Magento system.xml case sensitive module name issue

Question

I have created a custom controller in custom module in Magento ce-1.9.2.4. Module name is given in camelcase as I want to try if Magento accepts camel-case module name in system.xml also other than config.xml.

But when I create the system.xml as below it doesn't create tab in System >> Configuration page.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
 <tabs>
 <custom translate="label" module="myModule">
 <label>Custom FirmInfo</label>
 <sort_order>100</sort_order>
 </custom>
 </tabs>
 <sections>
 <myModule translate="label" module="myModule">
 <label>Mymodule</label>
 <tab>Autofill</tab>
 <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
 <sort_order>1000</sort_order>
 <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
 <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
 <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
 <groups>
 <settings translate="label">
 <label>Settings</label>
 <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
 <sort_order>1</sort_order>
 <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
 <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
 <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
 <fields>
 <enable translate="label">
 <label>Enable</label>
 <comment><![CDATA[Enable or Disable this extension.]]></comment>
 <frontend_type>select</frontend_type>
 <source_model>adminhtml/system_config_source_yesno</source_model>
 <sort_order>1</sort_order>
 <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
 <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
 <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
 </enable>
 </fields>
 </settings>
 </groups>
 </myModule>
 </sections>
</config>

Please can anybody let me know what could be the issue with the system.xml here.

Answer 1

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the case here.

An evident problem is your code is that you declare your new tab like this:

<tabs>
 <custom translate="label" module="myModule">
 <label>Custom FirmInfo</label>
 <sort_order>100</sort_order>
 </custom>
</tabs>

But when you assign your section to your tab you don't assign the right tab:

<tab>Autofill</tab>

To fix that you should replace this code with:

<tab>custom</tab>

As custom is the id of the tab you created.
