How to add new menu category in FreePBX

I was trying to add new menu category in FreePBX Version 13.

I tried all the possibilities.

  1. Referred the freePBX menu documentation at http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/FreePBX+Menu+Conf

  2. Created the category in module.xml like below:

<ucptab access="all" category="User Panel" href="/ucp" requires_auth="false" target="ucp">UCP</ucptab>

Where user Panel is the new category. FreePBX is not considering any other categories except Admin, Applications, Connectivity, Reports.

I have been trying to add modules to new category for the past 2 days but none of the standards worked for me. Need help in resolving this issue.

Solution

  • Not sure where you got <ucptab> from but this is how you would do it. Note that if this is the only item in the category, you won't get a dropdown, just a single button labeled "My Module"

    <category>My Category</category>
<menuitems>
    <mymodule>My Module</mymodule>
</menuitems>
