You can add new block with the links hardcoded in it. or you can use PHP code input format while creating the blocks to have links generated dynamically based on the menu path.

thanks for helping, im dont

thanks for helping,

im dont realy know wht you mean by hardcoding, but dnt think it will work because each user has different links for there local tasks, so I would have to create a new block for each user.

Thats what im stuck on, i dnt no what i need to put in the block to load the tasks dynamically.

looking for this too

I know how to create a block
But is there a php code snippet to help me determine the menu on the page?
if you can grab the menu and place it in a block great.

if you just wanted to print the tabs
1. create a block
2. make sure input is set to php
3. add

<?php 
 print(menu_local_tasks());
?>

4. you would have to get rid of the tabs uptop using css. if someone can figure hat out and share I would appreciate it.
