<p>Jdd2405: </p> <hr /> <div>How to write a plugin that adds a menu to the admin menubar &amp; when clicked renders some content <br /> <br /> 1. Create a new plugin. let us call it Rewards<br /> <br /> 2. register for events afterAdminMenuLoad and newDirectRequest in the constructor<br /> <br /> 3. implement the above methods methods in the new plugin class<br /> <br /> 4. In the method afterAdminMenuLoad, add a new menu item and link it to <br /> admin/plugins/direct?plugin=&lt;plugin_name&gt;&amp;function=&lt;plugin_action&gt;<br /> e.g<br /> admin/plugins/direct?plugin=rewards&amp;function=assignRewards<br /> The best way to to this would be to make use of the createURL method:<br /> 'href' =&gt; $this-&gt;api-&gt;createUrl('plugins/direct', array('plugin' =&gt; 'Rewards', 'function' =&gt; 'assignRewards')),<br /> <br /> 5. implement the method newDirectRequest <br /> <br /> public function newDirectRequest(){<br /> $event = $this-&gt;event;<br /> <br /> // you can get other params from the request object<br /> $request = $event-&gt;get('request');<br /> <br /> //get the function name to call and use the method call_user_func<br /> $functionToCall = $event-&gt;get('function'); <br /> $content = call_user_func(array($this,$functionToCall)); <br /> //set the content on the event <br /> $event-&gt;setContent($this, $content); <br /> }<br /> <br /> <br /> 6. implement the method plugin_action, in our case it is assignRewards(). <br /> In this method currently i am just trying to return some dummy content, you can have sophisticated page rendered. <br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;public function assignRewards() {<br /> $content = &quot;&lt;h1&gt; plugin content set succesfully &lt;/h1&gt;&quot;;<br /> return $content; <br /> }&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> 7.
