I'm adding a button to the toolbar using

JToolBarHelper::addNew('thing.add');

I want it to have the same effect as clicking on the following menu button:

    <menu
        view="thing"
        layout="add"
        img="class:banners"
        alt="Add thing"
        >
        Add thing
    </menu>

Is this possible? Seems like addNew cannot be used to use a view from another controller? I can get the button to use the method add from controller thing, but not to use view add from thing.

Edit: Fixed by messing around with controller/model naming.
