I agree that you cannot add anything to Portal Settings directly. Yes, you would have to either use hooks, or fork the repository.

However, there is a section ā€œCustom Sidebar Menuā€. I suppose you could build your own sidebar here, then click ā€œHide Standard Buttonā€ checkbox near the top of the page.

Iā€™m just making guesses; Iā€™ve never used this feature. But since it contained the word ā€œPortalā€, I included it in my overview.

Iā€™m not sure. Although Iā€™ve worked on ERPNext a long time, Iā€™ve barely done any work with Pages. Iā€™m not a strong Frontend by nature. So I find the Pages very difficult to figure out.

@ahassoun Thanks for sharing that YouTube tutorial on Pages, I will check that out!

I have no experience with Frappe UI. Itā€™s not part of Frappe Framework and ERPNext yet, is it?

Regarding custom Page (5th option) server-side coding in Python:

Assuming you have a custom App with the name myapp and defined a custom Page with the name mypage

Then you should have a directory ā€¦/apps/myapp/myapp/myapp/page/mypage/
with mypage.json and mypage.js

Edit the mypage.js

frappe.pages['mypage'].on_page_load = function(wrapper) {
	var page = frappe.ui.make_app_page({
		parent: wrapper,
		title: 'mypage',
		single_column: true
	});
    page.add_inner_button('User Detail', () => js_detail());

	function js_detail() {
		frappe.call({
			method: 'myapp.myapp.page.mypage.mypage.py_detail',
			args: {name: frappe.session.user},
			callback: function(r) {
				console.log(r.message);
				frappe.msgprint('<pre>' + JSON.stringify(r.message.User[0], null, 2) + '</pre>');
			}
		});
	};
}

Create a .py in ā€¦/apps/myapp/myapp/myapp/page/mypage/mypage.py

and place this code in it

import frappe
@frappe.whitelist()
def py_detail(name):
	user = frappe.db.sql("""select * from `tabUser` where name = %s""",name, as_dict=1)
	return {'User':user}

Caveat : I have not tested this code ! :rofl:

@brian_pond
Thanks for the explanation.
We hope to see more explanation updates in Frappe documentation as well as the rapid development and new versions growing up.
