Hello Josh,

Those are actually apps that are rendered on your profile page. In order for you to add your tab there, you need to create an app. You can refer to the existing app on your site. All user apps are located in /media/com_easysocial/apps/user

But their are so many apps in here im looking for on that i can inject my own code in. could you give me a little more direction on what app would be able to allow me to inject my own code on a custom tab ??

You don't just inject codes. You need to create an app to render the contents that you want. You may refer to any of the existing app in /media/com_easysocial/apps/user/ on how you could create an app. Once you have developed the app, discover and install the app in EasySocial.

If you prefer to hack your way through (which is a bad idea for upgrades), you may tweak the theme file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/cover/user.php and apply your own codes there.

so once i make the app can i just zip it up and then install it using easy social ?

Yes, alternatively just use the "Discover" button to discover the new app and install it

How does it know but where to install the files to as in like how dose it know to install it into the users folder ?

and im not quite sure what you mean by using the discover new app and install it ?

do you have a template file you could send me with just a blank app ? like just a basic file structure to install my own app

then i should be able to edit my code from there ?

I do not have a blank app but as I have mentioned in my previous reply, take a look at the existing app, that would give you a better idea on how to create an app.

If you are creating the folders on the server directly, you don't have to zip them up, all you need to do is to discover the app (if the app files are in place with the xml file)

Ok thanks for the tips ill give it a go, ill duplicate the links app. Is the XML file the only one i need in there because i wont need many asset etc

If you are going to want to render contents on the app (when the user clicks on it), I strongly suggest you refer to the article app as the article app does exactly that.

when ever i try to install it I just get an error 500 ??

could you guys have a look i seemed to have killed easy social all together ??

This is really annoying I am doing what you guys have instructed me to do and now this has taken down our hole website !

can you please fix what ever is going on I cant seem to work out what is going on ???

I copied the links folder then I called it mytrades then i changed the XML file to sute i clicked on discover it found it then i clicked on install and it crashed the hole site

I fixed it was a php error in my page i added

it took down the hole site
