Change default tab in Product Edit Page

Question

If I open any product,by default "General" tab is showing.

Like below screenshot.

But I want to open "Prices" tab by default. Like below screenshot.

Anyone can tell me how to do that.?

Answer 1

1. Check this class

Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Product_Edit_Tabs

and find the appropriate tab.

2. Override it to change the tab ordering.

Answer 2

Override your Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Product_Grid block and change the getRowUrl() function to include param for active_tab.

Here I have set it to the name (group_8) of the 'Prices' tab.Inspect your prices tab element to find this.

public function getRowUrl($row)
{
    return $this->getUrl('*/*/edit', array(
        'store'=>$this->getRequest()->getParam('store'),
        'id'=>$row->getId(),
        'active_tab' => 'group_8')
    );
}
