Author Topic: Adding a menu entry to the Administer menu (Read 2173 times)

Hi guys,

I've read the tutorial on adding an extension to the menu by filling out the civicrm_civicrm_navigationMenu function.

My question is, how can I add a menu (and hopefully a submenu) to the "Administer" option.

I did a print_r() and go the number 90.

That feels like a hack! Would it even survive a clear cache? Please can you tell me how to add sub menu to an already existing menu in a neater way?

Thanks,

I haven't looked at that hook in a while, but... if the extension is generated by civix, then there's an undocumented helper function called:

_MYEXT_civix_insert_navigation_menu

For example, in the extension org.civicrm.hrjob, the helper is:

https://github.com/civicrm/civihr/blob/master/hrjob/hrjob.civix.php#L178

I believe that $menu is the same data structure provided by the hook. I'm not entirely sure what $path is supposed to be. The $parentId supposed to be optional -- ie you specify the $path, and then it searches for a matching entry. You can probably read/experiment with it a little. Or, if nganivet notices this post, then maybe he can comment (b/c he wrote the helper).
