EE Undocs [Episode One]: String_Override

_If you're an ExpressionEngine add-on developer, especially a new one, this section is for you. I've had to spend a lot of timing coming through piles of various classes and core files looking for the right way, or sometimes *any* way to do something._ ## Where this SHOULD be found: [EE Docs: Module Development](http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/development/module_tutorial.html#publish_tabs) Module tabs are woefully undocumented. Here's a little trick to pwn the creation of custom tab fields and fieldtypes: $settings[] = array( .... all the normal stuff .... 'string_override' => $override_magic ); This lets you bypass everything write out your own custom field goodness however you like. For example: $override_magic = ''; Or something infinitely more complex. Go nuts. ## As Seen In - Comments: /system/expressionengine/controllers/cp/content_publish.php: line 1890 - Versioning: /system/expressionengine/controllers/cp/content_publish.php: line 2036
