Question

I am trying to create a simple module that add a button in the admin/config menu. I need the button to run a php script on click. So far I’ve browsed dozens tutorials, but I am not able even to see the enabled module in admin/config menu as an item (even though I have used code which should just redirect to node/1).

Here is the code I have used:

function send_reminders_menu() {

$items['admin/config/reminders'] = array(
    'title' => 'Reminders Control Panel',
    'page callback' => 'drupal_goto',
    'page arguments' => array('node/1'),
    'access arguments' => array('access reminders control panel'),
    'weight' => 50,
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
  );
  return $items;

Answer 1

Change MENU_LOCAL_TASK to MENU_NORMAL_ITEM.

MENU_LOCAL_TASK expects the one-level_up menu router item to be as a MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK but admin/config isn’t.
MENU_NORMAL_ITEM adds a normal menu item.

Lastly, don’t forget to clear caches when you’ve made changes.
Good luck!
