If I use this code:

function mymod_civicrm_links($op, $objectName, $objectId ) {
  echo 'here';die;
  switch ($op) {
    case 'tabs.contact.activity':
      echo 'works';die;
  };
}
and I load civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=550 then I see just the word 'here' in my browser. If I remove that line and load the page again then it doesn't die. But I think it's supposed to. A bit of debugging shows that the values passed to that function are:

op = view.contact.activity
objectname = Contact
objectId = 550 

and it appears to only be called once. I am running CiviCRM 2.2.6 and Drupal 6.12 (haven't updated either to the very latest just yet--this is a dev site anyhow).

Am I missing something? This function is supposed to also be called with $op set to 'tabs.contact.activity,' no?

I am looking at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmlinks and it says there that the sample code "Adds a new tab." Running that sample code on my site indeed adds a link to the main View screen, but it doesn't add a tab. it didn't seem to add a link before either, but now running the exact sample code there does work.

I was using similar code in 2.0 to add a tab and I am now trying to upgrade that code to D6 and CiviCRM 2.2.

The code here http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmtabs does add a tab (if you remove the unset() line first of course) and is working just fine for me.

If that is the expected behavior, let me know and I can update the docs.
