Description

I have a neos backend module and want to link to another controller. The controller is not straight under the controller folder but under Controller/Module/MyModule/.

I tried linking to MyController like that:

<f:link.action action="index" controller="Module\Module\MyController" class="btn neos-button">

but it just doesnt work.

I found an existing "example" for this:

<f:link.action package="TYPO3.Neos" controller="Backend\Backend" action="index">Content</f:link.action>

under \Packages\Application\TYPO3.Neos\Resources\Private\Templates\Backend\Content\Container.html

but that is also not working.

I don't know if this has ever worked or not so i don't know if its possible to trace it back to a working state.

Hi Simon,

as mentioned in the Hangout this is not actually a bug (If I'm not completely wrong).
The reason is that the backend modules are a bit "special" when it comes to MVC:
All module requests go to the Backend controller of Neos. The actual module to be called is encoded in the "module" argument as you can see from the Module routes:

 1-
 2  name: 'Backend - Modules'
 3  uriPattern: 'neos/{module}'
 4  defaults:
 5    '@package':    'TYPO3.Neos'
 6    '@controller': 'Backend\Module'
 7    '@action':     'index'
 8    '@format':     'html'
 9  routeParts:
10    module:
11      handler: TYPO3\Neos\Routing\BackendModuleRoutePartHandler

So you're link should look something like:

1<f:link.action package="TYPO3.Neos" controller="Backend\Backend" action="index" additionalArguments="{module: 'yourmodulename', controller: '\Your\ModuleController', action: 'index'}" class="btn neos-button">Content</f:link.action>

But the "right" way to do this is to use the link.module ViewHelper provided by Neos:

1{namespace neos=TYPO3\Neos\ViewHelpers}
2<neos:link.module path="yourmodulename" class="btn neos-button">Cancel</neos:link.module>
