[SOLVED] PHP Display plugin only to certain enities

Hi everyone.

I am coding a plugin that adds a new tab into glpi tickets page, we work with a lot of entities and I want to display this plugin to only tickets from certain entities.

How can I achieve it?

Inside my PluginClass I have the function getabNameForItem and displayTabContentForItem, my idea is to write them inside an if condition, and the value to check is the ticket's entity, but I cannot get this entity ID.

<?php

class PluginClass extends CommonGLPI
{

     /*Just to display if ticket's entity ID is equal to 1*/
     if( ticket_entity_id == 1 )
     {
         /**
         * This function is called from GLPI to allow the plugin to insert one or more item
         *  inside the left menu of a Itemtype.
         */
        function getTabNameForItem(CommonGLPI $item, $withtemplate=0)
       {
            return self::createTabEntry('Nuevo Tab para cargar informacion');
       }
 
        /**
        * This function is called from GLPI to render the form when the user click
        *  on the menu item generated from getTabNameForItem()
        */
        public static function displayTabContentForItem(CommonGLPI $item, $tabnum=1, $withtemplate=0)
        {
           ALL MY CODE
        }

    }

?>

Thank you

PHP doesn't support function definitions inside IF statements.
You need to do this check inside both tab functions.
If you want to hide the tab, you can return "false" in getTabNameForItem.

Thank you cconard96

Another question, How can I get the ticket's entity?

Greatings.

$item->getEntityID();

Thank you

I only have another question, Is there any documentation where can I read information about glpi object's methods?

For example, I did not know about the method getEntityID() for $item, so, it would be very useful to know more about them.

There is no comprehensive documentation pre-generated. Any proper IDE with support for PHP (including VSCode with the right extensions) would make method discovery 100x easier.
