I've trying so hard to figure out on how to add a new menuitem to my MRP module, via a custom module I am developing


The idea of my module is to inherit MRP and add a new menuitem that has a Wizard and Generaters a PDF.


But can't even get inheritance to work, any ideas?

Can you post what you have tried? What do you mean "can't even get inheritance to work"? We can guess, but it is better if you share.

Hi,

To add a menu item under a menu is an easy task what you have to do is define and the new menu and add parent attribute, and give parent="mrp_menu_id" so that your new menu will be created under the MRP.

Along with the menu you have to define the action of the menu, ie what has to be take place upon clicking the menu, if it is not given the menu will not be visible .

<menuitem id="id_for_new_menu" parent="id_of_parent" name="String to display in menu"
action="action_on_clicking_menu/>

This is how you can define a new menu, other than this you can use attributes such as groups and sequence along with the above.

To get the parent id of a menu item, what you can do is activate developer mode and go to Settings -> Technical -> User Interface -> Menu Items -> Search the menu, open it , click on lady debugger button(button near logged in user name) and click on View Meta data, in the opening wizard, you can see the id of the menu, ie XML ID

...


Thanks
