Add extra tab on "add new category" page

Post by GertK »

Hi

Is it possible to create another tab on the "Category: [ New ]" page so I can add more information to the category, like a box where I can write wether condition etc. Im aware that I need to add extra rows to the database under the ID for the category (_phocagallery_categories in the DB)

What I would like is this:

What files do I change / add the codes I need?

Hope some one can advice?

Hi, yes, all this is managed by Joomla, so you need to know how Joomla form fields work:

- the fields needs to be defined in XML
administrator/components/com_phocagallery/models/forms/phocagalleryc.xml
- then the view needs to be updated:
administrator/components/com_phocagallery/views/phocagallerycp/tmpl/default.php

and database structure for table category changed. :idea:

Hi, unfortunately, I didn't do such customization yet, so I don't have any exact advices for this. :-(
