How to put my asset in the right section in tab menu?

[Serzh IV]

Hey, everybody.  I've created my own assembly. I put the dll in the dso folder. Houdini sees it. But when I use it, the tab menu shows it in the Custom section
How can I make it to be in the section I need?
Let's say Tab -> My Assets -> test asset.
Can you tell me what I need to do, is there any information on this issue?

Yes, it's hard to look in the documentation, but, you can find it if you look )

Here is the signature:

OP_Operator(
        const char *name,
        const char *english,
        OP_Constructor construct,
        PRM_Template *templates,
        unsigned min_sources,
        unsigned max_sources = 9999,
        CH_LocalVariable *variables = 0,
        unsigned flags = 0,
        const char **inputlabels = 0,
        int maxoutputs = 1,
        const char *tab_submenu_path = 0);

When adding a new operator, you just need to specify a section instead of ab_submenu_path
At the same time other components are also set there, let's say several outputs of a node.
May be useful for someone )

However, as far as adding outputs on a node - this doesn't work for nodes in SOP. The output itself appears, but there is no way to pass data to it (I have not found a way). And that's a pity!

If, suddenly, someone bypassed this limitation, I would be glad to see this mechanism )
