I want to add a custom tab in catalog_product_edit page with my custom module. I want this tab of ajax type, since the tab holds grid content.
To achieve this I rewrite the Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Edit/Tabs.php block with my Mysite/Combooffers/Block/Adminhtml/Catalog/Product/Edit/Tabs.php block. It successfully rewrote the core block. My custom tab appeared in the edit page, but while click on the tab, it didnt work properly.
I have gone through the core files, and I found that, for ajax tabs, the action is defined in the controller Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/Catalog/ProductController.php. So I assumed the problem occurs due to my tabs action is not present in the core controller. So I planned to rewrite the above controller with myown Mysite/Combooffers/controllers/Adminhtml/Catalog/ProductController.php. When I rewrote the controller, edit page now shows nothing.
