getURL not finding my custom module controller

Question

I am adding in a new mass action for the sales order grid and when I am putting in the url for my action Magento cannot find my controller.

config.xml

<admin>
 <routers>
 <mymodule>
 <use>admin</use>
 <args>
 <module>Namespace_mymodule</module>
 <frontName>frontendname</frontName>
 </args>
 </mymodule>
 </routers>
</admin>
<global>
 <events>
 <adminhtml_block_html_before>
 <observers>
 <mymodule>
 <class>Namespace_mymodule_Model_Observer</class>
 <method>addActions</method>
 </mymodule>
 </observers>
 </adminhtml_block_html_before>
 </events>
</global>

observer.php

public function addActions($event)
{
 $block = $event->getBlock();
 if($block instanceof Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Sales_Order_Grid)
 {
 $block->getMassactionBlock()->addItem('cpsync', array(
 'label' => 'Push Orders to CounterPoint',
 'url' => Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("frontendname/adminhtml_index/push/")
 ));
 }
}

Whenever I try to use my mass action it sends me to a 404 redirect page with url

sitename.com/index.php/frontendname/adminhtml_index/push/key/

Try the following

if(get_class($block) =='Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid_Massaction'
 && $block->getRequest()->getControllerName() == 'sales/order')
 {
 $block->addItem('cpsync', array(
 'label' => 'Push Orders to CounterPoint',
 'url' => Mage::app()->getStore()->getUrl('*/yourcontroller/youraction'),
 ));
 }

If your controller file's name is something like CpsyncController.php, it would need a method like public function pushAction(){<!--your code here-->}, the */yourcontroller/youraction bit in your Observer would be */cpsync/push

P.S it is imperative that you use the Action suffix after the method name in your controller for the redirect to pick up the function itself.

• Robert Zeno: still getting the same url with the 404 redirect. its in a folder called adminhtml in controllers and then IndexController.php would the url be */adminhtml_index/push?
