Add tabs to weblog mcp

Wired,

Care to be a little more specific about what you mean by tab?

Do you mean the main set of tabs along the top?

Publish|Edit|Modules|Etc…

Or are you talking about something else?

The main set of Tabs only has one officially supported way of adding a tab. And that is to go to a CP page and click “New Tab” on the top right of the page.

Sorry by tab I mean

Something like this, when i try to edit a weblog, i would like to add an option to this list, in which I can add my own code.

So you want to add a tab to the Publish form while adding or editing an entry. Editing a weblog is very different from editing an entry. Thus why I was so confused.

To do that you would need to write an Extension.

It is going to require some PHP/MySQL ability obviously.

The extension hooks you will need to affect are:

publish_form_new_tabs publish_form_new_tabs_block

You will also want to use a hook to deal with whatever controls you have in the new tab. The hook you choose for that will depend on your specific needs.

See this thread for reference and a sample extension.
