How can I add extra navigation tabs to my group page (I dont mean add sub-nav tabs)

Hi there,

I like the ability to add sub-pages to group, but i hate the way it buries away the sub-pages all the way to the right. Is there anyway to add some extra tabs that are always visible right where the group intro text is? Im sure it would require some extra CSS to do that.

I would also love the ability to add a video search results page to one of my group sup-pages, but there isn't an option to do that. Is there a way to do that with CSS or any other tricks too?

Thanks,

I agree, Pages are well hidden =)

This is what we did:

1) We changed the color of the module's background with the code (Design Studio, Advanced, CSS)

.xg_module.module_page .xg_module_body {background-color:#fafcfc!important;padding:4px!important;}

2) And added a ▼ character to the page names.

It's not as efficient as a subtabs system but at least the Pages module stands out.

I have to echo Michel,

It seems we are all following each other around again trying to make groups better..someday..maybe someday :)

Here's what I put up after we were scratching our heads last time to add a background pic and scroll bar.

I like the ▼ character...great idea! I will have to play around with that. Thanks Michel.

I'm 2 steps away from adding Toggle Content or Tabbed Content in my groups as well to get the job done, but it will make the page longer than I'd like. I'll let you know how it comes out if I go that route.
