DESCRIPTION

A MenuTab module handles displaying an additional tab to authenticated users.

Methods that must be provided by a MenuTab module

rule

This method must return the text of a rule that decides whether or not the tab is displayed to a user.

Rules can be simple expressions such as $uid eq "dwho". If you want the tab to always be displayed, simply return a non-zero integer

use constant rule => 1;

name

This method must return a name for the plugin. This name is used for ordering the tab in the portalDisplayOrder variable. It is not displayed to the user.

display($req)

This method is called by the portal in order to display the tab. It takes the current request object as a parameters, and must return a hash with the following subkeys:

logo: name of a fontawesome icon for the tab
name: user-displayed name of the tab, which should be translated in lang.json files.
id: HTML element id for the tab, must be unique
html: HTML content of the tab

The display method can call helper functions such as loadTemplate to render a template

Ordering of portal tabs

You can use the portalDisplayOrder variable to change the order of portal tabs.

Use the name of your plugin in this list, or use the special _unknown keyword to specify an order for all plugin-managed tabs. If multiple modules are loaded, they will be displayed in the order they were loaded.

portalDisplayOrder = Appslist ChangePassword CustomMenuTab LoginHistory \
    OidcConsents _unknown Logout
