How to Add an HTML Block on All Admin Pages

adminadminhtmllayout

To add an html section on all pages of admin panel using a separate module i have created a sepetate layout
customercare.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
 <reference name="footer">
    <block type="adminhtml/template" template="customercare/quickbox.phtml" name="footer_quick_box" as="footer_quick_box" />
</reference>
</layout>

I have added few texts in "customercare/quickbox.phtml" but its not showing on the any of the pages.

Extension config.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <My_Customercare>
            <version>0.1.5</version>
        </My_Customercare>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <helpers>
            <customercare>
                <class>My_Customercare_Helper</class>
            </customercare>
        </helpers>
        <blocks>
            <customercare>
                <class>My_Customercare_Block</class>
            </customercare>
        </blocks>
    </global>
    <adminhtml>
        <layout>
            <updates>
                <customercare>
                    <file>customercare.xml</file>
                </customercare>
            </updates>
        </layout>
    </adminhtml>
</config>

handle missing in your layout file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <default>
        <reference name="footer">
            <block type="adminhtml/template" template="customercare/quickbox.phtml" name="footer_quick_box" as="footer_quick_box" />
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

And you need to add the below code in

root/app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/page/footer.phtml

<?php $this->getChildhtml('footer_quick_box')?>

If you don't want edit any code phtml file, then use before_body_end

i.e.,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <default>
        <reference name="before_body_end">
            <block type="adminhtml/template" template="customercare/quickbox.phtml" name="footer_quick_box" as="footer_quick_box" />
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

So the answer is that it should not be an observed event. Here is how I got it to work, in the config.xml I needed to update the adminhtml node.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Wsu_NewtworkSecurities>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Wsu_NewtworkSecurities>
  </modules>
  <adminhtml>
    <layout>
      <updates>
        <wsu_newtworksecurities>
          <file>newtworksecurities.xml</file>
        </wsu_newtworksecurities>
      </updates>
    </layout>
  </adminhtml>
</config>

and in

app\design\adminhtml\default\default\layout\wsu\newtworksecurities.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <feildset>
        <reference name="head">
            <action method="addJs">
                <script>wsu/newtworksecurities/newtworksecurities.js</script>
            </action>
        </reference>
    </feildset>

    <adminhtml_index_login>
        <update handle="feildset" />
        <reference name="form.additional.info">
            <block type="wsu_newtworksecurities/feildset" name="newtworksecurities.feildset"
                   template="wsu/newtworksecurities/feildset.phtml" />
        </reference>
    </adminhtml_index_login>

    <wsu_newtworksecurities_error_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="core/template" name="newtworksecurities.error" template="wsu/newtworksecurities/error.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </wsu_newtworksecurities_error_index>

</layout>
