MENU_LOCAL_TASK Problem

Question

Hi,

I am trying to add a tab to my menu in drupal and use this function, to test it:

function my_module_menu() {
  $items['user/%user/classifieds'] = array(
    'title' => 'Action',
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
    'page callback' => 'my_module_page',
    'page arguments' => array(1),
    'weight' => 2,
  );
  return $items;
}

But nothing shows up. Why?

Answer 1

You need an access callback, or at the very least, access arguments (access callback defaults to user_access() if not defined):

function my_module_menu() {
  $items['user/%user/classifieds'] = array(
    'title' => 'Action',
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
    'page callback' => 'my_module_page',
    'page arguments' => array(1),
    'access arguments' => array('access content'),
    'weight' => 2,
  );
  return $items;
}

Also make sure to rebuild the menu or clear the cache when making changes to hook_menu().
