php
namespace ABC\Myblog\Controller\Customer;
class Index extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action {
public function execute() {
$this->_view->loadLayout();
$this->_view->renderLayout();
}
}
?>
=> Create myblog.phtml into ABC/Myblog/view/frontend/templates
<?php
// Add Some Code Here
?>
so finally I have created the module for add new tab. if anybody wants then download from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/23yt71gdh8xdbv9/Privacy.zip?dl=0 and activate module with the command
php bin/magento module:enable Privacy_Policy
You have to add your module to app/code.
After that run command php bin/magento setup:upgrade, php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f and php bin/magento cache:flush from CLI.
I often use a skeleton I get from here:
Which takes out a lot of the grunt and setup work (be sure to verify whether everything in registration.php and such is accurate).
Magento modules have a Vendor name and a Module name. For example, my company is called Company, and I made a module to handle pricelists of our catalog, so the module is called Pricelist.
My module is placed so the file path looks like app/code/Company/Pricelist/...(module files)
After putting the files correctly, run (with the same folder that contains the app folder as the working directory) php bin/magento setup:upgrade. If you log in as admin, you'll be able to see your new module under Stores/Configuration/Advanced/Admin. It should show as enabled.
In the same folder, now run php bin/magento setup:di:compile
