Hi, The list.tpl cannot be found. I thought that there would be a default template for that, which uses the ExtJs model infomation to render the columns… I’m using this “tutorial” [https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/backend-components/basics/](https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/backend-components/basics/) I come across an error, before starting the section “The last 25% to complete our application”. I’m using Shopware 5.2.9, maybe I forgot something or the tutorial needs an update. Maybe someone can help Regards Jakob   Here the full error: Ups! Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten!

Did you unzip the installation package directly on the server? It seems that some files went missing during the upload. ---

This far I used my own model etc. I didn’t want to rebuild tutorial. I will check the zip.  ---

I installed via git. I don’t think something went missing. The tutorial AND the mentioned zip (SwagProductBasics.zip) from the tutorial do not include any tpl files. Nonetheless the backend seems to look for a ``` backend/pos/list.tpl ``` where pos is the controller and model name I used in in ExtJs. Shouldn’t a standard list grid be rendered out of the box by definition of the model? Thats how I understand the tutorial. Why is it looking for a backend/customcontrollername/list.tpl ? //EDIT: maybe important to mention I used the new Plugin structure under [sw]/custom/plugins and the PSR4 loaded controller with the naming convention like this ``` get('kernel')->getPlugins()['PluginName']; $this->get('template')->addTemplateDir($plugin->getPath() . '/Resources/views/'); } } ``` and [pluginDir]/Resources/views/ holds all the ExtJs files from the tutorial (see screenshot) ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/2X/b/b1a23a3789d1a3d9871c26a2d6b0e5fc25ec56d4.png) ---

Also I couldn’t find any example of a file named list.tpl in the whole SW folder. This is weird. ---

Anyone? I’m just trying to accomplish basic behavior. ---

The backend controller should just render a json response. Therefore I don’t see why a tpl file is needed. ---

Alright, maybe someone faces the same problem. So here the solution. I forgot to call the ``` parent::preDispatch(); ``` in which the following code is found ``` if (!in_array($this->Request()->getActionName(), array('index', 'load', 'skeleton', 'extends'))) { $this->Front()->Plugins()->Json()->setRenderer(); } ``` This tells the controller to use the JSON renderer if a non-init action (like **list** ) is called. Thanks for helping anyway…
