How to override a local task in Drupal 8
For Drupal 8, this is what worked for me. I also adjusted the weights so I could re-order the items.
/**
* Implements hook_local_tasks_alter().
*
* @inheritdoc
*/
function mymodule_local_tasks_alter(&$local_tasks) {
$local_tasks['entity.user.canonical']['title'] = 'Account Details';
$local_tasks['entity.user.canonical']['weight'] = -3;
$local_tasks['entity.user.edit_form']['title'] = 'Edit Account';
$local_tasks['entity.user.edit_form']['weight'] = -2;
}
Example 2:
/* mycomment.module */
/**
* Set the unapproved comments count.
*
* Implements hook_menu_local_tasks_alter().
*/
function mycomment_menu_local_tasks_alter(&$data, $route_name, &$cacheability) {
if ($route_name == 'comment.admin' ||
$route_name == 'comment.admin_approval' ||
$route_name == 'mycomment.admin_comment_spam'
) {
$data['tabs'][1]['comment.admin_approval']['#link']['title'] =
t('Unapproved comments (@count)', [
'@count' => get_actual_unapproved_comments(),
]);
}
}
/* mycomment.module */
/**
* Get the number of unapproved comments.
*
* @return int
* The number of unapproved comments excluding the spam comments.
*/
function get_actual_unapproved_comments() {
$query = \Drupal::entityQuery('comment');
$query->condition('status', 0);
$orCondition = $query->orConditionGroup();
$orCondition->condition('field_spam', NULL, 'IS NULL');
$orCondition->condition('field_spam', FALSE, '=');
$query->condition($orCondition);
$ids = $query->execute();
return count($ids);
}
