tab menu web part question
Is there a way to have the tab menu create a custom url when you click on a tab?
Here's the scenario I have a user profile page with tabs on the bottom each displaying unique profile information. I've set up separate pages for each one using the user public profile web part with different alternate forms. When a guest is on the site I want them to able to view another user's profile and be able to click through the tabs seeing the different pieces of information.

The problem I'm having with it is that it want to use the current users id to filter the web part. I link them to the profile page by using a custom url with the username in it(e.g. /members/profile/bob.aspx). I would like to use a similar custom url for the unique pages that show under the tabs(e.g. /members/specialInfo/bob.aspx) but the tab menu control will only build the link for what's under the top page. I haven't been able to find a way to create the url for the links on the tab. I've even tried using the target url.

Any help would be appreciated.

RE:tab menu web part question
Hi,

You will need to create custom web part or control - similar to the MyProfile web part where the tabs are split into separate controls which are loading certain data. Tab menu web part is not designed for this.
