magento indexControllor.php url rewriting not working properly

Hi i build a indexcontrollor in module brand like this

class Blank_Brand_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller开发者_如何学Go_Front_Action
{

    public function indexAction()
    {

        echo 'Foo Index Action';
        $this->addaction();
    }

    public function addAction()
    {
        echo 'Foo add Action';
        $this->deleteAction();
    }

}

When I put in the address: http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/, it echos Foo Index Action

With this URL, though, it does nothing: http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/add

What could be the problem here causing this? This could save a lot of problems for me which I have with URL rewriting in Magento!

It's a common oversight.

This url

http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/

is equivalent to this url

http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/index/index

The URI portion "brand" is your module. The first "index" URI portion is your controller, the second "index" URI portion is your action method.

Module:     brand
Controller: index
Action:     index

So, let's consider this URL

http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/add

This is equivalent to

http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/add/index

Which gives us

Module:     brand
Controller: add
Action:     index

The URL you're trying to call is looking for a controller named

class Blank_Brand_AddController ....

When it doesn't find one, it reports back 404.

If you wanted to call the addAction method on your index controller, you'd want the following URL

http://www.myshop.com/index.php/brand/index/add

I wrote an article on this - perhaps it would help: http://prattski.com/2010/06/24/magento-overriding-core-files-blocks-models-resources-controllers/
