If you want to edit it directly (not recommended) it'll be on the server, not in the admin console.

Best practice is to build a plugin to add the tabs for you, which is fairly straightforward, and an example is shown in the document I referenced above.

Hi Will,

Thanks for the documentation. I'm sure this is a dumb question, but can you tell me where I can find the xml files? Are they in Admin or are they outside of admin on our server?

Thanks

Angela

Hi Will, thanks for the tips. i have seen SBS but we just recently upgraded to Clearspace Communit in March. It took over a year to work out the contract etc. So if you want to give us a free upgrade then sweet let's do it. It would have to included free SSO customization as well.

Anyway, thanks for the tips. I'll take a look. Loving Clearspace by the way!!!

Hey Rick,

Have you seen our 3.0 SBS release? We have a Video Module which can do this automatically for you

If you still want to add a tab, please see this document which explains the ui-components stuff, which is how our tabs (and many other things) are added / shown, etc. UI Components: Frequently Asked Questions

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Add Custom Tabs within Communties

Hi guys,

We were wondering if it's possible to create custom tabs inside communties. We want to create a "Videos" tab inside all of our subcommunities so it would look like:

Overview - All Content - Discussions - Docuements - Blogs - VIDEOS

I've read through some existing threads here and it looks like it's possible. Can oyu guys give us a point int he right direction on this one? To us, it makes more sense to add these tabs as opposed to creating entirely new subcommunties dedicated to videos. Thanks!

Rick
