I'm trying to add a custom tab in catalog, I'm following FishPig's tutorial.
So I want to achieve something like this
I have followed every instructions in the tutorial but still can't get it right.
I have disabled the catching and enabled debugging. I have checked the logs but I don't get any errors related this module.
My code
app/etc/modules/Fishpig_Customtabs.xml
<config>
<modules>
<Fishpig_Customtabs>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Fishpig_Customtabs>

</div>
I have checked the code twice still the tab does not appear, am I missing something? How do I check if I have made a mistake in my module?
To be sure I have also added the model code
app/code/local/Fishpig/Customtabs/Model/Observer.php
class Fishpig_Customtabs_Model_Observer
{
/**
* Flag to stop observer executing more than once
*
* @var static bool
*/
static protected $_singletonFlag = false;
/**
* This method will run when the product is saved from the Magento Admin
* Use this function to update the product model, process the
* data or anything you like
*
* @param Varien_Event_Observer $observer
*/
public function saveProductTabData(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
if (!self::$_singletonFlag) {
self::$_singletonFlag = true;
$product = $observer->getEvent()->getProduct();
try {
/**
* Perform any actions you want here
*
*/
$customFieldValue = $this->_getRequest()->getPost('custom_field');
/**
* Uncomment the line below to save the product
*
*/
//$product->save();
}
catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
}
}
}
/**
* Retrieve the product model
*
* @return Mage_Catalog_Model_Product $product
*/
public function getProduct()
{
return Mage::registry('product');
}
/**
* Shortcut to getRequest
*
*/
protected function _getRequest()
{
return Mage::app()->getRequest();
}
}
Still it does not work. I'm new to magento and I have no idea what has gone wrong. Can someone please point out my mistake or a sample code?
My full code can be found here and the archive can be found here.
