404 error in custom module frontname

Question

I installed ExtetionsStore_ContactConstant from the GitHub. After installed I tried to go to frontcontroller url. but I am getting 404 error.

Here is my config.xml file code.

 <frontend>
 <routers>
 <extensions_store_constantcontact>
 <use>standard</use>
 <args>
 <module>ExtensionsStore_ConstantContact</module>
 <frontName>constantcontact</frontName>
 </args>
 </extensions_store_constantcontact>
 </routers> 
 <layout>
 <updates>
 <extensions_store_constantcontact module="ExtensionsStore_ConstantContact">
 <file>extensions_store/constantcontact.xml</file>
 </extensions_store_constantcontact>
 </updates>
 </layout> 
 </frontend> 

Here is my controller file FormController.php

<?php
/**
 * ConstantContact form controller
 *
 * @category ExtensionsStore
 * @package ExtensionsStore_ConstantContact
 * @author Extensions Store <[email protected]>
 */
class ExtensionsStore_ConstantContact_FormController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action 
{
 public function indexAction() {
 echo 'Hello';exit;
 }
 protected function _initLayout()
 {
 $this->_initLayoutMessages('customer/session'); 
 return $this;
 }
 /**
 * Get singleton model
 * @return ExtensionsStore_ConstantContact_Model_Constantcontact
 */
 protected function _getModel()
 {
 $model = Mage::getSingleton('extensions_store_constantcontact/constantcontact');
 return $model;
 }
 /**
 * Subscribe page
 */
 public function subscribeAction()
 {
 if ($this->_getModel()->isReady()){
 $this->loadLayout()->_initLayout()->renderLayout();
 } else {
 $this->norouteAction();
 }
 }
 /**
 * Subscribe form action 
 * 
 */
 public function subscribePostAction()
 {
 if (!$this->_validateFormKey()) {
 $this->_redirect('*/*/subscribe');
 return;
 }
 if ($this->_getModel()->isReady() && $this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
 $data = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
 $result = $this->_getModel()->addUpdateContact($data);
 if ($result['error'] === false){
 Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('extensions_store_constantcontact')->__('We have received your information. Thank you for subscribing.'));
 } else {
 Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('extensions_store_constantcontact')->__('There was an error processing your request. Please, try again later'));
 }
 } else {
 Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('extensions_store_constantcontact')->__('There was an error processing your request. Please, try again later'));
 }
 $this->_redirect('*/*/subscribe');
 } 
}

also in module's readme file:

/constantcontact/form/subscribe URL for the use this extension...

can anyone tell me to solve this error.

• Mohit Kumar Arora: You are getting 404 error because you may not have enabled the extension from the settings.
• Harshil Parekh: I enabled the module from the settings. but not fill all the data. does it cause problem?
• Mohit Kumar Arora: Yes, since the extension requires Access key, access token, access secret, rate limit per day etc. to be configured, if you don't provide these values, the extension may not work.

Answer 1

The extension requires to be configured from the backend first before you start using it for the frontend.

There are many settings, without which the extension will not work.

The controller's subscribe action has the following code:

if ($this->_getModel()->isReady()){
 $this->loadLayout()->_initLayout()->renderLayout();
} else {
 $this->norouteAction();
}

which means if the model isReady() function returns false, then Magento will redirect to the 404 error page.

So, you need to first all the required settings to make the extension start working.

• Harshil Parekh: i enabled the extension and fill all the data but still goes to 404 on constantcontact , but when i goes with /constantcontact/form/subscribe then i see result. but can you tell me why am I not able to see result using constantcontact URL.
• Mohit Kumar Arora: @H_Parekh, since the controller file is FormController.php, you will be able to see the result on /constantcontact/form URL for your index action.
