Add Links Without Modifying Blesta Code

See the attached image, i would like to add two or more links to the right side of Documents link in the top . How we can do that without modifying blesta code. That is  how we can do using module or plugin?

Create a plugin. Your plugin should define a getActions method as shown in the example here, which will set a link in the client primary navigation that will link to a page you create in your plugin.

 

If you want two primary navigation links, you would need to create two plugins at the moment, as plugins, currently, can only register one unique action. This will change when CORE-1697 is completed.

you can do that , without any probleme . just add the content you want to show , blesta handle the header and the footer .

That one is the obstacle , you need some expertise code to achieve this, and i was thinking to add feature request to blesta , that allow us to send content to the right side and keep ledt side handled by blesta .

like the client_main controller . something in the view we set like

 

$this->Widget->ShowSideBar(true);

that way we can display the client info tab with the main content we want .

Some client pages don't have sidebars while others do. What 'left sidebar' are you wanting to display again? Your plugin should recreate this sidebar apart of its output.

Activa is right .

 

let say i have plugin X , when i access it page it show a full page not a left side and right side for content .

 

normally we need to use the same logic used in some part like admin_clients.php . this controller by default has left and right side .

 

what really i suggest is to make client info left side a global methode that wa can call it and include it in our plugins . there are no option to show client info and our plugins content without writing and coding the left side .

 

what i prefer really is a option to use a full page or divded page between client_info and content , and that should be in native code .

Adding a section to the right, beside the client info sidebar, is already possible through the use of widgets.

You can create the client info sidebar as a partial template (client_main_myinfo.pdt for client interface, and admin_clients_view.pdt for admin) in your plugin's controller by passing it all the data it will use and then make it available to your plugin's template for output.

this is what i doing now , but i prefer to not send all the data every time i want to use this method .

but is not a big probleme . the big probleme related to this thread is the limitation links can plugin add
