Cakephp 3 Element file is missing

I have the problem that my navbar.ctp element isnt loading i only get the error message from cakephp

Element file "Element/navbar.ctp" is missing.

My code in my default layout of cakephp (because i want the navbar in all "views")

<?php
    echo $this->element('navbar');
?>

and my element is in Layout/Element/navbar.ctp

So i dont unterstand why it says me that my element is missing. Do i have anything missing? I hope someone could help me with the problem. I dont have much information, because its not complicated per se.

Solution

  • I think you have the file in the wrong folder.

    Check the cookbook:

    Elements live in the src/Template/Element/ folder, and have the .ctp filename extension. They are output using the element method of the view:

    echo $this->element('helpbox');
