Create New Menu Tab In The Backoffice

Question

I have some issues adding a new tab in the backoffice menu. I successfully created it with this function (called inside install method of module class):

public function createMenuTab() {
    $tab = new Tab();
    $tab->module = $this->name;
    $tab->class_name = 'AdminQuote';
    $tab->id_parent = 0;
    $tab->active = 1;
    foreach (Language::getLanguages(false) as $l)
        $tab->name[$l['id_lang']] = 'Gestione Preventivi';
    return (bool)$tab->add();
}

But now I don't know how to show a view.

I put the class AdminQuoteController in /controllers/admin/AdminQuote.php and it just extends ModuleAdminController.

What should I do now to show a view? I didn't find anything in the PS docs!

Answer 1

Finally, I find this way:

I created the class AdminQuoteController in /controllers/admin/AdminQuote.php that extends ModuleAdminController. With this code inside:

class AdminQuoteController extends ModuleAdminController {
    public function renderList() {
        return $this->context->smarty->fetch(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'preventivi/views/templates/admin/content.tpl');
    }
}

This works even without declare display(), init(), initContent() or __construct() as I read in other previous threads.
