Here's the situation:
I would like to add a Menu in the Magento backend navigation menu.
I accomplished this by adding the following code in app/etc/config.xml:
<adminhtml>
<menu>
<example translate="title" module="adminhtml">
<title>Inventory</title>
<sort_order>110</sort_order>
<children>
<set_time>
<title>Set It!</title>
<action>helloworld/index/goodbye</action>
</set_time>
</children>
</example>
</menu>
The problem is I can't include this menu in the permission->role resources so I can't assign this to a specific user.
How do I include this menu in the permission->role resources?
Thank you and more power!
You need to tell magento that you want your new menu position to be visible in the permission tree. To do this you have to add an ACL section to your configuration data. Put this inside your module's config.xml file:
<acl>
<resources>
<admin>
<children>
<example>
<title>Inventory</title>
<sort_order>110</sort_order>
<children>
<set_time>
<title>Set It!</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
</set_time>
</children>
</example>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
thanks.. I got it to work with a few tweakings..
<adminhtml>
<acl>
<resources>
<admin>
<children>
<helloworld_options translate="label" module="helloworld">
<title> MENU</title>
<sort_order>999</sort_order>
<children>
<hello_children1>
<title> RELATION</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
</hello_children1>
<hello_children2>
<title> MACHINE</title>
<sort_order>20</sort_order>
</hello_children2>
<hello_children3>
<title> INVOICE</title>
<sort_order>30</sort_order>
</hello_children3>
</children>
</helloworld_options>
<system>
<children>
<config>
<children>
<helloworld_options translate="label" module="helloworld">
<title> MENU</title>
</helloworld_options>
</children>
</config>
</children>
</system>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
</adminhtml>
this will display the following menu with sub menus in the backend.. plus this can be configured in the role resources.. :)

I've added these three children tabs to the created new tab SMS Center but when i click on the About tab i got error 404 ON MY FRONTEND. This is awkward. Why i got redirected to the frontend ?
Can you please help me out to create a simple new custom page in the admin panel where i want to add a simple text?
Thanks in advance!
Seems like Magento recognizes your module is telling it "Check me for admin" controllers, but that Magento doesn't find any. The best way to figure out what Magento thinks your controller file should be named (as well as which folder it should be located in) is to add some temporary debugging to _validateControllerClassName
protected function _validateControllerClassName($realModule, $controller)
{
$controllerFileName = $this->getControllerFileName($realModule, $controller);
if (!$this->validateControllerFileName($controllerFileName)) {
var_dump($controllerFileName); //add this line
return false;
}
This will dump out every file Magento checks for a controller. Look for the line with your module name in it, and compare paths between where your file is located and where Magento thinks it should be located.
I know how to create a sub-menu under catalog main navigation menu in config.xml which is:
<menu>
<catalog>
<children>
<testimonials>
<title>Manage Testimonials</title>
<sort_order>1</sort_order>
<action>adminhtml/adminhtml_testimonials</action>
</testimonials>
</children>
</catalog>
</menu>
but how do I create a sub-menu under Customers Menu? I tried:
<menu>
<customers>
<children>
<testimonials>
<title>Manage Testimonials</title>
<sort_order>1</sort_order>
<action>adminhtml/adminhtml_testimonials</action>
</testimonials>
</children>
</customers>
</menu>
but it doesn't work. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Assuming that this is not a permission issue and you have clear cache and re-login.
In config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
....
<adminhtml> <---
<menu>
<customer>
<children>
<testimonials>
<title>Manage Testimonials</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>adminhtml/adminhtml_testimonials</action>
</testimonials>
</children>
</customer>
</menu>
</adminhtml> <---
....
or
In adminhtml.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
...
<menu>
<customer>
<children>
<testimonials>
<title>Manage Testimonials</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>adminhtml/adminhtml_testimonials</action>
</testimonials>
</children>
</customer>
</menu>
...
