Example¶

function civitest_civicrm_tabs( &$tabs, $contactID ) {

    // unset the contribition tab, i.e. remove it from the page
    unset( $tabs[1] );

    // let's add a new "contribution" tab with a different name and put it last
    // this is just a demo, in the real world, you would create a url which would
    // return an html snippet etc.
    $url = CRM_Utils_System::url( 'civicrm/contact/view/contribution',
                                  "reset=1&snippet=1&force=1&cid=$contactID" );
    // $url should return in 4.4 and prior an HTML snippet e.g. '<div><p>....';
    // in 4.5 and higher this needs to be encoded in json. E.g. json_encode(array('content' => <html form snippet as previously provided>));
    // or CRM_Core_Page_AJAX::returnJsonResponse($content) where $content is the html code
    // in the first cases you need to echo the return and then exit, if you use CRM_Core_Page method you do not need to worry about this.
    $tabs[] = array( 'id'    => 'mySupercoolTab',
                     'url'   => $url,
                     'title' => 'Contribution Tab Renamed',
                     'weight' => 300 );
