How to use getUrl() in Magento to refer to another module?

Question

My module in Magento adminpanel has URL like as http://example.com/index.php/mymodule/... and contains custom grid with the orders. I want to redirect user to the standard "Order view" page when he clicks on a grid row.

public function getRowUrl($row)
{
    if (Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->isAllowed('sales/order/actions/view')) {
        return $this->getUrl('sales_order/view', array('order_id' => $row->getId()));
    }
    return false;
}

But this URL points to http://example.com/index.php/sales_order/view/... instead of http://example.com/index.php/admin/sales_order/view/... Any suggestion?

UPD. config.xml:

<admin>
    <routers>
        <mymodule>
            <use>admin</use>
            <args>
                <module>Foo_Mymodule</module>
                <frontName>mymodule</frontName>
            </args>
        </mymodule>
    </routers>
</admin>

Take a look at the correct config from [How to get the URL of a page/section in Magento admin](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6877683/how-to-get-the-url-of-a-page-section-in-magento-admin/6881211#6881211) — clockworkgeek, Sep 05 '11 at 10:08
@clockworkgeek Thank you. Please look at my updated post. It looks similair to that case of config.xml, doesn't it? — silex, Sep 05 '11 at 11:26
Your `frontName` is `mymodule` but if you copy the example more closely it will be able to use `admin` instead. — clockworkgeek, Sep 05 '11 at 11:40
My controller has a path `Foo/Mymodule/Adminhtml/MymoduleController.php` I've tried to set ` Foo_Mymodule_Adminhtml_Mymodule ` instead of current config, but attempt to access to module main page as `http://example.com/index.php/admin/mymodule/mymodule/index` appears 404 error. — silex, Sep 05 '11 at 12:09

Quite simply you need to replace sales_order/view with */sales_order/view. The * means use the current router which in the admin is adminhtml.

Edit
To explain in more detail put this in your config,

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <mymodule after="Mage_Adminhtml">Foo_Mymodule_Adminhtml</mymodule>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

Now the value */mymodule/index will generate an URL http://example.com/index.php/admin/mymodule/index which in turn will load the file Foo/Mymodule/controllers/Adminhtml/MymoduleController.php and try to find the method Foo_Mymodule_Adminhtml_MymoduleController::indexAction(). If the method exists it is run, otherwise the admin router takes over and shows a 404 or redirects to the dashboard.

With `*/sales_order/view` it points to `http://example.com/index.php/mymodule/sales_order/view/`. I'm also surprised. – silex Sep 05 '11 at 11:23

Thanks for your comment above, I've totally rewrote routing and paths in layout config, so everything works fine now with `*/sales_order/view`. – silex Sep 05 '11 at 13:06
How did you rewrite things? I have exactly the same problem! using **/sales_order/view* also redirects me to *index.php/mymodule/sales_order/view/* instead of *index.php/admin/sales_order/view/*. Thanks for your help! – EOB Jan 23 '12 at 14:15