I’ve created a custom module and my config.xml is as follows…
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<admin>
<routers>
<blacklist>
<use>admin</use>
<args>
<module>Leon_Blacklist</module>
<frontName>blacklist</frontName>
</args>
</blacklist>
</routers>
</admin>
<adminhtml>
<menu>
<blacklist translate="title" module="blacklist">
<title>Blacklist</title>
<sort_order>71</sort_order>
<children>
<items translate="title" module="blacklist">
<title>Manage Items</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>blacklist/adminhtml_blacklist</action>
</items>
</children>
</blacklist>
</menu>
<acl>
<resources>
<all>
<title>Allow Everything</title>
</all>
<admin>
<children>
<Leon_Blacklist translate="title" module="blacklist">
<title>Blacklist Module</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
<children>
<items translate="title" module="blacklist">
<title>Manage Items</title>
</items>
</children>
</Leon_Blacklist>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
<layout>
<updates>
<blacklist>
<file>blacklist.xml</file>
</blacklist>
</updates>
</layout>
</adminhtml>
<config>
The module works as expected if an admin account is logged in. I can see the module in the admin panel and in the Role Resource Tab (System->Permissions->Roles), but when I tried to check the module and save the user role, it will say that it has been saved. But when I rechecked the user role, it is still unchecked.
And when I tried to login using the account with the said user role, the custom module is hidden. What seems to be the problem? Any kind of help is much appreciated..
Thanks.
Your acl section of config is a little wrong. Tags should be similar to menu section. So in your case it should look like this:
<acl>
<resources>
<admin>
<children>
<blacklist translate="title" module="blacklist">
<title>Blacklist Module</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
<children>
<items translate="title" module="blacklist">
<title>Manage Items</title>
</items>
</children>
</blacklist>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
Here is my acl section of config.xml
<acl>
<resources>
<all>
<title>Allow Everything</title>
</all>
<admin>
<children>
<banner translate="title" module="banner">
<title>Banner Module</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
<children>
<banner translate="title" module="banner">
<title>Manage Banners</title>
</banner>
</children>
</banner>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
Also add the below function in your controller to avoid the "Access denied" message
protected function _isAllowed(){
return true;
}

My existing code creates a menu that looks like this.
But I want a menu that is a sub-menu of the Catalog menu.
Here is my existing code in adminhtml.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config>
<menu>
<mycustom_menu translate="title" module="brands">
<title>My Custom Menu Item</title>
<sort_order>300</sort_order>
<children>
<!-- child items go here -->
<subitem translate="title" module="brands">
<title>Manage Brands</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
<action>adminhtml/mycustom_controller/</action>
</subitem>
</children>
</mycustom_menu>
</menu>
<acl>
<resources>
<admin>
<children>
<mycustom_menu translate="title" module="brands">
<title>My Custom Menu Item</title>
<sort_order>300</sort_order>
<children>
<subitem translate="title" module="brands">
<title>Subitem</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
</subitem>
</children>
</mycustom_menu>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
</config>
Instead of using <mycustom_menu> you need to re-use the nodename that was used in the adminhtml.xml of the catalog module. That name is catalog.
So your XML should look like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<menu>
<catalog>
<children>
<your_subitem>
<title>Subitem 1</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
<action>adminhtml/your_action</action>
</your_subitem>
</children>
</catalog>
</menu>
<acl>
<resources>
<admin>
<children>
<catalog>
<title>Subitem 1</title>
<sort_order>10</sort_order>
</catalog>
</children>
</admin>
</resources>
</acl>
</config>
For example to add submenu in customer tab:
<menu>
<customer>
<children>
<vendor module="yourmodule">
<title>Your Title</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>admin_yourmodule/adminhtml_yourmoduleaction</action>
</vendor>
</children>
</customer>
</menu>
I currently have an extension that I created and it currently sits inside of its own top level menu. I would like to move it so that the item would appear inside of the Customers menu. Does anyone know how to do this?
It looks like this is handled inside the extensions config.xml file. The code that I have for it right now is as follows:
<menu>
<testimonials module="testimonials">
<title>Testimonials</title>
<sort_order>71</sort_order>
<children>
<items module="testimonials">
<title>Manage Items</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>testimonials/adminhtml_testimonials</action>
</items>
</children>
</testimonials>
</menu>
I tried changing the title element to Customers and it just created a duplicate Customers menu.
Try this:
<menu>
<customer>
<children>
<testimonials module="testimonials">
<title>Testimonials</title>
<sort_order>71</sort_order>
<children>
<items module="testimonials">
<title>Manage Items</title>
<sort_order>0</sort_order>
<action>testimonials/adminhtml_testimonials</action>
</items>
</children>
</testimonials>
</children>
</customer>
</menu>
