How can I add an extra tab on the products page (admin side)?  Ideally this tab will load a specific section of Joomla.   This tab will not have anything to do with front end -- it's just a spot that I need to remember to do something extra with the product for our admin reasons.

You can do this by creating your own override for the:

product_edit.php

look for this area which shows you the tabs the product edit will create


<?php // Loading Templates in Tabs
$tabarray = array();
$tabarray['information'] = 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_FORM_PRODUCT_INFO_LBL';
$tabarray['YOURNEWSTUF'] = 'YOURNEWTABNAMETODISPLAY'//added by ME
$tabarray['description'] = 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_FORM_DESCRIPTION';
$tabarray['status'] = 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_FORM_PRODUCT_STATUS_LBL';
$tabarray['dimensions'] = 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_FORM_PRODUCT_DIM_WEIGHT_LBL';
$tabarray['images'] = 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_FORM_PRODUCT_IMAGES_LBL';



Then create your "YOURNEWSTUFF" with whatever it needs to display

product_edit_yournewstuff.php

And do not forget to override in your admin template else you loose all changes on virtuemart update
