I am using the hook "civicrm_tabs" to add a new tab to all contact records. This is functioning fine in version 4.4.3. However there is a wierd UI issue: my custom tab appears to be inactive ( ie it has the same appearance as the built in tab for "Events" when the "Events" tab has 0 records)

If the user clicks on the custom tab, it does work as expected.  The different appearance of tabs with 0 records as compared to tabs with 1+ records seems to be a new feature of version 4.4.x.   Is there something new I have to do in my hook so that the tab appears active?


function civitest_civicrm_tabs( &$tabs, $contactID ) {
 
    $url = CRM_Utils_System::url( 'civicrm/contact/view/contribution',
                                  "reset=1&snippet=1&force=1&cid=$contactID" );
    $tabs[] = array( 'id'    => 'mySupercoolTab',
                     'url'   => $url,
                     'title' => 'Something Cool',
                     'weight' => 300 );
}

Your suggestion of adding a 'count' parm did the trick!  I got my tab working the way I want now.    I noticed I can pass a string as the count parm, so I am passing a monetary amount,  ie $1,250.00
