How to create a dynamic tab in the common/menu bar?

Macro101

Discussion

I would like that when the user clicks on an item in the list to open the details screen, that new edit screen would appear and a new tab in the common/menu bar with its title. None of the training videos shows how to do that, but my customers really like it.

Anyone have been able to implement that?

Thanks

Not sure I understand what you mean... can you do a mock screenshot, or take an existing screenshot marked up so we can see what you mean?

Thanks!

Got it! If you want to do something like that, you have a couple of choices:

* You can pass the information for that tab into the Menu block as parameters, and use it in the Menu block.
* You can write the data to an Entity, and have the Menu block read the Entity and add the tab based on that.

I'd do the first if you only have 1 tab to add and it is simple information, the latter if you are trying to do something like build a bunch of sub-menus and stuff.

Makes sense.

I will try it out.

Thanks
