How to make a creative tab

How can I make a creative tab like the About Me tab in my profile on this Joomlapolis site ?

All you need to do is to follow these steps:

  • Make a new tab - as the title name use 'About Me'
  • Make a new field of type editor text area- as the field title use _UE_REALLY_EMPTY and place it in the newly created 'About Me' tab
  • In you language file(s) (if you haven't added new languages just update your default_language.php file) add an entry DEFINE('_UE_REALLY_EMPTY','');

That's it!

Proof of concept - a screen shot of the actual field definition of this site's About Me implementation follows:


UPDATE FOR CB 1.2:

For CB 1.2 and above versions there is no need to follow the empty language string method described above. Just create the field and mark it to be displayed without its title.
