Choose Content for a Custom Member Area Tab

Each custom Member Area tab uses one validated native Joomla content source. QCMM supports Articles, frontend Modules, and compatible Component/Menu Item targets without embedding external frames or iframes.

Joomla Article

Select Joomla Article and choose a valid article. QCMM validates that the article exists and is not trashed. Publication and Joomla access still matter when the tab is rendered.

Joomla Module

Select Joomla Module and choose a valid frontend module. QCMM validates that the module belongs to the site client rather than Administrator.

Component / Menu Item

Select a supported component target. QC Support Ticket can use its protected native workspace integration. Other compatible frontend component menu items are resolved from their Joomla menu target; QCMM rejects targets that point back to QCMM itself. Component content is rendered natively rather than through a frame or iframe.

Configure Who Can See the Tab

Choose a Joomla access level and either all logged-in users or selected Joomla user groups. You can optionally select Plans and allow Current subscribers, Previous / expired subscribers, and/or Non-subscribers. If all three subscriber-state options are left unchecked, membership status is ignored and the optional Plan selection is ignored as well.

Verify the Frontend Result

  1. Publish the tab within the active-tier limit.
  2. Sign in with a normal test user who should have access.
  3. Confirm the tab appears in the configured order and renders the selected native content.
  4. Test a user who should not qualify under the Joomla/group/Plan/subscriber rules.
  5. If a component target fails, verify the underlying frontend menu item/component is still installed, enabled, and accessible.
