I'm trying to find a way to add another tab to the tabbed menu under each user's username on the user/* page.

I want to have View, Edit, and an additional link. I'm not sure where I need to be looking in the code to edit this menu and I can't find any documentation thus far. Any help would be great.

Thanks

I believe you can implement hook_menu in a custom module and use MENU_LOCAL_TASK as the type, and the path needs to start with user/

function HOOK_menu() {
  $items['user/mypage'] = array(
    'title' => t('My Tab'),
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
    //'page callback' => 'mymodule_mypage', //mymodule_mypage should be a function that returns HTML for the content area
    //'page arguments' => array(0, 1, 2), // 0 is arg(0), 1 is arg(1) etc...
  );
  return $items;
}

For all the array elements see this page

  • where would this code go? – Mike May 15 '12 at 8:31
  • This code goes in a custom module. Check this page for a guide on how to write custom modules. In this case however you'll need the most basic module, you need only 2 files a .info and a .module file. The .module file will contain the above code, but the HOOK_ needs to be replaced by the module's name. For example: If mycustommodule was your custom module name the function name would be mycustommodule_menu() – Beebee May 15 '12 at 10:12
  • When you say "//mymodule_mypage should be a function that returns HTML for the content area" what do you mean? – Mike May 15 '12 at 18:13
  • Any function name that you put in page callback will be called when the path user/mypage is requested. You can create a new function which returns markup, or use a drupal function such as drupal_get_form etc. – Beebee May 16 '12 at 8:15
