Own module in left hand menu in back offce

[Appwards]

Hi all,

 

I've been trying to find the proper way to allow the configuration page of my module to be linked from the left hand menu.

 

If I do it manually through the Administration -> Menus screen, I need to specify Name, class en module and then the menu item shows up, but then I also need to add a method "viewAccess" to my module. And if I add that method I need to add more methods. So I just hijacked the viewAccess method, making it redirect the browser to my menu's page.

 

There must be a better way to do this.

 

And how to add a custom icon with the menu item entry?

 

Thanks in advance!

Well, it turns out that you have to add a admincontroller for that to work.

So I've solved it like this:

 

Created: //modules/mymodule/controllers/admin/AdminMymoduleController.php
