I'm currently writing a module and I want to make a stand alone admin menu item.

I wrote my hook_menu like this:


function foobar_menu() {
  $items['admin/foobar'] = array(
    'title' => 'Foobar Admin',
    'description' => 'Foobar related administration tasks',
    'page callback' => 'foobar_admin',
    'access callback' => 'user_access',
    'access arguments' => array('administer foobar'),
    'description' => 'View and administer all the foobar.',
    'file' => 'includes/admin.inc.php',
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
  );
  $items['admin/foobar/child'] = array(
    'title' => 'Foobar Child Task',
    'description' => 'Child administration task',
    'page callback' => 'mailnews_admin_child',
    'access callback' => 'user_access',
    'access arguments' => array('administer foobar'),
    'description' => 'View and administer all the foobar child.',
    'file' => 'includes/admin.inc.php',
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
  );

  return $items;
}

I expected the "Foobar Child Task" to appear, as a tab, on the "Foobar Admin" page, But the task didn't show up. Did I got anything wrong? Please help.

Thanks.

The tab page needs the same root path as the "main" page it relates to.

In this case, I expect admin/foobar would be the "main" page of admin/foobar/child. But that is not the result.

For the tabs to be rendered, you need a minimum of two tabs, and one of them has to be of type MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK. You only have one, and this is why your tab is not rendering. Add this:

  $items['admin/foobar/first'] = array(
    'title' => 'First Child',
    'description' => 'Child administration task',
    'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK,
  );
