Prestashop - add a custom menu item for my module under admin menu

My question is :

How can I add, by code, a custom menu item for my prestashop module under the orders menu (for example) in the pestashop backoffice ?

enter image description here

Solution

  • You can add a menu item on module install function.

    $currentid = Tab::getIdFromClassName('YOUR_ADMINCLASS');
if (!$currentid ) {
  $tab = new Tab();
  $tab->active = 1;
  $tab->class_name = "YOUR_ADMINCLASS";
  $tab->name = array();
  foreach (Language::getLanguages() as $lang){
    $tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = "DISPLAYNAME";
  }
  $tab->id_parent = $parentTabid;
  $tab->module = $this->name;
  $tab->add();
}

    To place as submenu or Orders, search for the $parentTabid:

    $sql = "SELECT `id_tab` FROM `"._DB_PREFIX_."tab` WHERE `class_name` LIKE 'AdminParentOrders'";
$parentTabid = Db::getInstance()->getValue($sql);
