magento - creating admin controller - magento

Question

I am having a admin module Siteadmin_Approval -
Here is confing.xml -
<config>
<modules>
<Siteadmin_Approval>
<version>1.4.0</version>
</Siteadmin_Approval>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<approval>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Siteadmin_Approval</module>
<frontName>approval</frontName>
</args>
</approval>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<approval>
<file>approval.xml</file>
</approval>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
<admin>
<routers>
<approval>
<use>admin</use>
<args>
<module>Siteadmin_Approval</module>
<frontName>approval</frontName>
</args>
</approval>
</routers>
</admin>
<adminhtml>
<menu>
<approval module="approval">
<title>Companies</title>
<sort_order>71</sort_order>
<children>
<sub_menu1 translate="title">
<title>Registered Comapnies</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
<action>approval/adminhtml_approval</action>
</sub_menu1>
</children>
</approval>
</menu>
<acl>
<resources>
<admin>
<children>
<approval translate="title" module="approval">
<title>Payment Requests</title>
<sort_order>50</sort_order>
<children>
<items module="uploads">
<title>Requests</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>uploads/adminhtml_uploads</action>
</items>
</children>
</approval>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
<layout>
<updates>
<uploads>
<file>approval.xml</file>
</uploads>
</updates>
</layout>
</adminhtml>
<global>
<blocks>
<approval>
<class>Siteadmin_Approval_Block</class>
</approval>
</blocks>
<helpers>
<approval>
<class>Siteadmin_Approval_Helper</class>
</approval>
</helpers>
</global>
</config>
controller is -
<?php
class Siteadmin_Approval_Adminhtml_ApprovalController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_action
{
protected function _initAction() {
$this->loadLayout()
->_setActiveMenu('siteadmin/approval');
return $this;
}
public function indexAction() {
$this->_initAction()
->renderLayout();
}
public function rejectAction() {
echo "working"; die;
}
}
and layout file approval.xml contains -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="1.4.0">
<approval_adminhtml_approval_index>
<reference name="content">
<block type="approval/adminhtml_approval" name="approval" />
</reference>
</approval_adminhtml_approval_index>
<approval_adminhtml_approval_reject>
<reference name="content">
<block type="approval/adminhtml_approval/reject" name="approval" />
</reference>
</approval_adminhtml_approval_reject>
</layout>
index action is working fine. But reject action is not getting called. If I print echo "===>".Mage::getUrl('approval/adminhtml_approval/reject'); then it only returns http://example.com/index.php/approval/adminhtml_approval/reject . It doesn't generate admin key in the url.
What's wrong in my layout xml?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer 1

actually except using this - Mage::getUrl('approval/adminhtml_approval/reject');
this works -
Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("approval/adminhtml_approval/reject");
all the settings in config and layout are correct.
