Mura CMS: Example of how to use the 'Custom UI' container/tab assignment option when creating a class extension.
<!---
A brief example on how to use the 'CustomUI' option when creating a class extension in Mura CMS.
This example assumes you have an extended attribute called 'Page/Book'.
It also assumes you have an attribute set using the 'CustomUI' container/tab assignment.
Any extended attributes you assign to the attribute set, you are responsible for collecting
that data using your own form fields. Make sure the 'name' and 'id' attributes match the
names you've used when you created the extended attributes! For example, if you have an
extended attribute with a name of 'bookPublisher', make sure you have a form field with an
'id' and 'name' attribute of 'bookPublisher'. Check your casing too!
The name of the method to create a custom tab when editing content follows
the syntax of on{Type}{Subtype}Edit()
You could drop this into your Theme eventHandler.cfc, or a plugin's eventHandler.cfc
Remember to reload Mura anytime you make a change to this method!
Please Note: This will NOT work if you place it in the Site eventHandler.cfc

<!---
This is how to set the name of the Tab Label for your Custom UI.
If this is used from within a plugin, it will used the plugin name be default.
If not used from within a plugin (i.e., in the Theme eventHandler.cfc) and
you don't define the tabLabel, it will display as 'undefined'

Hi,

I've created an event to add a new tab to the user admin screen, the newly created tab is appearing and the content is also appearing. However, the newly create tab label is appearing as "undefined".

I don't have any Class Extensions, all I want to do is display some text to the screen.

Am I missing something? Should this work?

This line seems to overwrite my label and reset the tab name to "undefined"
