Regex to add
tag using OCMOD

Question

I want to add a menu in opencart admin page using OCMOD. I want to modify the menu in menu.tpl file but I think it requires regex as the <li> must be the last before </ul> tag. Can somebody help? The <ul> tag is like this:

    <ul>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $location; ?>"><?php echo $text_location; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $language; ?>"><?php echo $text_language; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $currency; ?>"><?php echo $text_currency; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $stock_status; ?>"><?php echo $text_stock_status; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $order_status; ?>"><?php echo $text_order_status; ?></a></li>
      <li><a class="parent"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $return_status; ?>"><?php echo $text_return_status; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $return_action; ?>"><?php echo $text_return_action; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $return_reason; ?>"><?php echo $text_return_reason; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $country; ?>"><?php echo $text_country; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $zone; ?>"><?php echo $text_zone; ?></a></li>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $geo_zone; ?>"><?php echo $text_geo_zone; ?></a></li>
      <li><a class="parent"><?php echo $text_tax; ?></a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $tax_class; ?>"><?php echo $text_tax_class; ?></a></li>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $tax_rate; ?>"><?php echo $text_tax_rate; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>

I know it is posible to add my menu after

<li><a href="<?php echo $geo_zone; ?>"><?php echo $text_geo_zone; ?></a></li>

Using this operation

<file path="admin/view/template/common/menu.tpl">
    <operation>
        <search>
            <![CDATA[
            <li><a href="<?php echo $geo_zone; ?>"><?php echo $text_geo_zone; ?></a></li>
            ]]>
        </search>                       
        <add position="after">
            <![CDATA[
            <li><a href="<?php echo $my_menu; ?>"><?php echo $text_my_menu; ?></a></li>
             ]]>
        </add>
    </operation>
</file>

But I want to add my menu to the last of the list (after <li> that contains <ul>). I think it should use regex to make this works. Please somebody help, thank you.

You're not going to be able to do this via regex. However if you know the occurrence you can use index (or can in vqmod anyway) and just use `` in the search with `index="3"` and use `position="before"` — Jay Gilford, Feb 22 '15 at 11:59
Yes, your comment answered my question actually. Thank you for your help. I don't really understand regex anyway, so I thought my problem was related with regex. — Muhammad Kholid B, Feb 22 '15 at 13:06

The best way to do this is to use just a standard search and specify the </ul> you want to using the index in your <add> tag specifying which of them is the right one to place the content before/after. Remember that other extensions can do the same and add sub-menus that will alter the index. Regex isn't a viable option for this.

So the operation for your question should be like this:

<file path="admin/view/template/common/menu.tpl">
<operation>
    <search index="2">
        <![CDATA[
        </ul>
        ]]>
    </search>                       
    <add position="before">
        <![CDATA[
        <li><a href="<?php echo $my_menu; ?>"><?php echo $text_my_menu; ?></a></li>
         ]]>
    </add>
</operation>

The index starts from 0, we add new list before the last </ul> which is in index 2.
