Trying to add a custom tab in My Account section

I am trying to add a custom tab in My Account customer area:

I end up in /common_files/customer/main/top_links.tpl

I hardcoded:

Code:

  <li class="ui-state-default ui-corner-top">

      <a href="my_page.php" class="ui-tabs-anchor">Downloads</a>

  </li>

But it is not working as intended.

I am trying to figure out how this bit works:

Code:

from=$tabs item=tab key=ind

, or to be precise, where does $tabs gets created?

I was looking for clues in content.tpl, home.tpl but so far no luck. If only I could find a php page responsible for it, I think I will be on the right track, unless it is more complicated than that.

Does anyone have and advice how to approach it? I am just starting with this smarty thing but have a good background in PHP.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Trying to add a custom tab in My Account section

Back in the day we used this to add Wish List before it was included:

In include/account_tabs.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
$account_tabs[] = array(

    'title' => func_get_langvar_by_name('lbl_wish_list'),

    'url'   => 'cart.php?mode=wishlist'

);

Modify include/account_tabs.php and add the tab info you need following the pattern there.

The php script assigns $account_tabs to smarty and this is passed on the top_links.tpl as $tabs

Re: Trying to add a custom tab in My Account section

For some reason account_tabs.php is nowhere to be found in my xcart directory. I even downloaded fresh copy of xcart but couldn't find it there either...

I am on latest 4.7.6 if it helps.

Edit:

Found $account_tabs, they moved it to XCAccountTabs class in include/func/func.core.php

Thank you for help!

Re: Trying to add a custom tab in My Account section

Unfortunately, this was moved to include/func/func.core.php class XCAccountTabs. You'll see similar tab assignments there.

Rather than editing the core, a slightly less invasive way is to edit postauth.php by finding this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
XCAccountTabs::getInstance()->addDefaults()->assignToSmarty();

And add something like this after:

PHP Code:


		
			
$myNewTab = array( 

    'title' => 'lbl_downloads',

    'url'   => 'my_page.php'

);

$myAccountTabs = XCAccountTabs::getInstance()->addDefaults();

$myAccountTabs->push($myNewTab);

$myAccountTabs->assignToSmarty();

This expects a language variable (ex: lbl_downloads).
