i am trying to add a new element using CBI as well as View (Template) using the openwrt Doc link is here :- https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/luci
i have created a new element using CBI method but when i am trying to do the same thing using View(template ) i am getting is error:-

Failed to execute template dispatcher target for entry '/admin/status/view'.
The called action terminated with an exception:
/usr/lib/lua/luci/template.lua:74: Failed to load template 'admin_status/view'.
Error while parsing template '/usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status/view.htm':

wulfy i have used the same code from the openwrt website this one :-
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/luci

<%+header%>                                                                    
<h1><%:Hello World%></h1>                                                      
<%+footer%>

and the error is generated when i click on the view table on the webpage ?
there is not line 63 in my view(template) code .

Please post the output of cat /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status/view.htm

cat /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/myapp-mymodule/view_tab.htm

<%+header%>
<h1><%:Hello World%></h1>
<%+footer%>

view_tab.htm != view.htm
/usr/lib/lua/luci/view/myapp-mymodule != /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status

i have referred this link to make my view tab:-https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/luci
and jow what do i do with you method ( view_tab.htm != view.htm
/usr/lib/lua/luci/view/myapp-mymodule != /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status)
because i didn't understand it ?

10

I want you to please provide the output of cat /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status/view.htm because this is the broken file. The contents of view_tab.htm are not relevant at this point.

11

ok here is the ouput
cat /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/myapp-mymodule/view_tab.htm
output

i have add comment in this code

Not cat /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/myapp-mymodule/view_tab.htm, but cat /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status/view.htm.

The broken file is in a different path.
