How to create new tab in admin

Mukesh Ravi · May 22, 2013

Hi everyone,

I want to create new tab in admin for my module.

How to create a new tab.

someone can help me.....!!

Thanks

NemoPS · May 22, 2013

You must create a back office controller. In your module's folder this would be the structure

controllers/admin/AdminModuleName.php

This file class must be named like

class AdminmodulenameController extends ModuleAdminController.

You can choose to add it when installing the module, or youy can add it manually from the admin menu. You can find an extended explanation in the prestashop docs

"Thanks for your response"

I make the same inside my module folder. and add a new tab from admin. but no benefit.

I think I am doing something wrong.

So please explain in detail , i am not getting it right.

Also I want to add tab(under home category i,e. root level) at the time of module installation.

So please tell me what code to use for it.

waiting for your response.........

Hello All,

I have gone through the vast posts on this forum regarding creation of backoffice admin tabs. I have been able to successfully create the tabs. I can load the list but view and edit are not working! I am not sure of what I am doing wrongly! Kindly help. Below is the relevant portion of my code:

Object Model

===========

class InterswitchData extends ObjectModel

{

public $customername;

public $order_reference;

public $txn_reference;

public $ret_reference;

public $pay_reference;

public $order_amount;

public $txn_fee;

public $total_payable;

public $status;

public $response_code;

public $response_description;

public $card_number;

/**

* @see ObjectModel::$definition

*/

public static $definition = array(

'table' => 'interswitch_data',

'primary' => 'id_interswitch_data',

'multilang' => true,

'fields' => array(

'customername' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'order_reference' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'txn_reference' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'ret_reference' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'pay_reference' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'order_amount' => array('type' => self::TYPE_FLOAT, 'validate' => 'isPrice'),

'txn_fee' => array('type' => self::TYPE_FLOAT, 'validate' => 'isPrice'),

'total_payable' => array('type' => self::TYPE_FLOAT, 'validate' => 'isPrice'),

'status' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'response_code' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'response_description' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

'card_number' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),

),

);

}

Admin Controller

================

Any tutorial about creating a bunch of tabs during the install of the module and deleting them as soon as the module is uninstalled for ps 1.6.x please? I tried your suggestions but no solution

Any tutorial about creating a bunch of tabs during the install of the module and deleting them as soon as the module is uninstalled for ps 1.6.x please? I tried your suggestions but no solution

This code should help

public function install()
	{
		
								
		// Install Tabs
		$parent_tab = new Tab();
		// Need a foreach for the language
		$parent_tab->name[$this->context->language->id] = $this->l('Main Tab Example');
		$parent_tab->class_name = 'AdminControllerParentClassName';
		$parent_tab->id_parent = 0; // Home tab
		$parent_tab->module = $this->name;
		$parent_tab->add();
		
		
		$tab = new Tab();		
		// Need a foreach for the language
		$tab->name[$this->context->language->id] = $this->l('Tab Example');
		$tab->class_name = 'AdminExample';
		$tab->id_parent = $parent_tab->id;
		$tab->module = $this->name;
		$tab->add();
				
			
   	return parent::install();
 }

public function uninstall() {
        
        
        $tab = new Tab((int)Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminExample'));
        $tab->delete();
        $tabMain = new Tab((int)Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminControllerParentClassName'));
        $tabMain->delete();
        
        // Uninstall Module
        if (!parent::uninstall())
            return false;
            
        
        return true;
    }

I need to add a tab for a module that is already installed, any thoughts?

NemoPS · March 11, 2016

You can use the previous code in a custom function, and have that trigger when you submit a certain button in the module's back office, when it runs the postProcess method

Nuno42 · March 20, 2016

I found this code but it's not working, can you help me please? i want to create menu tabs that link to specific module pages,

i created this controller and linkedit at backoffice, but it gives me the 500 error,

Thank you

<?php

class AdmintabController extends AdminController

{

public function __construct()

{

$url = 'index.php?controller=AdminCmsContent&id_cms=4&updatecms';

$url .= '&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules');

Tools::redirectAdmin($url);

}

NemoPS · March 21, 2016

Where did you add that?
You are missing all of the required info for the construct anyway, like these

        $this->bootstrap = true;
        $this->table = 'order';
        $this->className = 'Order';
        $this->lang = false;
        $this->addRowAction('view');
        $this->explicitSelect = true;
        $this->allow_export = true;
        $this->deleted = false;
        $this->context = Context::getContext();

But there is more, like the select to get items. If you are interested, I have a modules development course that covers that

Nuno42 · March 21, 2016

Hi Nemo,

I created a Admintabcontroller file at admin/controllers,

I just need to connect the buttons to the modules pages, like it happens at the quick acess menu, if you have a course for this i would be happy to do it!

NemoPS · March 21, 2016

Here nemops.com/prestashop-modules-course/
Please notice it teaches you how to create back office pages with modules (automatically)
You will still be able to do it manually of course, just skipping the module definition part and using the folder you used now
