Hi,
I made custom admin siteaccess and edit menu.ini.append.php to hide some tabs in top menu.
Then - according to comments in menu.ini.append.php created new tab. Everything works - i mean tab is shown, link works correctly, but tab isn't active.
and is recognized as part of 'ezcontentnavigationpart' not 'ezbwnavigationpart' which is the name I use in [NavigationPart] of ini file.

Where else should I make modifications?

TIA
Aleksander

I found that navigationpart_identifiers starting with 'ez' are reserved for ez Publish, but changing the name to 'bwnaw' made no change

Still no progress in my problem with custom tab in admin siteaccess.

I found in eznavigationpart.php that:
<i>
Will return the navigation part array if the identifier is valid, the default will be returned if the identifier is not valid
</i>

But what is valid identifier?

later in the same file:
<i>The list is cached in the global variable eZNavigationPartList.</i>

My custom identifier is in that variable, but doesn't work - tab has still 'inactive' style and variable $menu_item.navigationpart_identifier is set to 'ezcontentnavigationpart' which is default navigationpart identifier.

What am I doing wrong?

In your module.php you need something like:

$ViewList["edit"] = array(
    'functions' => array( 'read','edit' ),
    "script" => "edit.php",
    'unordered_params' => array(),
    "default_navigation_part" => 'ezbwnawnavigationpart'
);

Of course the values in menu.ini need to reference 'ezbwnavigationpart'

I'm pretty sure that the navigation parts can start with ez (thereis nothing in the code stoping this).

HTH
