Civi Event - add new Tab to Event Configuration?
June 22, 2011, 05:31:07 am
Hi All

We've configured a CiviCRM / Drupal installation so that each CiviEvent generated has a correspoding Drupal Node with Image, in this way each CiviEvent has an associated image which Drupal can access. We are looking at a way of adding a link into the Civi Event management side to take a user to the corresponding Drupal node so they can add the event image. We would like to add this as a new Tab (see mock up image - http://www.gmcvo.org.uk/sites/gmcvo.org.uk/files/untitled.bmp). 

We've hunted through the Civi hook and API documentation, but it seems that you can only add tabs to Contacts.  We were wondering if there are any workarounds to this? The only other way that we can think of is to hack Civi core (The tabs seem to be built in civicrm/CRM/Event/Form/ManageEvent/TabHeader.php)

Yours
Oliver

Hi. Firstly, you don't need to create images in Drupal--you can make a custom field which is a field in CiviCRM for events and then use the API to get the details of that file.

But to answer your current question, you could add a tab to that page also using jQuery:

which may well be easier than hacking PHP files.

Oliver:

hershel's jQ option might be easier.

However, if you'll still need the "Tab" hook, ping us on IRC and we'll add that in. This has come up recently and it should not be too hard for us to add a hook to allow modules to create additional tabs

Was the "tab" hook ever built to work outside of contacts?

Thanks

No, but let us know if u'd like to extend this for other uses. If you can contribute a patch we can get it into the 4.2 release

Hi... Has an option to add tabs to event and / or profile pages been implemented yet? I would like to be able to create a 'profile create' form with three tabs. Thanks...
