Support and Feature request

I have encountered a problem displaying menu tabs. I am using menu tabs with a view but I do not know what module is involved.

It appears that menu tabs only display if the first term in the path alias uses the word user or comment (perhaps a few others, but I did not try to discover a list). If the first term is anything else, the tabs will not be displayed. I suspect that this may be an overlooked condition rather than a requirement of the code. I have several questions:

  1. What is the list of path terms that will work?
  2. Is there a reason why only these key paths should have access to the menu tabs?
  3. Can this list be expanded to allow the user to use customized paths?
  4. Is this a views issue or something in the core?

Im just going over some old core issues and closing what I can.

Youve asked a very open question, and its been over a year so I will just give a quick answer, but feel free to re-open and ask more if you need to.

If you are adding items to the 'main menu' or 'nav. menu', they need to existing paths in the system. Unless youve added pages with page manager or views or similar method, most 'system paths' are of the form node/%, user/%, taxonomy/term/%, etc. You can give these any sort of alias you want, but they still live at those locations.

If are talking about the 'local tasks menu tabs' (for a node: view - edit - etc), this is similar but a bit more involved, and I wont explain now.
