Hello Magento Friends,
In today’s blog, we will learn How to Add Custom Tab on Admin Dashboard in Magento 2.
Creating a custom tab on the admin dashboard in Magento 2 can be a useful way to display specific information or tools that are relevant to your business. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add a custom tab on the Magento 2 admin dashboard:
Steps to Add Custom Tab on Admin Dashboard in Magento 2:
Step 1: First, we need to create a “routes.xml” file inside the extension at the following path.
app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\adminhtml\
Then add the code as follows
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd"> <router id="admin"> <route id="vendor" frontName="vendor"> <module name="Vendor_Extension" before="Vendor_Extension" /> </route> </router> </config> |
Step 2: After that, we need to create the “Bestvendors.php” file inside the extension at the following path.
app\code\Vendor\Extension\Controller\Adminhtml\Dashboard
And add the below-mentioned code
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 |
<?php namespace Vendor\Extension\Controller\Adminhtml\Dashboard; use Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context; use Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory; use Magento\Backend\Controller\Adminhtml\Dashboard\AjaxBlock; use Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\RawFactory; use Magento\Framework\View\LayoutFactory; class Bestvendors extends AjaxBlock { protected $resultRawFactory; protected $layoutFactory; public function __construct( Context $context, RawFactory $resultRawFactory, LayoutFactory $layoutFactory, PageFactory $resultPageFactory ) { parent::__construct($context,$resultRawFactory,$layoutFactory); $this->_resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory; } public function execute() { $resultPage = $this->_resultPageFactory->create(); $resultPage->getConfig()->getTitle()->prepend(__('Add Custom Tab')); $block = $resultPage->getLayout() ->createBlock('Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template') ->setTemplate('Vendor_Extension::custom_file.phtml') ->toHtml(); $this->getResponse()->setBody($block); } } |
Step 3: After that, we need to create a “custom_file.phtml” file inside the extension at the following path.
app\code\Vendor\Extension\view\adminhtml\templates
Now, add the following piece of code
|
1 2 3 |
<div> <?php echo __("Hello");?> </div> |
Step 4: After that, we need to create a “di.xml” file inside the extension at the following path.
app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\adminhtml\
Now add the code as follows
|
1 2 3 4 |
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd"> <preference for="Magento\Backend\Block\Dashboard\Grids" type="Vendor\Extension\Block\Dashboard\Grids"/> </config> |
Step 5: After that, we need to create a “Grids.php” file inside the extension at the following path.
app\code\Vendor\Extension\Block\Dashboard\
And include the below code snippet
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
<?php namespace Vendor\Extension\Block\Dashboard; class Grids extends \Magento\Backend\Block\Dashboard\Grids { protected function _prepareLayout() { parent::_prepareLayout(); $this->addTab( 'best_vendors', [ 'label' => __('Best Vendors'), 'url' => $this->getUrl('vendor/dashboard/bestvendors', ['_current' => true]), 'class' => 'ajax', 'active' => false ] ); } } |
Step 6: Once all files are created in your Magento, you need to run Magento upgrade, compile and deploy commands as follows.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f php bin/magento setup:di:compile php bin/magento cache:clean php bin/magento cache:flush |
Output:
“Best Vendor” tab added in the Magento 2 Admin Dashboard.
