I am very new to Magento, just started Magento before 4 days but i am given the task to develop a Magento extension. So i am reading over the internet and creating it.

My Controller Code :
<?php
class Gwb_Magecrmsync_Adminhtml_MagecrmsyncController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
$this->loadLayout()
->_setActiveMenu('menu1')
->_addBreadcrumb(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Synchronize Data'), Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Synchronize Data'))
->_title($this->__('Synchronize Data'));
$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
'Mage_Core_Block_Template',
'my_block_name_here',
array('template' => 'magecrmsync/mainblock.phtml')
);
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('content')->append($block);
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
I want to add tabs on my page just like this :
Any help would be very much appreciated and will be helpful to me.
Thanks Ravinder
It seem like you are tying to create a 'left' and 'main' block within your admin controller.
$this->loadLayout();
$this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('form/adminhtml_form_edit'))
->_addLeft($this->getLayout()->createBlock('form/adminhtml_form_edit_tabs'));
$this->renderLayout();
class Excellence_Form_Block_Adminhtml_Form_Edit_Tabs extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tabs
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->setId('form_tabs');
$this->setDestElementId('edit_form'); // this should be same as the form id define above
$this->setTitle(Mage::helper('form')->__('Product Information'));
}
protected function _beforeToHtml()
{
$this->addTab('form_section', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('form')->__('Item Information'),
'title' => Mage::helper('form')->__('Item Information'),
'content' => $this->getLayout()->createBlock('form/adminhtml_form_edit_tab_form')->toHtml(),
));
return parent::_beforeToHtml();
}
}
See http://www.excellencemagentoblog.com/module-development-series-magento-admin-module-part3
$this->_addLeft($this->getLayout()
->createBlock('core/text')
->setText('<h1>Left Block</h1>'));
$block = $this->getLayout()
->createBlock('core/text')
->setText('<h1>Main Block</h1>');
$this->_addContent($block);

I read your question to fast in my previous answer, so I'll add this new one with the correct information. You will need to make a folder structure, in which the tabs are all separated in different files.
The following link explains how to add a tab to an existing module, you might want to search for a better article yourself, as there is enough information on this to be found: http://terrani.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/magento-add-a-new-tab-on-customer-edit-page/
