I'm trying to add a custom tab in catalog, I'm following FishPig's tutorial.
So I want to achieve something like this
I have followed every instructions in the tutorial but still can't get it right.
I have disabled the catching and enabled debugging. I have checked the logs but I don't get any errors related this module.
My code
app/etc/modules/Fishpig_Customtabs.xml
<config>
<modules>
<Fishpig_Customtabs>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Fishpig_Customtabs>

</div>
I have checked the code twice still the tab does not appear, am I missing something? How do I check if I have made a mistake in my module?
To be sure I have also added the model code
app/code/local/Fishpig/Customtabs/Model/Observer.php
class Fishpig_Customtabs_Model_Observer
{
/**
* Flag to stop observer executing more than once
*
* @var static bool
*/
static protected $_singletonFlag = false;
/**
* This method will run when the product is saved from the Magento Admin
* Use this function to update the product model, process the
* data or anything you like
*
* @param Varien_Event_Observer $observer
*/
public function saveProductTabData(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
if (!self::$_singletonFlag) {
self::$_singletonFlag = true;
$product = $observer->getEvent()->getProduct();
try {
/**
* Perform any actions you want here
*
*/
$customFieldValue = $this->_getRequest()->getPost('custom_field');
/**
* Uncomment the line below to save the product
*
*/
//$product->save();
}
catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
}
}
}
/**
* Retrieve the product model
*
* @return Mage_Catalog_Model_Product $product
*/
public function getProduct()
{
return Mage::registry('product');
}
/**
* Shortcut to getRequest
*
*/
protected function _getRequest()
{
return Mage::app()->getRequest();
}
}
Still it does not work. I'm new to magento and I have no idea what has gone wrong. Can someone please point out my mistake or a sample code?
My full code can be found here and the archive can be found here.
In order to register the custom tab in the new product and the edit product
I changed my code to
app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/customtabs.xml
and added another block called
Edit.phpbesidesTab.php
