But, how can I add the layout into this example? I tried put the layout's tag inside the tag adminhtml, and create the xml file in app/design/adminhtml/*/*/layout/, but it doesn't work. Do you know how to solve this problem? Thanks and sorry my english... Hi great tutorial!

It was different problem - I didn't know I have to add Session Helper's form key to successfully POST. So it wasn't controller thingie, just form. It works. However I've done it quite different way after all, but I cannot find the source someone on magento forum posted it. I added controller section into tag - because of this my controller worked with /admin/ before controller name in url. Finally it worked.

I've downloaded and extracted the file without a problem on both machines. What might be the problem is that your software doesn't decompress the file completely since this is a tar.gz compression. @shylaja Please use the winRar if on windows or unarchiver if on mac.
