Adding an extra tab to the publish page.

Tag 2.0 does add a tab so this is possible, for sure. I’m not sure if you have the beta to be able to examine how it’s done, though.

Id love to test out the beta if possible!

I was a beta tester for Solspaces Membership Module so I have some experience.

Otherwise if you could post some snippets of how it is done it would be a start and greatly appreciated.

Oh, I have no idea. I’m just a beta tester for it. You might post in the solspace.com forums if you are curious about it. I’m not a programmer though so I can’t really help there, just knew of that as a third party module with that ability. =)

Ah is Tags 2.0 a Solspace module?

Yes, it is. The beta testing is in progress, and, I believe, no new testers are needed at this point. Tag 2.0 should be released, hm, August-ish, if that is a word. Take with a grain of salt.

In cp.publish.php there’s the ‘publish_form_new_tabs_block’. That lets you add code for a new tab. And you have to use the ‘publish_form_new_tabs’-hook for the javascript show/hide funtionality.

I have created two extensions that add tabs on the Publish page.

Extensions are: “Easy_shop” creates the “Product” tab and the “Easy_gallery” creates the “Gallery” tab.

If I activate both of them only one tab shows. If I disable one, the other appears and vice versa. I use the same code for them. I’m trying to check if the ‘publish_form_new_tabs’ only loads one Tab. :(

For Gallery and something very similar for Easy_shop.

$DB->query($DB->insert_string('exp_extensions',
                                      array(
'extension_id' => '',
'class'        => "Easy_gallery",
'method'       => "publish_form_new_tabs",
'hook'         => "publish_form_new_tabs",
'settings'     => "",
'priority'     => 9,
'version'      => $this->version,
'enabled'      => "y"
                                     )
                  );

function publish_form_new_tabs($publish_tabs, $weblog_id, $entry_id, $hidden) {

        $publish_tabs['gallery'] = 'Gallery';

        return $publish_tabs;
    }
