Plone automatically generates tabs based on the folder subtitles, but you can change this if you're not happy....

Remove the tabs that Plone automatically generates.

  • Login with manager permission and click preferences.
  • Click navigation settings in the left-hand menu
  • There is a box at the top – automatically generate tabs. Unclick this to turn this off.

To manually add a tab.

  • You need to go to high level ZMI i.e /aq_parent/manage_main

  • Click Portal actions (creates custom tabs)

  • You will then see a list of portal actions such as RSS feed, Send this page to someone ect. Go to the bottom which allows you to add an action

  • To create a tab titled 'The Great Poets' for example enter:

    Title = The Great Poets
    Id = the_great_poets (short url)
    URL (Expression)= string:$portal_url/the_great_poets
    Condition = blank
    Permission = View
    Category = portal_tabs
    Visbile? = check the box
    

    The best thing to do is look at a tab already there and modify what you see for the folder you want.
