Creation of Admin Menu Plugin

Hi,

I am trying extend the current admin menu. In order to extend it trying to use the iadminmenu plugin.

I have seen some of the other topics discussed for it but was not able to proceed with those examples. Can someone please share the plug in sample for extension of iadminmenu?

It will help if you can share the .cs, model, view, and controller. Also any other files/changes required.

https://www.nopcommerce.com/docs/77/how-to-write-a-nopcommerce-plugin.aspx

Note: Implement IAdminMenuPlugin in your plugin class.

Thanks, Is there a sample admin menu plugin files that you can share?

How do I?
- Create multiple menu items?
- Create multiple menu tabs? (like customers, promotions...)
- Can I rename the tab from "Plugins" to something else? How?

any response?

I haven't tried your 3 questions above, but here is here is a sample way to implement the admin menu with one link:

public class FooClass : BasePlugin, IAdminMenuPlugin
    {
        #region configuration
        public FooClass()
        {
        }

        public override void Install()
        {
            base.Install();
        }

        public override void Uninstall()
        {
            base.Uninstall();
        }
        #endregion

        // Implement an admin link
        public void BuildMenuItem(MenuItemBuilder menuItemBuilder)
        {
            menuItemBuilder.Text("Display Name").Url("url path or absolute link").ImageUrl("link to the icon next to menu item");
        }
    }

Thanks again for the response. I was able to get here but was not abke to do the three things I asked. Any help there? Its extremely exciting to see such nice responses. Waiting for response on 3 queries

seems this no longer works in nop v3.40

public interface IAdminMenuPlugin : IPlugin
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Authenticate a user (can he see this plugin menu item?)
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns></returns>
        bool Authenticate();

        /// <summary>
        /// Build menu item
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>Site map item</returns>
        SiteMapNode BuildMenuItem();
    }

does anyone happen to have some nop v3.40 sample code?

The implementation described in the documentation and this thread looks to be for version 3.3 and earlier (see here).
Looking for a 3.4 version.

Disregard my comment above. I forgot to include IAdminMenuPlugin for the class.
