Custom Login module creation in Magento

Custom Login module creation in Magento

Magento is an open source ecommerce solution. Magento module development have a certain standard procedures. Let us look in to the new custom module creation.

Create one folder local inside app/code/. This local folder is used for our custom module creation. This folder will not affect any upgrade of magento in future if any.

/app/code |- /core/ |- /community/ |- /local/

Inside this local folder create another folder called as Name Space, inside that folder create another folder, it is usually called as modulename.

App/code/local/Test/Mymodule.

app/code/local/Test/Mymodule/

here Test is our Name Space and Mymodule is our modulename

How to activating the module

Create a file Test_Mymodule.xml in app/etc/modules/, this will tell Magento to look for and use our custom module. 

create config.xml file in app/code/local/Test/Mymodule/etc

Then create a controller file called as IndexController.php in app/code/local/Test/Mymodule/controllers

 

inside that file write our indexaction

 

Create login Action function

 

 

Now let's create mymodule.xml file in app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/

 

Create a template file callled as view.phtml in app/design/frontend/default/default/template/mymodule

this is our login form

 

create a Block file called as Mymodule.php in app/code/local/Test/Mymodule/Block/ the block folder might not be there, we have to create the same.

 

type this url in your browser and check the custom login module http://localhost/Projectname/mymodule
