I install alfresco-community 3.2 from the canonical ubuntu package / ubuntu 9.04 / tomcat6,
http://jared.ottleys.net/alfresco/alfresco-community-3-2-ubuntu-package-explained

and now I want to add new tab on Alfresco which default it has
Site Dashboard |Wiki |Blog | Document | Library | Links | Discussions | Members | Google

I want to create my own. How to do that?

I didn't see directories such as /usr/share/tomcat6/shared/classes/alfresco/messages   or    /usr/share/tomcat6/shared/classes/alfresco/messages
which in "Installing_and_Configuration_Alfresco_ECM_Community_Edition_32.pdf" said about it

1. Modify the Share configuration files in the <web-extension> directory.
2. Open the following files:
• <web-extension>/web-framework-config-custom.xml.sample
• <web-extension>/custom-slingshot-application-context.xml.sample
• <web-extension>/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml.sample
3. Uncomment any <config> items that you want to enable.
4. Add any <config> items that you want to include.
5. Save the edited files without the .sample extension.

The new tab I want to add is a tab for link to another website such as google
Site Dashboard |Wiki |Blog | Document | Library | Links | Discussions | Members | Google

after click on Google, google site appear on main frame. (frame that under tab component)

Can it be possible to do that ?

You need to add a new page and then modify the presets.xml to include it - take a look at how existing pages are referenced. You'd then either create a iframe on the page itself, or create a component to do it - and point it to Google.

This may help: it's the Customising Share Masterclass presentation from the recent series of meet-ups. It doesn't go into great depth, but should point you in the right direction to start. http://mikehatfield-alfresco.s3.amazonaws.com/forum/MasterclassCustomizingShare.pdf

Thanks,
