Thanks Alexander,
This works:
api.addMainTab('oVirtTab', 'ovirt-tab', ‘http://www.something.com',
{priority: 5});
Can you advise how to get the api.addSubTab to work?
api.addSubTab('ovirt-tab', 'Test 123', 'test-123', '#’);
I tried the above and many other combinations, no errors, just doesnt work.
Maybe I am wrong on what it does?
I am looking to add a submenu – same as the current 4.2.1 UI shows Network
and then(Vnic Profiles) (Networks) as submenus.
Thanks
Zip
So api.addSubTab works on adding a 'detail' tab, aka when you click on lets
say the VMs name, and go to the detail view, addSubTab will add another tab in
there.
What you want to do, is currently NOT possible. I have a TODO in my long list
of items to add that capability to the UI plugin API. When the API was
designed the secondary menus like Networks didn't exist, it was all main tabs
or sub tabs. The primary and secondary menus are just a way to organize the
main views instead of having a giant list of menu items. For now I would just
put it in a primary menu until I get a chance to update the api to allow for
you to add it to a secondary menu.
