XF 1.4 Adding content to a newly created tab?

[sunnytimeshere]

I managed to create a new tab but how do I add content to it? I'm trying to make a FAQ tab but I can't figure out how to add the page content to the tab. Thx.

How did you create the tab?
What does it link to?

If you want to create a page with content you can create a Page node or a custom help page.

I created the tab by following the directions from Jake here.

It links to nothing... I'm trying to create a tab with a page that lists faq. I can see how to create a page node but not how to make it appear under the tab.

You link the tab to the page node URL using xen:link.

Brogan is there a manual for dummies? I've looked through the manual listed in your sig but I can't find reference to this or other very detailed questions I have. For example...I don't understand what xen:link means...

 

[Paul B]

As per the example in that thread, you would use something like: <a href="{xen:link pages/page-name/}" class="navLink">{xen:phrase my_title}</a>

You can substitute the phrase for hard coded text.

OK I tried it. It didn't exactly work but it did give me the links to the help and contact me pages. So I made them into a category at the bottom and removed the tab at the top. That's a newbie work-around I guess. Thx for help.

Thank you, yes that video was helpful! I was able to create a new tab but got stuck adding content to it.

I'm also new so I decided to experiment with this a bit. Check out my other thread. Hopefully that helps. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/create-new-page-whats-the-url-portion.85734/
