title: Helper class not found
body: <p>I'm trying to develop an extension that would add a form on the Admin side of Magento, but, for some reason, I can't seem to be able to even get Magento Administration to load when my module is installed. I'm at the very beginning of the development, and I'm stuck on an error that has been reported several times on StackOverflow. Unfortunately, none of the answers seem to help in my case.</p>
  
  <p>The error I get is *Fatal error: Class 'Mage_Mycompany_Logviewer_Helper_Data' not found in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\magento\app\Mage.php on line 546*. That should mean that Magento can't find the helper class, but it's there and its name matches the one it's looking for (except for the "Mage_" at the beginning, that I never used in any other extension anyway).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update 2012/07/29</strong><br>
  The error occurs as soon as I log in into Magento Admin. When I click "Login", all I get is an error page, nothing is rendered.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the content of all the files I have so far.</p>

  <p>All the above have been copied from an <a href="http://turnkeye.com/blog/magento-admin-form/#more-1789" rel="nofollow">example I found online</a>, I just replaced the Namespace and the Module name with <em>Mycompany</em> and <em>Logviewer</em>, respectively. I'm pretty sure it's something obvious I forgot, but I can't figure out what it could be. Thanks for the help.</p>
