how to add a tab to the patient dashboard

[awanth sen]

Hi,

I want to add a tab to the patient dashboard from my module.

I have followed this answer: https://answers.openmrs.org/questions/373/how-can-i-add-a-tab-in-the-patient-dashboard

and added an extension html class with :
        @Override
        public String getPortletUrl() {
            return "dashboardtabforid";
        }
      
        @Override
        public String getTabId() {
            return "dashboardtabforid";
        }

and added the extension point to the config file like this

<extension> <point>org.openmrs.patientDashboardTab</point> <class>@MODULE_PACKAGE@.extension.html.DashboardTabForID</class> </extension>

then i have created the controller with

@Controller
@RequestMapping("**/dashboardtabforid.portlet")
public class DashboardTabForIDController  {

but i dont get a tab appearing in the patient dashboard, what am I doing wrong here?

thanks
Awanthika

Does your extension class subclass PatientDashboardTabExt?

Also, awanth, if you see that the answer is missing something please add it on the wiki. Thanks.

As explained here https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Module+Extension+Points

It would be great if the extension engine shows a warning if something
is not correct (instead of failing silently).

Hi Kayiwa

Im sorry that i dont get you clearly here. my class extends dashboardext as follows,

public class DashboardTabForID  extends PatientDashboardTabExt { }

If you look at your tomcat log, you will see something like this:

WARN - Module.expandExtensionNames(534) |2013-11-29 15:57:47,070| Unable to load class for extension: org.openmrs.patientDashboardTab
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: @MODULE_PACKAGE@.extension.html.DashboardTabForID
    at

So, in your config.xml, replace: @MODULE_PACKAGE@

with: ${project.parent.groupId}.${project.parent.artifactId}
