How delete Tab from Admin BO?

[Cosmin T.]

Hi, guis. I have one problem. After uninstall one module, remain tab in menu Admin.

How remove this tab?

Hi!

 

First of all, it's important to say that you have Prestashop 1.7.x, so this solution is also related to this version.

 

 

Problem:

So let's say I have some items in the sidebar that were added by some module. The module has been already uninstalled, but the items remain in the sidebar.  (Screenshot "problem.png")

 

 

 

Solution #1 (the clean one):

Please make sure to archive your DB first. Just in case.

 

Access you DB and locate the table "prefix_tab". View the content of the table. You can find all the items that are in the sidebar.

(screenshot "db1.png")

As you can see, I can quickly locate all the rows that are related to the module "ptm_controlcenter". Check the "id_tab" column and now remember all the IDs related to this module (in this case it's 132-137) 

 

Now access the table "prefix_tab_lang" and remove all rows that have the column ID between 132-137 in the "id_tab". (screenshot "db2.png")

 

Get back to "prefix_tab" table and remove these rows ("id_tab" between 132-137) as well.

 

Done! (screenshot "solved.png")

 

 

Solution #2 (the quick one):

Please make sure to archive your DB first. Just in case.

 

Access you DB and locate the table "prefix_tab". View the content of the table. You can find all the items that are in the sidebar. 

(screenshot "db1.png")

Change the value "1" to "0" in the Active column for all the related rows.

 

Done! (screenshot "solved.png")

Hello, which module is this one. You can search the tab name in tab and tab language the remove it.

 

Then it will remove.

 

Thank you

i was playing around with module Slick Slider Homefeatured, see link, and when changed  0 to another tab numbers in line 29: ($parent_tab->id_parent = 0; // Home tab) - messed up the BO.

I did not seen any reference to Slick Slider in "prefix_tab_lang", that is why I wrote - in PS 1.7.6.5 probably no need to go to this table in database

sorry, you are right,

I did other things too while trying to get this module work, unsuccessful though,

I think I added a similar pice of code:

  public function addModuleToTab()
    {
        $tab = new Tab();
        $tab->name[(int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT')] = \Tools::ucfirst($this->name);
        $tab->class_name = 'AdminSlickSlider';
        $tab->id_parent = (int)Tab::getIdFromClassName('CONFIGURE');
        $tab->module = $this->name;
        $tab->add();
    }

change ps with your table name and run this code in database then you will fine the  id_tab which you need to delete and also from ps_tabl_lag table

SELECT *  FROM `ps_tab` WHERE `c lass_name` LIKE '%AdminSl ickSlider %'

Thank you
