this is how i add tab to AdminOrders tab to my free module: delete orders free

it adds new menu item to "orders" tab:

        $this->tabClassName = 'deleteorderstab';
        $this->tabParentName = 'AdminOrders';
        $tab->class_name = $this->tabClassName;
        $tab->id_parent = Tab::getIdFromClassName($this->tabParentName);
        $tab->module = $this->name;
        $languages = Language::getLanguages();
        foreach ($languages as $language)
          $tab->name[$language['id_lang']] = $this->displayName;
        $tab->add();

instead of adminOrders use adminCatalog :-)

Thanks you for the reply.

 

But one quick question, where should I put that code?

[vekia]

in installation function in your module .php file

Thanks vekia,

 

    public function install()
    {
        
        $this->tabClassName = 'deleteorderstab';
        $this->tabParentName = 'AdminCatalog';
        $tab->class_name = $this->tabClassName;
        $tab->id_parent = Tab::getIdFromClassName($this->tabParentName);
        $tab->module = $this->name;
        $languages = Language::getLanguages();
        foreach ($languages as $language)
          $tab->name[$language['id_lang']] = $this->displayName;
        $tab->add();
       
        return (parent::install()
            && Configuration::updateValue('posbang_productsorting_company', Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME'))
            && Configuration::updateValue('posbang_productsorting_address', '') && Configuration::updateValue('posbang_productsorting_phone', '')
            && Configuration::updateValue('posbang_productsorting_email', Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL'))
            && $this->registerHook('header') && $this->registerHook('footer'));
    }

 

That is how I do it, but I get this error below:

 

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module productsorting:
Call to undefined method stdClass::add()

you have to create $tab variable first, it must abe a Tab object

$tab = new Tab();

$tab = new Tab();

It worked thanks. But I messed up at first. How do I remove the wrong tabs? It won't disappear even if I uninstall the module.

 

Second question is, how can I put a link to my new added tab? When clicked, I want it to redirect to the module I made.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

you can remove wrong tabs under administration  > menu section in your back office

Thanks.. how to remove these links(attachment)..

Thank you for your patience

thse links works with module controllers

your module has got own admin controller?

 $this->tabClassName = 'deleteorderstab';
        $this->tabParentName = 'AdminCatalog';
        $tab->class_name = $this->tabClassName;

in this case it's 'deleteorderstab' admin controller, you have to create own controller

Thank you for your assistance. I've downloaded your free module and studied it.

But I'm really confused, I don't know how should I code it.

 

All I wanted is:

1. Install my module

2. A child 'link' will appear to the parent tab 'AdminCatalog' after installation

3. The 'link' will redirect me to the module I made.

 

Your module is what I'm really talking about. It is what I really needed.

 

Can you instruct me step by step how? Thanks :> much appreciated!
