My Admincontroller Is Not Found

[Creativus Comunico]

Hello,

 

PS version 1.6.1.1

 

I need some help ; cannot figure out how to solve my problem.

 

Here it is : I have a new customized module called myanimal.

 

Problem description

 

Module works fine when installing (creation of tables, insertion of resources in architecture...).

 

This module has 2 front controllers that work fine too (creating animals).

 

Now I want to add a tab in backoffice so that administrator can see animals created. I plan to use helpers, I just want a basic table list as we have plenty in PS.

 

So I created an AdminAnimalController extending ModuleAdminController and set it in modules/myanimal/controllers/admin/AdminAnimalController.php

 

When installing the module I create the new tab in backoffice right menu, under 'customers'.

 

But when clicking on it I get 'Class 'AdminAnimalController' not found in BASE_DIR/classes/controller/Controller.php on line 134

 

I checked Controller.php ; it is logically about getController method and in my case the controller is not found.

 

What I tried :

 

Delete index_cache in BASE_DIR/cache

Scrutinize database see if I had to save my controller in a routing table...

I thought it could very well be a naming convention problem but when I look at other AdminControllers like AdminCarriersController it seems I am going fine...??

 

But ??? Quid ?

 

Can someone help please ?

 

See below my AdminController file.

Can you share the code you are using to create the tab in the module class?

[Creativus Comunico]

Yes of course.

 

Heredown below is my module main file.

 

Just a remark ; I tried in a template to display URL of my adminController with Context::getContext()->link->getAdminLink('AdminAnimal').

 

I notice that url created has a different token than the one attached to the tab. I don't really know if this is relevant for my problem but well it worthes mention it.

 

Ok the code myanimal.php - installTab and uninstallTab

// TAB PANEL FUNCTIONS
    private function installTab($tabClass, $tabName, $idTabParent)
    {
        $tab = new Tab();
        foreach (Language::getLanguages(false) as $language)
            $tab->name[$language['id_lang']] = $tabName;
        $tab->class_name = $tabClass;
        $tab->active = 1;
        $tab->module = $this->name;
        $tab->id_parent = $idTabParent;
        return $tab->save();
    }

    private function uninstallTab($tabClass)
    {
        $idTab = Tab::getIdFromClassName($tabClass);
        if ($idTab != 0) {
            $tab = new Tab($idTab);
            $tab->delete();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

installTab is then called within module's install() method with $this->installTab('AdminAnimal', $this->l('Animaux'), Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminParentCustomer').

 

Thanks for your help.

When the dispatcher builds the classname to look for, for an admin controller, it won't add the Core part to the string AdminAnimalControllerCore

// Controllers in modules can be named AdminXXX.php or AdminXXXController.php
include_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.$tab->module.'/controllers/admin/'.$controllers[strtolower($this->controller)].'.php');
$controller_class = $controllers[strtolower($this->controller)].(strpos($controllers[strtolower($this->controller)], 'Controller') ? '' : 'Controller');

[Creativus Comunico]

Thanks very very much Roja45 ! You saved me! As I felt it that was a naming problem... I let the 'Core'. So for readers, AdminControllers may be declared in your module directory/controllers/admin/ with class AdminMyNameController extends ModuleAdminController.

 

My mistake was to add the Core at the end of my classname.

 

Thanks again !
