Hi,

I am very new to Oxwall and I got started with the plugin crash course. I created a boilerplate plugin. I am able to activate it, see the pages created etc. I ran to two problems, one of which is a roadblock.

1. The view does not get loaded.
Folder:giftrequest/controller
File:request.php
class GIFTREQUEST_CTRL_Request extends OW_ActionController
{
public function index()
{
$this->setPageTitle("My Gift Requests");
$this->setPageHeading("My Gift Requests");
//The above settings work and show up on the page

However, the view is not loading.
Folder:giftrequest/view/controller/
request_index.html

Test html

2. I added a menu item in activate.php
OW::getNavigation()->addMenuItem(OW_Navigation::BOTTOM, 'giftrequest.index', 'giftrequest', 'bottom_menu_item', OW_Navigation::VISIBLE_FOR_ALL);

This adds a menu item called giftrequest+bottom_menu_item

3. I enabled dec mode on the config file. What effect does this make? Should I follow a debug log file or something?

Any hints on solving the problem is highly appreciated. Thanks.
