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