根据用户登录，在Drupal模块中更改选项卡名称。

Question

Working on Intranet built on Drupal where I got a module with couple of tabs.

There are two types of users, admin and non-admins. I like to change the name of the tab depending on who is viewing it.

Currently this is what I got:

function lessons_learned_menu(){
...
  $items['lessons-learned/projects/viewAll'] = array(
    'title' => 'View All Projects - LL',
    'description' => 'Review page that lists projects that are currently open.',
    'page callback' => 'pmo_lessons_learned_projects_viewAll',
    'access arguments' => array('Access pmo_lessons_learned'),
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK
  );
...

The access argument 'Access pmo_lessons_learned', everyone has (including Admins) and 'Administrator pmo_lessons_learned' only Admins have.

Something that didn't work:

if(!user_access("Administer pmo_lessons_learned")){    
   $items['lessons-learned/projects/viewAll'] = array(
     'title' => 'View All Projects - LL',
     'description' => 'Review page that lists projects that are currently open.',
     'page callback' => 'pmo_lessons_learned_projects_viewAll',
     'access arguments' => array('Access pmo_lessons_learned'),
     'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK
   );
}
else
{
    $items['lessons-learned/projects/viewAll'] = array(
      'title' => 'Review Projects',
      ...
}

When I tried to debug it, I always got the user as Admin (when it was non-Admin), therefore went to the else condition every time.

So I like to change the name of the tab if the user is not Admin and vice versa.

The hook_menu is invoked once to build and cache the menu items and is not supposed to run again until the cache is cleared. This hook is invoked by Drupal user 1 (admin), this explains why user_access("Administer pmo_lessons_learned") returns true .

However you can use the 'title callback' config in the menu items definition to generate the title with a function.
