Hi!

I'm writing a plugin that extends the Ranlab User plugin, and I'm having problems with how to extend the backend. First, some info about my plugin:

I have a model called Organization with the following relation:

class Organization extends Model
{
    // ...
    public $hasMany = [
        'users' => ['RainLab\User\Models\User'],
    ];
    // ...
}

In Plugin.php:

public function boot()
{
    UserModel::extend(function($model) {
        // The user is an ORGANIZATION, and has organization info:
        $model->hasOne['orginfo'] = ['TF\User\Models\Organization'];

        // The user is a MEMBER of an organization:
        $model->belongsTo['organization'] = ['TF\User\Models\Organization'];
    });

    UsersController::extendFormFields(function($form, $model, $context) {

        if (!$model instanceof UserModel)
            return;

        if (!$model->exists)
            return;

        $user = $model; // For clarity / readabillity below.

        if ($user->orginfo) {
            //
            //  User is an ORGANIZATION:
            //
            $form->addTabFields([

                'orginfo[contact_name]' => [
                    'label' => 'Contact First Name',
                    'tab' => 'Contact Info',
                    'span' => 'auto',
                ],

                // How do I render a list of organization members (users) in a new
                // "Members" tab? I would prefer to use the built in backend list 
                // functionality of October CMS.
            ]);
        }

        // ...
    }
}

How do I make October CMS display a list of users -- that are members of (belong to) the organization user currently being viewed -- under a new "Members" tab in the backend?

Feel free to ask for more information about my plugin / code.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I understand from reading https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/widgets and http://www.sitepoint.com/build-octobercms-widget-plugin/ that I can create a widget that displays the list of users that are members of the organization user that is currently being viewed. But I'm unsure whether I should use a "generic widget" or a "form widget" for this. Also, if I use a generic widget, how do I call that from the ->addTabFields([...]); so it is rendered in a new tab called "Members"?
