Use project permissions and project roles instead!

sccrwoohoo:
I noticed when I tried this no matter what permission the user had, they could not see this tab at all. I even made the use the project leader without any success. Is there a way to set this so that if the user has permissions they would see the tab?




yes indeed... so it would be a lot easier to explain to clients or new contractors how we work on AC

All users on a project have view permission to everything. Even if you hide a tab, that content still appears on the dashboard, on the calendar, in linked modules, etc. See this post for details:

Most of the users of AC don't use all the the features of AC and it is very much required to keep the only required tabs to make it less confusing.

Every module (plugin) has a on_project_tabs handler located in /activecollab/application/modules/#MODULE_NAME#/handlers/on_project_tabs.php file. Here is how handler usually looks like:

function calendar_handle_on_project_tabs(&$tabs, &$project) {
  $tabs->add('calendar', array(
    'text' => lang('Calendar'),
    'url' => Calendar::getProjectCalendarUrl($project),
  ));
} // calendar_handle_on_project_tabs


If you wish to hide a certain type from your clients alter it too look like this:

function calendar_handle_on_project_tabs(&$tabs, &$project) {
  $user = get_logged_user();
  if(instance_of($user, 'User') && $user->isOwner()) {
    $tabs->add('calendar', array(
      'text' => lang('Calendar'),
      'url' => Calendar::getProjectCalendarUrl($project),
    ));
  } // if
} // calendar_handle_on_project_tabs


Notice that we are asking from the system to tell us who the logged in user is and if we have a logged in user and he is a member of owner company that we are adding a new tab.

Tabs are added by the following modules:

- Discussions - /discussions
- Milestones - /milestones
- Files - /files
- Checklists - /checklists
- Calendar - /calendar
- Pages - /pages
- Tickets - /tickets
- Time - /timetracking
