Magento：IndexController不会加载phtml文件

Question

As mentioned in the title I can't get my IndexController to load my view.phtml within it's index (or any other) action. Hopefully someone can help tell me what I'm doing wrong/missing. Here is what I got:

app/etc/modules/ Namespace_MyModule.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config>
    <modules>
        <Namespace_MyModule>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Namespace_MyModule>
    </modules>
</config>

app/code/local/Namespace/MyModule/etc/ config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<config>
    <modules>
        <Namespace_MyModule>
            <version>0.3</version>
        </Namespace_MyModule>
    </modules>


    <frontend>

        <layout>
            <updates>
                <namespace_mymodule>
                    <file>mymodule.xml</file>
                </namespace_mymodule>
            </updates>
        </layout>

        <routers>
             <namespace_mymodule>
                <use>standard</use>
                  <args>
                     <module>Namespace_MyModule</module>
                     <frontName>something</frontName>
                  </args>
             </namespace_mymodule>
        </routers>

    </frontend>

</config>

app/design/frontend/default/namespace/layout/ mymodule.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<layout version="0.1.0">

    <something_index_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="namespace_mymodule_view" template="mymodule/view.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </something_index_index>

</layout>

app/code/local/Namespace/MyModule/controllers/ IndexController.php

<?php

class Namespace_MyModule_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {

    public function indexAction() {
        $this->loadLayout();
        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

app/design/frontend/default/namespace/template/mymodule/ view.phtml

<h1><?php echo "What ever"; ?></h1>

Answer 1

You did a mistake in layout file. You have specify the handle like

frontname_controller_action

So try this code

<layout version="0.1.0">

    <something_index_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="namespace_mymodule_view" template="mymodule/view.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </something_index_index>

</layout>

Ok I got it fixed now. Some may hate me for this but the problem was that my template wasn't loaded. I had to change settings in Magento admin area.

General->Design->Themes->Templates->"Your Template" (In my case namespace) General->Design->Themes->Layout->"Your Template" (In my case namespace)

or simply add it to

General->Design->Themes->Default->"Your Template" (In my case namespace)

wich works the same way since Magento has a fallback system.

Now I'm wondering how to add custom phtml files without the need of putting them in the template folder you are currently using but thats another topic.

Thanks Meenakshi Sundaram R for the help and thanks to everyone who took his time to read through all this.
