No content is loaded on custom customer tab / Content file not loaded

Question

The problem: I have a scenario where I need my customer to have an extra tab in their account settings panel (left sidebar). The content of this tab should be defined in /app/design/frontend/$namespace/$template/templates/atropos/customer/view.phtml. The content of the file is currently a lot of Lorem Ipsum-text.

Here are my files:

local.xml /app/design/frontend/$namespace/$template/layout/local.xml

<layout>
...
 <customer_account> 
 <reference name="customer_account_navigation"> 
 <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="CustomerAttribute">
 <name>CustomerAttribute</name>
 <path>customerattribute/customer/view</path>
 <label>JarEinstellungen bearbeiten</label>
 </action>
 </reference>
 </customer_account> 
 <CustomerAttribute>
 <update handle="CustomerAttribute"/>
 <reference name="content">
 <block type="CustomerAttribute/customer" name="view.CustomerAttribute" template="atropos/customer/view.phtml"/>
 </reference>
 </CustomerAttribute>
...
</layout>

I assumed that the MVC will now load the template, which is located on /app/design/frontend/$namespace/$template/template/atropos/customer/view.phtml. This is not the case, and also this is the problem, which I cannot sort out quiet yet.

config.xml /app/code/local/Atropos/CustomerAttribute/etc/config.xml

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
 <modules>
 <Atropos_CustomerAttribute>
 <version>0.1.0</version>
 </Atropos_CustomerAttribute>
 </modules>
 <frontend>
 <routers>
 <customerattribute>
 <use>standard</use>
 <args>
 <module>Atropos_CustomerAttribute</module>
 <frontName>customerattribute</frontName>
 </args>
 </customerattribute>
 </routers>
 <layout>
 <updates>
 <customerattribute>
 <file>customerattribute.xml</file>
 </customerattribute>
 </updates>
 </layout>
 </frontend>
 <global>
 <helpers>
 <CustomerAttribute>
 <class>Atropos_CustomerAttribute_Helper</class>
 </CustomerAttribute>
 </helpers>
 <blocks>
 <CustomerAttribute>
 <class>Atropos_CustomerAttribute_Block</class>
 </CustomerAttribute>
 </blocks>
 <models>
 <CustomerAttribute>
 <class>Atropos_CustomerAttribute_Model</class>
 <resourceModel>customerattribute_mysql4</resourceModel>
 </CustomerAttribute>
 </models>
 <resources>
 <customerattribute1444918007_setup>
 <setup>
 <module>Atropos_CustomerAttribute</module>
 <class>Mage_Customer_Model_Entity_Setup</class>
 </setup>
 <connection>
 <use>core_setup</use>
 </connection>
 </customerattribute1444918007_setup>
 <customerattribute1444918007_write>
 <connection>
 <use>core_write</use>
 </connection>
 </customerattribute1444918007_write>
 <customerattribute1444918007_read>
 <connection>
 <use>core_read</use>
 </connection>
 </customerattribute1444918007_read>
 </resources>
 </global>
</config> 

Someone might see here that I used the Magento Module Generator to get the code since I'm not a Magento Pro yet.

Data.php /app/code/local/Atropos/CustomerAttribute/Helper/Data.php

<?php
class Atropos_CustomerAttribute_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}

CustomerController.php /app/code/local/Atropos/CustomerAttribute/controllers/CustomerController.php

<?php
class Atropos_CustomerAttribute_CustomerController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{ 
 /**
 * Checking if user is logged in or not
 * If not logged in then redirect to customer login
 */
 public function preDispatch()
 {
 parent::preDispatch();
 if (!Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->authenticate($this)) {
 $this->setFlag('', 'no-dispatch', true);
 // adding message in customer login page
 Mage::getSingleton('core/session')
 ->addSuccess(Mage::helper('customerattribute')->__('Please sign in or create a new account'));
 }
 } 
 /**
 * View Your Module
 */
 public function viewAction()
 { 
 $this->loadLayout(); 
 $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setTitle($this->__('JarEinstellungen bearbeiten')); 
 $this->renderLayout();
 }
} 

My Question is now: what did I've done wrong. Any typo error? I can't see anything here. Again, I'm by far not experienced with Magento, just doing baby steps to become Marius.

I would appreciate any helpful tips! Thank you

Answer 1

you missed the router for frontend add if outside of global tag

<frontend>
 <routers>
 <CustomerAttribute>
 <use>standard</use>
 <args>
 <module>Atropos_CustomerAttribute</module>
 <frontName>customerattribute</frontName>
 </args>
 </CustomerAttribute>
 </routers>
 </frontend>
