Within a plugin I need to add and populate (data is available inside my plugin) a column to com_menus&view=menus view in administration.
[![enter image description here][1]][1]
my_plugin.php
...
public function onAfterInitialise()
{
$input = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
if (JFactory::getApplication()->isAdmin()
&& $input->getCmd('option') == 'com_menus'
&& $input->getCmd('view') == 'menus')
{
JRequest::setVar('view', 'menusextra');
JLoader::register('MenusViewMenusextra', __DIR__ . '/views/menus/view.html.php');
}
}
...
view.html.php
...
JLoader::register('MenusViewMenus', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_menus/views/menus/view.html.php');
JLoader::register('MenusModelMenus', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_menus/models/menus.php');
class MenusViewMenusextra extends MenusViewMenus
{
public function display($tpl = null)
{
$this->items = $this->get('Items');
$this->pagination = $this->get('Pagination');
$this->state = $this->get('State');
$this->filterForm = $this->get('FilterForm');
$this->activeFilters = $this->get('ActiveFilters');
$this->canDo = JHelperContent::getActions('com_menus');
$this->db = JFactory::getDbo();
$this->addTemplatePath(__DIR__ . '/tmpl/');
parent::display($tpl);
}
}
class MenusModelMenusextra extends MenusModelMenus {}
...
Now, I am getting the error "JForm::getInstance could not load file". Think this is due because it is not being able to load the filter_menusextra.xml, the original (core) filter_menus.xml that is located \administrator\components\com_menus\models\forms. Is it because it uses the JLayout search tools and need to load the xml file?
Made the following test: renamed filter_menus.xml to filter_menusextra.xml in \administrator\components\com_menus\models\forms and it worked. But as I am overriding it I should be able to make it inside my plugin, not the core one?! What am I doing wrong?
Could someone help me please on this? Thank you. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/a0WDz.png
