Sub Tabs for the My Page Tab

After hrs of hair pulling, I finally made the sub tabs: My Friends & My Groups...I haven't seen anything posted about how to do this anywhere ;so here it is:

To make a subtab for MyFriends: open Manager Tab and then open Tab Manager...Click on 'Add a new tab'...label the tab "My Friends" click on "make this a sub tab" then add this to the url box /profiles/friends/list?my=1 move the subtab to the "My Page" area...then click save.

The code for 'My Groups" is this:

/groups/group/list?my=1

Make sure that you have the group box on the main page first. Make the subtab "My Groups" in the same way as you did for the "My Friends" subtab. This can aslo be applied to forums and such...just remember that /list?my=1 is the most important component.

groups would be this /groups
you would make another Tab and label that tab : My Groups
then you would click on: make it a SubTab.
In the URL Box type this : /groups/group/list?my=1
then move the SubTab (which is on the bottom of the Tab List) to the Tab you want. (You should put the new subtab under the MY PAGE main tab) it should be indented.
Click save. Make sure that you have the GROUPS box on your MAIN PAGE. [note: that is the #1 and not a lower case L ( l ) ] The same is true for MY FRIENDS..... my=(the number one)

Dear Thunder X and 50's Chatters,
I'm not really sure why the other Group URL for My Groups works for 50's chatters. This is what I use for My Groups:
/groups/group/listForContributor

And, I use the same link as 50's Chatters for My Friends:
/profiles/friend/list?my=1

Thunder X - if you copy/paste those exact lines, and paste into the URL field under tabs (whether subtab or not), they should work.

Hope this helps,
Jen

The My Groups subtab takes me to Groups (All), and the My Friends subtab takes me to an error page: Page Not Found. :-(

Dear 50's Chatters,
Your My Friends URL works for me. For some reason, the My Groups does not. This is what works for me on My Groups:
/groups/group/listForContributor

You may want to edit your tip, just in case. :-)
Thanks again,
Jen

For My Friends, /profiles/friend/list?my=1 worked.
For My Groups, /groups/group/listForContributor worked.

Thank you 50's Chatters and Jen.
