Control Tabs Using Tab Tamer
Has a client ever asked if you could reorder or change the name of a tab. Instead of displaying the view, edit and revisions tabs, the client wants to move "revisions" before “edit” and rename "view" to "current". This can all be archived by writing a custom module and implementing hook_menu_alter, but there is a module that allows site builders to rename, reorder, disable and hide tabs. It’s called Tab Tamer.
Installation is simple, just download Tab Tamer and install it on a Drupal site. Once installed, go to admin/config/system/tabtamer to configure tabs.
If you click on the "NODE/%" field-set you'll be able to rename, reorder, disable and hide tabs which only appear on the /node/ pages. After you have configured the tabs make sure you flush the site cache.
Here is what the standard tabs look like:
Now here is what it looks like after I clear the site cache:

Re: How to create a Drupal 7 Tab ?
Sorry for asking a 'dumb' question after reading the above and watching your YouTube Video on Tab Tamer. But could you please explain how to create in Drupal 7 a Tab in the first place (which Drupal module(s) used etc.) ? Thanks a lot for your reply !
