Hi all,

Code:

I am sorry I am not really understanding your question, are you wanting to create a new tab at the top of your GetSimple
Administration page or to the right of your GetSimple Administration page?

[michelino]

At the top.

Ex.

default tabs: Edit, File, Theme, Backups, Plugins ...


Now i want write a custom plugin for edit an external xml file, like "Page Editing Mode"
so it becomes: Edit, File, Theme, Backups, Plugins, Edit Xml


This is the mockup:

I am not sure what the best way to do this would be, however I do know it has been done by JullianCC. I will explain how she does it.

You will need to add the following code after you have registered your plugin:

Code:

if (file_exists(GSPLUGINPATH.'squareit-loadtab.php'))
{
    //hooks using tab loader
    add_action($thisfile.'-sidebar','sqr_createSideMenu',array($thisfile, $thisfile,'SIDE BAR TAB'));
    add_action($thisfile.'-sidebar','sqr_createSideMenu',array($thisfile,'squareit_admin_add_new_poll','SIDE BAR TAB'));
    add_action('nav-tab','sqr_createNavTab',array($thisfile,'TAB NAME'));
}
else
{
        //hooks not using tab loader
    add_action('plugins-sidebar','createSideMenu',array($thisfile,'TAB NAME'));
}

You will also need to add the attached plugin to plugins/

Let me know if how this works for you!
