Hi there

Im a newbie to Plone so its really great that there are these add on products that make life easier for novice site developers.

My question is, I have created a TAB on my test site but how do I add content as I have a TAB to nowhere when it is clicked on.  I have created a page in the site root dir within ZMI, how do I point the TAB to the page - or will the TAB only connect to a folder/smartfolder.

What I am trying to achieve is to have different navigation TABS (eg, SERVICES, PROJECTS, ABOUTS US) than what is shown in the navigation portlet (eg, LINKS, MEETINGS, CONTACT US) - I only want HOME to be shown in both. 

During my research to achievement I found your excellent product but am unsure how to add content.

Plone 2.5.2

Python 2.4.3

qPloneTabs 0.22

Sione

Hi,

actually product qPloneTabs work only with those tabs which stay in portal_actions tool and have 'portal_tab' category. You talk about tabs generated automatically from portal root folderish objects (Events, Members, etc). First of all you have to go to plone_control_panel (link Site Setup at the top right side)  and navigation configlet. Here you have to switch off '
Automatically generate tabs' checkbox. And you will have only one initial tab - Home. Then to add your own tab to your's, for example, folder 'my_folder' in portal root, you have to create tab in Portal Tabs configlet and set it's 'url' input to $portal_url/my_folder or absolute url: http://youhost/my_folder .

Or look for examples to portal_action tool in ZMI.

Best regards.

For better understanding how to set 'url' input you need to read some docs about TALES. See Zope Help.
