I've been looking high and low and can't find how to be able to modify my menu items to add custom parameters.

I can see Sermon Distributor has custom parameters a tab called "Sermon Distributor" but I can't find out how it was created in JCB.

I dealt with that myself. You need to have the tab named identical to the site view. For example, if the view is My Site View, in the component settings there needs to be a tab titled My Site View. Then on compile it should add the settings(options) to your menu item.

Are we talking about tabs in the admin view or tab in the configurations?

JCB->Joomla Components->Settings->Config.

Have the name in the tab name column match whst you have in Name in your site view. Note: name, not system name.

Thanks, this seems to be broken, are you able to save anything in there. I can't even open the Sermon component and resave it. 500 error.

I guess i wasn't really clear in my previous post. First time back online in almost a week dealing with a horrible case of stomach flu.

The config area was fixed with the last release, so you should be able to now save changes made in it.

I have a view named players and I have a tab in config name players so that I can have a menu item parameter but I want to include on the same tab some other things but don't want them to show up as menu item parameters. Any ideas?
