solved How create link in side menu Back Office

[NewDevOnPrest]

Hello,

I am a beginner in Prestashop 1.7.8 and I try to create a link in the side menu of the back office in order to arrive on a new page. I followed the documentation but it doesn't work.

My module is recognized and installed.

Any idea why my code isn't working?

class Gaston extends Module
{    
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->tabs = [   
                'name' => 'Gaston',
                'visible' => true      
        ];
            
        $this->name = 'Gaston';
//...
}

If someone followed the documentation, it would work.
I don't see parent_class_name in your cut code.
Best of all, turn on debug mode and follow the errors.

Thanks for your help knacky,
I followed the doc. I just forgot to target the controller.

My module

class Gaston extends Module
{    
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->tabs = [   
                'name' => 'Gaston',
                'class_name' => 'Gaston',
                'visible' => true      
        ];
            
        $this->name = 'Gaston';
//...
}

My Controller

class GastonController extends FrameworkBundleAdminController
{
//...
}

        $tab = new Tab($tabId);

        return $tab->delete();
