1 admin_bar.api.php hook_admin_bar_output_build(&$content)

Add to the administration bar content before it is rendered.

Only use this hook to add new data to the menu structure. Use hook_admin_bar_output_alter() to *alter* existing data.

Parameters

array $content: A structured array suitable for backdrop_render(), potentially containing:

  • menu: The administrative bar of links below the path 'admin/*'.
  • icon: The icon menu.
  • account: The user account name and log out link.
  • users: The user counter.

Additionally, these special properties:

  • #components: The actual components contained in $content are configurable and depend on the 'admin_bar.settings.components' configuration value. #components holds a copy of that for convenience.
  • #complete: A Boolean indicating whether the complete menu should be built, ignoring the current configuration in #components.

Passed by reference.
