Own extension and want an own group and 'sub' entities in the tabList

[Ednt]

Hi,

I create an own extension with many entities.
I want to 'bundle' the entries in the navbar with an own group and the entities inside of the group.
In the AfterInstall script I found only a way to add the entities, but not below an own goup.
And then I need also AfterUninstall to remove them.

Isn't there a json file possibility to do this?

Or how can I do it in general?

Best regards.

I suggest the following approach.

Add a group tab under the Administration > User Interface. Check data/config.php -> tabList. Then, replicate it in the AfterInstall script. Use Config and ConfigWriter to read and wring config parameters.

We did it just now, but ...
All (objects) in the tabList have an id. How can we generate a valid id for the new group?

Just a random string.

$id = (string) rand(100000, 999999);
