Hi,
Iām trying to create a new option to the Administration Module, I do a Quick Repair and Rebuild but when I click on the new option that I created appear me an error telling me
āThere is no action by that name: winmax4authenticationā
This is my controller:
Can someone help me resolve this issue?
Best Regards,
Fairydx
Hi, welcome to the Community! 
In which file is this saved?
Does you file also include all the other methods of the stock Administration controller? I suppose not. You probably want to extend the other class, something like:
class CustomAdministrationController extends AdministrationController
I think you want to be going through here
Hi pgr,
I changed my code and added that, but it stays with the same error.
There is my folder can u see whats wrong?

Youāre not telling me where the file is placedā¦ I need to know that.
And if youāre getting an error while calling it, I need to ask, how are you calling it? What is the exact URL that is sent to the server?
Sorry, Iām placing the folder on customs/Extension/modules/Administration.
And the error is when I click on the new option on the administration menu
What about the other question,
http://SuiteCRM_URL/index.php?module=Administration&action=winmax4authentication
@Fairydx
You should use directory: customs/modules/Administration
If you look at more carefully you can see it in post @pgr :
Hi, @Fairydx
I see your screenshot of code and the link (http://SuiteCRM_URL/index.php?module=Administration&action=winmax4authentication). I think that you miss: ā&process=trueā in the link and some else.
I added that ā&process=trueā and that redirect me to de administration page.
That ā&process=trueā is when I save the values, right?
Check both of your logs, you might be getting a PHP fatal or something in your controller code (now that it is running)
I already did that, and I donāt have any error
You should be using XDEBUG and a debugger to check what is happening.
Maybe no view is showing because youāre not returning one? Is your action intended to draw a screen, or just to run some back-end action? You might be better off doing an Ajax call in that case.
That action is to draw a screen with options to save configurations for me to use in the integration that I will create, and I think that Iām returning one view 
With the XDEBUG I found out that I cant reach the view, but why?
controller.php:
public function action_winmax4authentication() {
$this->view = 'winmax4authentication';
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if(isset($_REQUEST['process']) && $_REQUEST['process'] == 'true') {
$admin = new Administration();
$admin->retrieveSettings();
if (!empty($_REQUEST["url"])) {
$admin->saveSetting("winmax4authentication", "url", html_entity_decode($_REQUEST["url"]));
}
if (!empty($_REQUEST["company_code"])) {
$admin->saveSetting("winmax4authentication", "company_code", $_REQUEST["company_code"]);
}
if (!empty($_REQUEST["user"])) {
$admin->saveSetting("winmax4authentication", "user", $_REQUEST["user"]);
}
if (!empty($_REQUEST["password"])) {
$admin->saveSetting("winmax4authentication", "password", $_REQUEST["password"]);
}
header('Location: index.php?module=Administration&action=index');
}
view.winmax4authentication.php:
<?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
global $current_user, $sugar_config;
if (!is_admin($current_user)) sugar_die("Unauthorized access to administration.");
require_once('include/MVC/View/SugarView.php');
class Viewauthentication extends SugarView {
public function __construct() {
parent::SugarView();
}
public function preDisplay() {
$this->dv->tpl = 'custom/modules/Administration/tpl/winmax4authentication.tpl';
}
public function display() {
global $sugar_config, $mod_strings, $app_strings;
$smarty = new Sugar_Smarty();
$smarty->assign('MOD', $mod_strings);
$smarty->assign('APP', $app_strings);
$smarty->assign('config', $sugar_config['winmax4authentication']);
$admin = new Administration();
$admin->retrieveSettings();
if (array_key_exists('winmax4authentication_url', $admin->settings))
$smarty->assign('URL', $admin->settings['winmax4authentication_url']);
if (array_key_exists('winmax4authentication_company_code', $admin->settings))
$smarty->assign('COMPANY_CODE', $admin->settings['winmax4authentication_company_code']);
if (array_key_exists('winmax4authentication_user', $admin->settings))
$smarty->assign('USER', $admin->settings['winmax4authentication_user']);
if (array_key_exists('winmax4authentication_password', $admin->settings))
$smarty->assign('PASSWORD', $admin->settings['winmax4authentication_password']);
$smarty->display($this->dv->tpl);
}
}
?>First, if this is a new XDEBUG configuration, check that your breakpoints are hitting by setting one at the beginning of index.php. Just to check itās breaking when the request starts.
Then try setting a breakpoint in the GetController code that I mentioned in my post above, and see what is happening there.
How do I do that breakpoints?
That depends on which IDE youāre using (PHP Storm, Eclipse, VS Code, etc)
To get a debugger up and running, you can check documentation on the internet, itās nothing specific to SuiteCRM. I highly recommend that you do it, it changes your productivity dramatically.

If you want to use:
custom/modules/Administration/views/view.winmax4authentication.php
you should active it in file:
custom/modules/Administration/action_view_map.php
You can look at as an example:
modules/Administration/action_view_map.php
