add admin tab

[clarkk]

Hi

 

I'm trying to add an admin tab..

 

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Creating+a+PrestaShop+module#CreatingaPrestaShopmodule-CreatingaPrestaShopmodule

 

Creating the module's back-office tab, and its class

 

Have followed the instructions, and now I need to add the tab

 

"Put the files online, then create the tab by going to the "Employee" tab, then its "Tabs" sub-tab. Click the "Add new" button, and fill-in the fields with the class' name, "AdminTest". Do not confuse "class" with "modules"! Choose an icon (like one from the FamFamFam icon pack: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/), choose where the tab should go, and save. You are set! Now start customizing it to your needs!"

 

But I don't think it gives sense? I can't find any Employee tab in the backoffice section

[PrestaHeroes USA]

try this (1.5)

Ok

 

Have now added this in the db

 

table: ps_tab

 

parent_id: 0

class_name: AdminTest

module: Test

position: 12

active: 1

 

I still don't see any new tab?! I can add the menu under a parent, but can't add it as a primary tab in the menu bar?

 

Edit: I need to install the menu from a module installation

I have almost the same issue. I can add the tab, but when i click in the button, it says :

Controler not found

 

The controler admintest is missing or is invalid.

maybe this will be a little more clear:

 

http://screencast.com/t/O9lyxfea

 

 $this->name = 'multidomainpro40';

 if( !$this->adminInstall())
  return FALSE;

 

here is an example of adding the admin tab dynamically via your module code(1.4 but should also work in 1.5)...

 

private function adminInstall()
{
 if (!$idTab = Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminContactMultiShop')) {
  $tab = new Tab();
  $tab->class_name = 'AdminContactMultiShop';
  $tab->module = $this->name;
  $tab->id_parent = 9;
  $languages = Language::getLanguages(false);
  foreach ($languages as $lang)
$tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = 'PrestaMultiShop';
  $res &= $tab->save();
  $tab->name[(int)(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'))] = $this->l('AdminContactMultiShop');
 }
 return TRUE;
}

 

uninstall code:

 

 $tab = new Tab(Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminContactMultiShop'));

 $tab->delete();

The code is not working..

 

The tab is not installed.. I need to add a new tab with it's own submenu / dopdownmenu

 

class Dynaccount extends Module {
const TBL_CACHE = 'dynaccount_cache';
const TBL_LOG = 'dynaccount_log';

public function __construct(){
	$this->name = 'dynaccount';
	$this->tab = 'Dynaccount';
	$this->version = 1.0;
	$this->author = 'Dynaccount';
	$this->need_instance = 0;

	parent::__construct();

	$this->displayName = $this->l('Dynaccount');
	$this->description = $this->l('Dynaccount API integration');
}

private function adminInstall(){
	if(!$idTab = Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminDynaccountCache')){
		$tab = new Tab();
		$tab->class_name = 'AdminDynaccountCache';
		$tab->module = $this->name;
		$tab->id_parent = 0;
		$languages = Language::getLanguages(false);
		foreach($languages as $lang){
			$tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = $this->tab;
		}

		$res &= $tab->save();
		$tab->name[(int)(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'))] = $this->l('AdminDynaccountCache');
	}

	return true;
}

public function install(){
	if(!parent::install() || !$this->registerHook('actionPaymentConfirmation') || !$this->registerHook('actionProductAdd')){
		return false;
	}

    $this->adminInstall();

	Db::getInstance()->Execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `"._DB_PREFIX_.self::TBL_CACHE."` ("
		."`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,"
		."`is_booked` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL,"
		."`time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,"
		."`order_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,"
		."`invoice_number` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,"
		."`total` decimal(8,2) NOT NULL,"
		."`vat` decimal(8,2) NOT NULL,"
		."PRIMARY KEY (`id`),"
		."KEY `is_booked` (`is_booked`))");

	Db::getInstance()->Execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `"._DB_PREFIX_.self::TBL_LOG."` ("
		."`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,"
		."`time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,"
		."`msg` varchar(255) NOT NULL,"
		."PRIMARY KEY (`id`))");

	return true;
}

public function hookActionProductAdd($params){
	$params['order_id'] = 1;

	if($order = $this->get_order($params['order_id'])){
		$this->put_cache($params['order_id'], $order);
	}

	$this->update_cache();
}

public function hookActionPaymentConfirmation($params){

}
}

[clarkk]

the row is created in the ps_tab table in the database, but no new tab in the menu bar?

[clarkk]

@ elpatron

 

Ok, I have given up trying to add a new menu point, but instead adding it as a child to "Orders"

 

This code works in version 1.5, but not in 1.4

 

Could you please help?

 

if(!Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminDynaccountCache')){
$tab = new Tab();
$tab->class_name = 'AdminDynaccountCache';
$tab->id_parent = 10;
$tab->module = $this->name;
$languages = Language::getLanguages(false);
foreach($languages as $lang){
	$tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = 'Dynaccount cache';
}
$tab->save();
}
