hook_menu_local_tasks_alter

Alter tabs and actions displayed on the page before they are rendered.

Each tab or action is an associative array containing:

• #theme: The theme function to use to render.
• #link: An associative array containing:
  • title: The localized title of the link.
  • href: The system path to link to.
  • localized_options: An array of options to pass to url().
• #active: Whether the link should be marked as 'active'.

Parameters

$data: An associative array containing:

• actions: An associative array containing:
  • count: The amount of actions determined by the menu system, which can be ignored.
  • output: A list of of actions, each one being an associative array as described above.
• tabs: An indexed array (list) of tab levels (up to 2 levels), each containing an associative array:
  • count: The amount of tabs determined by the menu system. This value does not need to be altered if there is more than one tab.
  • output: A list of of tabs, each one being an associative array as described above.

$root_path: The path to the root item for this set of tabs.
