Hi everyone,

for my site, I want to create a new tab in the account settings. The idea is, to have a seperate information bar, which informs a special kind of quota about any change in this tab. I have already created an new module for this, but at the moment the tab content remains empty.
So I thought to my self, all I need is the form designer to fill my new tab with content. Is there a way to implement the form designer in my new created module?

The Form Designer button is added automatically to any module form by including 'registration' code in the module's include.php 'init' function. For instance, take a look at the code below taken from the jrBlog module where it registers the Form Designer on its create and update forms -

function jrBlog_init(){
    // Allow admin to customize our forms
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'designer_form', 'jrBlog', 'create');
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'designer_form', 'jrBlog', 'update');

So you would need to change the 'jrBlog' parameter to the name of your module, and the 'create/update' to the name of your form.
