    I notice that in amember account area on this site you have customised usertab buttons, as highlighted in attached image.

    How can we add such button to our own installations?

    Specifically I would like to a but that says "Manage/buy Subscriptions" and another that says "Order books", both of which take the user to various signup forms for purchasing products.

    Here is complete example. Place this code to /amember/application/configs/site.php
    PHP:
    <?php
    Am_Di
    ::getInstance()->hook->add(Am_Event::USER_MENU'onUserMenu');
       function 
    onUserMenu(Am_Event $event)
        {
            
    $event->getMenu()->addPage(
                array(
                    
    'id' => 'pageid',
                    
    'label' => 'Button label',
                    
    'uri' => '/test/url',
                    
    'order' => 1000
                
    )
            );
        }
    ?>

    Great that works fine.

    The only thing that is strange is that when my custom button is "active" the button next to it highlighted Red.

    The code added was
    $event->getMenu()->addPage(
    array(
    'id' => 'membership',
    'label' => 'Other Membership Fees',
    'uri' => '/amember/signup/index/c/default',
    'order' => 150
    )

    But the default "Add/renew" button is highlighted red when the new custom button is active?

    I also want to achieve a similar thing on my site - I used the code above to successfully create the tab when the user signs in. Now I just need to create the content, however I want it to appear where all the user content appears (i.e. just under the tab menu), how can I acheive this, and where do I place my new file that I'm linking to (so that it is protected).

    Many thanks for this great support forum.

    Hi, I tried this code snippet and it works great...with one problem. The CSS that makes currently selected tabs red is not working for the new tab. For the other tabs, it's fine. For the new tab, it's not.

    Does this have something to do with the uri being set in 'site.php'? It's a protected page, so instead of just 'amember/blah', it's like 'amember/content/p/id/1/'

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately it is impossible to detect that page is active in case of you used 'uri' parameter instead of 'controller' and 'action' to add new tab.

    So please use the following code in site.php. It should fix your issue:
    PHP:
    Am_Di::getInstance()->hook->add(Am_Event::USER_MENU'onUserMenu');
      function 
    onUserMenu(Am_Event $event)
        {
            
    $event->getMenu()->addPage(
                array(
                    
    'id' => 'pageid',
                    
    'label' => 'Button label',
                    
    'controller' => 'content',
                    
    'action' => 'p',
                    
    'params' => array('id' => 1)
                    
    'order' => 1000
                
    )
            );
        }

    Your case is a bit more complex. Your page and default renew page use same controller and same action.
    So I recommend you to use the following workaround in your site.php:

    PHP:
    $menu $event->getMenu();
    $menu->addPage(array(
            
    'id' => 'new-add-renew',
            
    'label' => 'Other Membership Fees',
            
    'uri' => '/amember/signup/index/c/default',
            
    'order' => 150));
    $menu->removePage($menu->findOneBy('id''add-renew'));  //remove MVC page so it was not highlighted automatically
    $menu->addPage(array(
            
    'id' => 'add-renew',
            
    'label' => 'Add/Renew Subscription',
            
    'uri' => '/amember/signup/index',
            
    'order' => 150)); // add it again with uri parameter

    //hack to select needed tab
    if (preg_match('#^/amember/signup/index/c/default*#i'$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
            
    $menu->findOneBy('id''new-add-renew')->setActive(true);
    } elseif (
    preg_match('#^/amember/signup/index*#i'$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
            
    $menu->findOneBy('id''add-renew')->setActive(true);
    }

    The easiest way to add page with your content for users is use build in page maker.
    Just go to aMember CP -> Products -> Protect Content -> Pages and create new record with your content.

    Hi all,

    If you're like me and all you wanted to do is change the text label inside one of the existing tabs and not create a custom tab or anything... (for example: in my case, all I wanted to do was change 'Main Page' so that it reads 'Dashboard' instead) - then I have the easiest and best solution for you...

    Just go to this URL in your admin area http://yoursite.com/amember/admin-trans-global and then navigate to page 25, you'll see the entry for 'Main Page' which you can translate to 'Dashboard'.

    You can change almost any text displayed to customers from here too so it's very useful for all sorts of simple text changes!

    I understand you are all trying to add tabs, what about deleting them?

    What would i use to delete the add/renew subscription button? I tried this but it had no effect:
    Am_Di::getInstance()->hook->add(Am_Event::USER_MENU, create_function('$event', "
    \$event->getMenu()->removePage(\$event->getMenu()->findOneBy('id', 'signup'));"));

    I would like to do the same as samskirrow I can get the tab to appear but nomatter where I put the file that it should open I get: Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0. I have tried a basic html file as well as the php file I really need. the script in the site.php is:

    Am_Di::getInstance()->hook->add(Am_Event::USER_MENU, 'onUserMenu');
    function onUserMenu(Am_Event $event)
    {
    $event->getMenu()->addPage(
    array(
    'id' => 'specialties',
    'label' => 'Specialties',
    'controller' => 'content',
    'action' => 'specialties.php',
    'params' => array('id' => 20),
    'order' => 150
    )
    );
    }
    I tried to create the page via the admin but the page treats php code as text.
    thanks

    I have this, which works great at renaming a tab:

    Code:
    //remove tabs
    Am_Di::getInstance()->hook->add(Am_Event::USER_MENU, function (Am_Event $event) {
        $user = $event->getUser();
        $menu = $event->getMenu();
    
        if ($page = $menu->findOneById('helpdesk')) {
            $menu->removePage($page);
        }
    });
    
    //add tabs
    Am_Di::getInstance()->hook->add(Am_Event::USER_MENU, 'onUserMenu');
    function onUserMenu(Am_Event $event)
    { 
            $event->getMenu()->addPage(
                array(
                    'id' => 'help',
                    'label' => 'Tickets',
                    'uri' => '/members/helpdesk/',
                    'order' => 3
                )
            );
    }
    It's fairly easy to style the tab background color (including hover) with css. But, I'm struggling on how to alter the background color of tab when the tab is in active state (such as the color #88bc40).

    Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

    Thanks for any help.

    I believe you can use this CSS rule:
    HTML:
    ul.am-tabs li.active > a {
        background: green;
    }
