You can simply create the controller file you need. In ‘modules/YourModule/controller.php’ put:


<?php
class YourModuleController extends SugarController{
    //Can now put actions here
    public function action_helloworld(){
        echo "Hello world!";
    }
}

Thank Jim, but this solution I know but it’s not function. The new module was created by the studio.

I create the controller.php with function action_convert and if i call a /index.php?module=hhp_physio&action=convert&record=… (i try &action=Convert too) and system stil write There is no action by that name.

Do you have any idea why the controller.php not function?

Have you enabled developer mode and done a quick repair and rebuild after you added the controller?

Hi Andy, yes I have done that. Can be a problem that his module is created by studio?

Not really, there must be an error in your code thats causing this.

Hi guys, this is error I get

Notice: Undefined variable: controller in /var/www/html/crm.dev.hhp.de/include/MVC/Controller/ControllerFactory.php on line 81 Fatal error: Call to a member function setup() on a non-object in /var/www/html/crm.dev.hhp.de/include/MVC/Controller/ControllerFactory.php on line 81

and this is a code of my controller.php

class hhp_physioController extends SugarController {
//Can now put actions here
public function action_convert(){
echo “Hello world!”;
}
}

the name of module i hhp_physio.

Just to confirm. You have a modules/hhp_physio/controller.php file with the contents in your last post?

Please bear in mind PHP files should have <?php before class declarations. I.e:


<?php
class hhp_physioController extends SugarController {
    //Can now put actions here
    public function action_convert(){
        echo "Hello world!";
    }
}

If the above still does not work you will have to add some debug or use a debugger in ControllerFactory to find out why it’s not loading your controller.

Thanks,
Jim
