That works. Thanks!
I weighted my module heavier, and added it at that juncture. I agree
creating the parent_item in a module may be cleaner, but as the tab I
need won't be the default I thought that might get needlessly
difficult. I might, in the near future, move the view to code, move
all the tabs to a hook_menu and call the view specifically there, so I
can not need to implement the menu_alter, but for now this works.
Cheers, Sam

Views does all of its menu manipulation in hook_menu_alter already,
so if your hook_menu_alter runs first then the views additions won't
be there. Try setting your module weight to heavier than views.
Alternatively, create your page first using hook_menu as the default
tab and then tweak the view to just add tabs to the page you already
created. That may be the cleaner approach.

Hello,
Not sure if this is the best place, but I've come across an
interesting
problem and I'm not certain how to proceed. I have a 3 tabbed view
(you
can actually see the live version here:
http://livestrongaction.org/featured_dedications). I want to add a
4th
tab, and thought this would be simply adding a custom module with
hook_menu and a MENU_LOCAL_TASK. However, it appears that views is
doing
something that prevents hook_menu from interacting there. I next
thought
I would try hook_menu_alter, but I can't see the three tabs being
rendered in the &$items array passed into that hook.
Now, I could just intercept this at the theme level and add what I
needed, but that seems kludgy. I'm tempted to move the entire view
into
code, but not sure how that would necessarily help this situtation. I
may ask on IRC< or the views support queue, but thought this list
may be
able to give me a few leads.
Any idea how to get a menu tab to render on a tabbed view? Hope I'm
not
missing something obvious. Thanks in advance.
