3.10 Recap: Adding a Menu Item in the Admin

Menu Configuration

Add your menu configuration to app/code/local/MasteringMagento/Example/etc/adminhtml.xml.

<config>
    <menu>
        <example translate="title" module="example">
            <title>Example</title>
            <sort_order>1000</sort_order>
            <action>adminhtml/example</action>
        </example>
    </menu>
</config>

Admin Controller

In your module configuraiton, tap into the existing admin frontname:

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <example before="Mage_Adminhtml">MasteringMagento_Example_Adminhtml</example>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

Create an admin controller in app/code/local/MasteringMagento/Example/controllers/Adminhtml/ExampleController.php. Admin controllers must extend Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action.

class MasteringMagento_Example_Adminhtml_ExampleController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->loadLayout();
         return $this->renderLayout();
    }
}
