Nice, thank you very much.

What's the difference? Can you give me an example of a time when I would choose one over the other?

Thank you so much for your help.

Well, I got the tab added! It was admin_page_output_nav_tabs_start.

Now on to the next part. I'll start a different thread if I have any other questions though.

I'd still like to know the answer to this though, just for posterity.

Thank you very much for steering me in the right direction.

So I guess it's not quite resolved. I just noticed that my tab shows up on all pages, not just the user module.

Is there a way to target that particular page/tab grouping?

I tried just switching to the admin_user_users_begin hook but get the following error regarding the $sub_tabs array

Quote:Warning [2] end() [function.end]: Passed variable is not an array or object -

So I take it the first hook is right but there must be a way to target just the user module.

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

I generally work off of a simple plugin like this:

https://github.com/lukaszklis/BoardMessages

Well, I got it by using this condition

if ($mybb->input['module'] == "user")

But the admin_user_users_begin hook seems the better choice, but I can't make it work yet. I'd still like to find the solution using that method if anyone can help.

Thanks for reading.

I'll check it out right now, thank you very much.

Yeah, that's a good one.

This

if ($run_module == 'user')

works just the same as the method I posted previously. I'm going to use this one.

Thanks for sharing.

Something's not right and I can't figure out what or how to fix it.

I've got the tab showing up. Here's where it might be confusing to follow so I'll try to be simple:
If I use a separate file located in modules, it will work and link the tab to the new page.
But if I use a function within my plugin to try to show the page it won't work (this is the method I would prefer to use as I feel a plugin should be self-contained. What is the common practice on this?).
I'm even using the plugin previously suggested by Paul H as a guide and everything seems fine to me, but it just links back to the admin home page.

Am I missing something? Why is this not working?

Here's my relevant code

/**
* Call Hooks
*/
// add the tab
$plugins->add_hook("admin_page_output_nav_tabs_start", 'adminimportusers_addtab');
// add the action of the tab
$plugins->add_hook("admin_user_action_handler", "adminimportusers_action");
// set permissions
$plugins->add_hook("admin_user_permissions", "adminimportusers_permissions");
// load the page
$plugins->add_hook('admin_load', 'adminimportusers_page');

// Add a tab to the Users & Groups module
function adminimportusers_addtab(&$sub_tabs) {
	global $mybb, $lang, $run_module;
	// see if the pugin has been enabled in config
	if ($mybb->settings['adminimportusers_enable'] == 1) {
		// make sure it only shows for the user module
		if ($run_module == 'user') {
			// now add our tab to the list
			$sub_tabs['adminimportusers'] = array(
				'id' => 'adminimportusers',
				'link' => 'index.php?module=user/adminimportusers',
				'description' => 'Import Users into your MyBB forum.',
				'title' => 'Import Users',
			);
			// pass 'em back
			return $sub_tabs;
		}
	}
} 

// Now make the link work by adding the action to the meta
function adminimportusers_action(&$actions) {
	$actions['adminimportusers'] = array('active' => 'adminimportusers', 'file' => 'adminimportusers');
	return $actions;
}

// Lets set some permissions
function adminimportusers_permissions(&$admin_permissions) {
	global $db, $mybb, $lang;
	$admin_permissions['adminimportusers'] = "Can Import Users?";
	return $admin_permissions;
}

// now, the bulk of the script
function adminimportusers_page() {
	global $db, $lang, $mybb, $page, $run_module, $action_file;
	
	// don't show this page unless asked and the plugin is enabled	
	if ($run_module == 'user' && $action_file == 'adminimportusers') {
		echo "Catching condition";
	}
}

Nevermind, Got it.

Figures; I try for an hour and as soon as I post it I get it.
