Custom "new tab" page

[knownasilya]

• [x] Write page on it's own route
  • [x] Link to module manager page
• [x] Register as a new_tab module
• [ ] Style new_tab page

Basically this is how we'll hook into Breach for now, see more discussion on #4.

Was thinking to write a new module for that - similar to chrome's app page. It allows for other modules to put a link to their page. Similar to the simple page you did on newtab.

I agree. Although I'm not sure how to get the url for a different module in breach. I think I saw something in core_ui.js about url_for_ui or something, but that might be for core modules only.

You can expose functionality in a module so that other modules can react upon it. Other module developers would have to use what ever convention (api) the module puts forward.

Would love to learn exactly how that works :smile_cat:

For now I can add the module front end on matthewjamesr/mod_newtab_clock, I have a module menu link that doesn't work yet but will open a modal for browser settings in future. Thoughts?

[knownasilya]

@matthewjamesr if you can provide us a hook to submit a name and url and possibly a section to reduce clutter of interface (to be placed on the settings page) that would be the best way. You are welcome to tackle this.

@knownasilya sounds good I will work on it over the next few days as able. Will let you know in irc progress :)
