After creating my extension, what is the root for my new tab?

Question

1- I create a plugin with my hook :

function wordpress_civicrm_tabs( &$tabs, $contactID ) { // unset the contribition tab, i.e. remove it from the page //unset( $tabs[1] );

// let's add a new "contribution" tab with a different name and put it last
// this is just a demo, in the real world, you would create a url which would
// return an html snippet etc.

$url = CRM_Utils_System::url('civicrm/order',"reset=1&snippet=json&force=1&cid=$contactID" );
$tabs[] = array( 'id'    => 'orderTab',
                 'url'   => $url,
                 'title' => 'Orders',
                 'weight' => 1 );

}

With this function I added a new tab.

2- I enter in Administer/System Settings/Directory the location of my extension ..wp-content\plugins\ccbc_order_tab\ccbc.order\

3- I use civix to create my extension ccbc.order and in my folder I create a page:order

4.- My order.xml created in xml/Menu/order.xml it shows:

civicrm/order CRM_Order_Page_Order Order access CiviCRM

5- at the moment my page redirects to CRM/Contact/Dashboard.tpl.

Please can you help, what settings I missed?

Thank You

Answer 1

It appears you are confused about the difference between a CiviCRM Extension and a WordPress Plugin.

I would recommend you to write a native CiviCRM extension and enable it from the civicrm/administer page (you might need to set up the extension directory path first).

If you generate an extension with civix, it will take care of reading the xml to handle the url of the page you created and all the stuff you'd need to support your custom tab

Answer 2

Have you done a clearcache (/civicrm/clearcache)?
