Manage QCMM Custom Member Area Tabs

QCMM lets administrators extend Member Area with native Joomla content while keeping the built-in tabs intact. Custom-tab limits depend on the current entitlement tier, and downgrade behavior is preservation-first.

Current Custom-Tab Limits

Basic allows 1 custom Member Area tab, Pro allows 2, and Max/All Access are unlimited. Existing higher-tier custom tabs are preserved after downgrade; QCMM blocks adding or newly publishing beyond the current limit instead of deleting saved configuration.

Create a Custom Tab

  1. Open QCMM Member Area in Administrator.
  2. Choose Add Tab and enter the tab name.
  3. Select Article, Module, or Component / Menu Item as the content source.
  4. Configure Joomla access level, optional Joomla user groups, optional Plans, and subscriber-state rules.
  5. Save the tab. If the publication limit is already reached, QCMM can preserve the new configuration as Unpublished rather than exceed the active-tier publication limit.

Publish and Reorder

Publish or unpublish custom tabs from the Member Area list. Drag tabs into the desired frontend order; QCMM saves the complete submitted order. The required Membership core tab cannot be unpublished.

Built-In Tabs Are Protected

Built-in tabs can be renamed/reordered according to their controls, but they cannot be deleted. The Membership tab is always published. The Account tab renders the logged-in user’s native Joomla profile and does not consume a custom-tab slot.

Delete Only Custom Tabs

Deleting a custom tab removes that tab configuration. QCMM refuses deletion of built-in Member Area tabs.
