Creating a Custom Tab for Contact
March 22, 2015, 10:24:22 am
Hi,
My implementation requires me to add a tab to the contact view. It should allow the user to add several relationships to the contact in a single click of a button, without the need to select the type of relationship etc, as in the Relationships tab.
I managed to add my tab using the doc of hook_civicrm_tabs.
What I didn't figure out is which url to give it in order to fetch my custom template. In fact I didn't understand the url method, for example the Activities tab links to .../civicrm/contact/view/activity?reset=1&cid=XYZ. Which code takes this url and understands that the Activities page should be fetched?

many thanks.

Roi

Hey roik. In order to do this, your extension needs to create a page, or a form (whichever seems more appropriate) and register it at some url of your choosing. Hopefully you used civix to start your extension - in that case there is a 1 line civix comand to create the skelital page/form.

Nilda I already replied to you on StackExchange. I need more information about what you're trying to do. See http://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/446/civicrm-new-tab-content

I feel like i just answered a similar question here - with a potential solution using multiple record fields in case it is of interest. I will check on SE and perhaps repeat my suggestion there
