Question

I can't get my head wrap around this.

I have this controller

namespace   Vendor\Gift\Controller\Adminhtml\Gift;

use Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context;

class Index extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
{
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory
     */
    protected $resultPageFactory;

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context
     */
    public function __construct(
            Context $context
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    public function execute()
    {       
        $resultPage = $this->resultFactory->create(\Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory::TYPE_PAGE);
        return  $resultPage;
    }

}

This layout in view/adminhtml/layout/vendor_gift_index.xml

EDIT:

Changed layout to view/adminhtml/layout/gift_gift_index.xml after this answer

https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/102800/36102

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="styles"/>
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
           <block class="Vendor\Gift\Block\Adminhtml\Gift\Index"  name="vendor.gift.index"  
                    template="Vendor_Gift::gift/index.phtml"  />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

And a template file in: 

view/adminhtml/templates/gift/index.phtml

and a block

namespace Vendor\Gift\Block\Adminhtml\Gift;

class Index extends  \Magento\Backend\Block\Template
{
    protected $_template = 'gift/index.phtml';

    public function __construct(
            \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context
    ) { 
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    protected function _toHtml() {
        return $this->_template;
    }
}

Why is my output on the page just showing :

Vendor_Gift::gift/index.phtml

instead of the html from the template. Really stuck on this and so close... someone help, please

Was it helpful?

Solution

Your file name needs to be changed like this:

From

vendor_gift_index.xml

To

gift_gift_index.xml

OTHER TIPS

https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/102800/36102

combined with remove 

protected function _toHtml() {
    return $this->_template;
}

I have no idea why this worked, but it actually passes variables from the Block to the template and parses the html content of the template, which is awesome :)
