Adding custom tabs

Modified on Sun, 19 Apr at 11:08 PM

You can create your own tabs to add to the Community Portal.
See Creating a custom school events tab.

To create a custom tab:

Open Windows Explorer on your organisation's server.
Navigate to the Site/Pages directory inside the Community Portal directory.
Add your custom pages to the directory.

Note: Any customisations you make to the code of the standard Community Portal pages should also be stored in this directory so they are retained during upgrades.
In Synergetic, select Module > System > Configuration File Maintenance.
The Configuration File Maintenance window is displayed.
Create the following three configuration settings for each page you want to create:
Tip: Click to create a new configuration setting.

Key 1	Key 2	Key 4	Type	Value
CommunityPortal	Pages	EnabledFlag	BIT	True to make the page appear in the portal. See CustomSchoolEvents:EnabledFlag configuration setting.
CommunityPortal	Pages	MenuOrder	INT	Integer to determine the order that the tab should appear on the menu bar. See CustomSchoolEvents:MenuOrder configuration setting.
CommunityPortal	Pages	ParentPageName	String	Name of the tab that this tab should appear under. See CustomSchoolEvents:ParentPageName configuration setting.
CommunityPortal	Pages	Text	String	Title to appear in the menu bar for this tab. See CustomSchoolEvents:Text configuration setting.
CommunityPortal	Pages	URL	String	Universal resource location of the custom page. See CustomSchoolEvents:URL configuration setting.

Note: Key 3 determines which custom page this configuration setting refers to. To create multiple custom pages, use unique Key 3 values for each page. Configuration settings that relate to the same custom page must use the same Key 3.
