@naturalcrusader

I was referring to the setting in

app/code/local/Inchoo/CoffeeFreak/etc/config.xml,
look for :

admin
change ‘admin’

@aureleonidas

having same issue with 404 for all modules, even ones known to already work in the admin->config, I am trying to use your solution by changing the admin>router>frontname from admin, but I am unable to find what you are saying, I went to config and selected admin, but there was no router option.

@Tigran ,

I’ve experienced the same problem, changed the admin>router>frontname from admin to ‘anyothername’ fixed this issue.

Hello Bob.
Thanks for reply.
I’ve tried that, but with no luck. If you have found any solution, please share it here

It looks like if you change the line:

community

to:

local

Everything in Index Management comes back online without a problem. Let me know if that works for you!

Hi, got the same problem as Shani. After installing and modifying this module, I’ve got a problem with index management. Can’t access that page. It gives 404 error. Please, if anyone have a solution or have ideas, what can be the reason, respond!!!! It’s very important!!!
Thank you

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. There’s a problem with it in magento 1.4.1.1 though, it breaks the index management page, makes it return a 404 error.

Hello,

First of all, congratulations for the post!!! It’s very good and works very well.

I was several days trying to do it and I was near to get it when I found your post and it helps me to solve all the problems with the tabs and active menu!.

I wanted to request you a post explain how to use this block to save data. For example to save some informations about a manufacturer.

Thanks!

Hello,
This post was very helpful, thank you.
But I have a problem that I don’t understand -
When I add the file “Inchoo_CoffeeFreak.xml” to /app/etc/modules
I get the extension to work but it causes problems with some pages in the admin – The Index Index Management and other pages stop working (I get 404 Error).

When I delete this file (Inchoo_CoffeeFreak.xml) from the folder The pages start working again.

What can cause this? What should I do?

Thank you

hi, sorry if i ask again, but can find a solution.

I can add new methods in controllers on the frontend, but i don’t know how to do it in admin…

i have a controller on a frontend and it is accessible by

http://mymagento/mymodule/
or
http://mymagento/mymodule/index

now i add a new function on this controller “save”

and i can go to access this on
http://mymagento/mymodule/index/save

i can’t replicate it on the backend… every new public function i add on the admin controller will redirect me to the admin dashboard…

Can somebody help me please? what i’m missing?

Thank you very much and sorry for my english (i’m from italy)

http://mymagento/admin/mymodule/save/key/xxxx

i’m redirected to the admin dashboard… http://mymagento/admin/mymodule/index/key/xxxx work well.

What i’m missing?

Hi there

thansk for the blank module – its good.

I’ve been searching around to find out how to add my admin module to an already existent tab, under the system->configuration menus…. rather than having it as a loan module at the top on that hoz menu.

do you guys have any information on this?

many thanks
btw, v nice design on this site

playing around for a little bit, i’ve found a solution:

$this -> loadLayout();
$this -> _setActiveMenu(‘mymenu1′);

and it works fine
