# Falkon Python Tutorial - 4. Adding entry to the extension menu
|
|
|
|
To add an entry to extension menu the `populateExtensionsMenu(self, menu)` method has to be implemented in plugin class.
|
|
The reason can be faound in the [source code](https://github.com/KDE/falkon/blob/master/src/lib/plugins/plugininterface.h)
|
|
|
|
The parameter menu is the menu into which the new entry / action will be added.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def populateExtensionsMenu(self, menu):
|
|
action = Falkon.Action(
|
|
"Tutorial 4 - Extension menu entry",
|
|
menu
|
|
)
|
|
action.triggered.connect(self.onExtensionMenuTriggered)
|
|
|
|
menu.addAction(action)
|
|
|
|
def onExtensionMenuTriggered(self):
|
|
msgBox = QtWidgets.QMessageBox()
|
|
msgBox.setText('Tutorial 4 - Message from extension menu')
|
|
msgBox.exec_()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example the action will show messagebox[1] with 'Tutorial 4 - Message from extension menu'.
|
|
|
|
The full code can be found at [extensions/Tutorial4](../extensions/Tutorial4)
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Always create an instance of Action in `populateExtensionsMenu`.
|
|
It will be deleted / destroyed when the menu is hidden.
