Talk:Add new menu and view by a plugin
From LimeSurvey Manual
Why isn't newDirectRequest implemented in the base class? Seems like a generic class that mostly is not needed to override.

Add new content in side-body in LimeSurvey 2.5
A plugin can add content into the side-body div in the LimeSurvey 2.5 admin interface by calling the PluginHelper controller. As in the section above, you will need to add a new menu with an acnhor to the controller, which will in turn call your plugin action. The return value of the plugin action will be rendered in the side-body. Below is an example of a plugin that will add a menu item into the tools menu:
public function beforeToolsMenuRender()
{
$event = $this->getEvent();
$surveyId = $event->get('surveyId');
$href = Yii::app()->createUrl(
'admin/pluginhelper', // Call the plugin helper controller
array(
'sa' => 'sidebody', // subaction is "sidebody"
'plugin' => 'MyPlugin', // Name of this plugin
'method' => 'actionIndex', // Plugin action that PluginHelper will call
'surveyId' => $surveyId
)
);
// TODO: Class ExtraMenuItem is not part of core yet
$menuItem = new ExtraMenuItem(array(
'label' => 'Label of the menu',
'iconClass' => 'fa fa-table',
'href' => $href
));
$event->set('menuItems', array($menuItem));
}
public function actionIndex()
{
// TODO: Add view and layout
return "This is the content of the side-body";
}
