Magento-1 XML Menu Module – How to Add Items to Admin Menu

menumodulexml

Maybe its a simple question, but not for beginners 🙂 . How can I add item to the admin menu? also with submenus in magento ?
I created a module, which have the following structure
enter image description here

the content of config.xml is : 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Netgroup_Attributegrouping>
             <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Netgroup_Attributegrouping>
    </modules>
</config>

and the content of adminhtml.xml is :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<menu>
    <attributegrouping translate="title" module="attributegrouping">
        <title>AttributeGrouping</title>
        <sort_order>210</sort_order>
    </attributegrouping> 
</menu>
</config>

and the content of Helper/Data.php is:

<?php

class Netgroup_Attributegrouping_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{

}

the file from modules/Netgroup_AttributeGrouping.xml content is :

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Netgroup_Attributegrouping>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Netgroup_Attributegrouping>
    </modules>
</config>

BUT the result is nothing. What should I do ? thx

Best Answer

I notice you did not defind Helper in config.xml So you should add the following thing:

<global>
    <helpers>
      <attributegrouping>
        <class>Netgroup_Attributegrouping_Helper</class>
      </attributegrouping>
    </helpers>
</global>
