Aleksander Lech	Wednesday 28 September 2005 2:18:22 am Hi, I made custom admin siteaccess and edit menu.ini.append.php to hide some tabs in top menu. Then - according to comments in menu.ini.append.php created new tab. Everything works - i mean tab is shown, link works correctly, but tab isn't active. and is recognized as part of 'ezcontentnavigationpart' not 'ezbwnavigationpart' which is the name I use in [NavigationPart] of ini file. Where else should I make modifications? TIA Aleksander

Aleksander Lech	Thursday 29 September 2005 11:45:23 pm Still no progress in my problem with custom tab in admin siteaccess. I found in eznavigationpart.php that: <i> Will return the navigation part array if the identifier is valid, the default will be returned if the identifier is not valid </i> But what is valid identifier? later in the same file: <i>The list is cached in the global variable eZNavigationPartList.</i> My custom identifier is in that variable, but doesn't work - tab has still 'inactive' style and variable $menu_item.navigationpart_identifier is set to 'ezcontentnavigationpart' which is default navigationpart identifier. What am I doing wrong? Aleksander
Bruce Morrison	Friday 30 September 2005 1:28:10 am In your module.php you need something like: $ViewList["edit"] = array( 'functions' => array( 'read','edit' ), "script" => "edit.php", 'unordered_params' => array(), "default_navigation_part" => 'ezbwnawnavigationpart' ); Of course the values in menu.ini need to reference 'ezbwnavigationpart' I'm pretty sure that the navigation parts can start with ez (thereis nothing in the code stoping this).
