Answer 1

In your custom module add below code in layout xml file

<adminhtml_customer_edit>
 <reference name="customer_edit_tabs">
 <action method="addTab"><name>customtab_name</name><block>modulename/adminhtml_customer_tab</block></action>
 </reference>
</adminhtml_customer_edit>

Create block file in your custom module

<?php
class Namespace_Modulename_Block_Adminhtml_Customer_Tab
extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Template
implements Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tab_Interface {
 /**
 * Set the template for the block
 *
 */
 public function _construct()
 {
 parent::_construct();
 $this->setTemplate('template path here');
 }
 /**
 * Retrieve the label used for the tab relating to this block
 *
 * @return string
 */
 public function getTabLabel()
 {
 return $this->__('My Custom Tab');
 }
 /**
 * Retrieve the title used by this tab
 *
 * @return string
 */
 public function getTabTitle()
 {
 return $this->__('Click here to view your custom tab content');
 }
 /**
 * Determines whether to display the tab
 * Add logic here to decide whether you want the tab to display
 *
 * @return bool
 */
 public function canShowTab()
 {
 return true;
 }
 /**
 * Stops the tab being hidden
 *
 * @return bool
 */
 public function isHidden()
 {
 return false;
 }
}

EDIT

add below code in file Customtab_Customeraccount.xml at app/etc/modules/Customtab_Customeraccount.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
 <modules>
 <Customtab_CustomerAccount>
 <active>true</active>
 <codePool>local</codePool>
 <depends />
 </Customtab_CustomerAccount>
 </modules>
</config>

You need to change your Action.php below code

public function canShowTab()
 {
 $customer = Mage::registry('current_customer');
 return (bool)$customer->getId();
 }

to:

public function canShowTab()
 {
 return true;
 }

• Yogita: Please check my question I Edit it, Let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
• Prashant Valanda: @yogita your code is correct any error there?
• Yogita: No Error, And I don't see any New tab in my customer module admin side.
• Yogita: The Path is right but Miss to mention : <config> and <module> in Customtab_Customeraccount.xml <br/> Now Tab appears but only when I edit any customer not in add new customer, I want the tab in both.
• Prashant Valanda: @Yogita updated answer check it
