    Can't display content app in Members tab

    I'm trying to develop a content app to download a csv with the info of registered members of my website. I created a simple manifest with these properties:

    {
// define the content apps you want to create
"contentApps": [
  {
    "name": "Log Users", // required - the name that appears under the icon
    "alias": "logUsers", // required - unique alias for your app
    "weight": 0, // optional, default is 0, use values between -99 and +99 to appear between the existing Content (-100) and Info (100) apps
    "icon": "icon-calculator", // required - the icon to use
    "view": "~/App_Plugins/logUsers/logUsers.html", // required - the location of the view file
    "show": [
      "-content/*", // hide for all contents
      "-media/*", // hide for all media
      "+member/*" // show for all members
    ]
  }
],
// array of files we want to inject into the application on app_start
"javascript": [
    "~/App_Plugins/WordCounter/logUsers.controller.js"
]}

    However, the new tab does not display anywhere nor in the members page, neither in the member detail page. If I change the -content to +content the app display correctly in content pages.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I would love to know too, I have the exact same issue. You will see the content app when you click on a Member, but not when you view all Members.

    I use this code and it appears on an individual Member:

    {
    // define the content apps you want to create
    "contentApps": [
    {
        "name": "Export Members", // required - the name that appears under the icon
        "alias": "exportMembers", // required - unique alias for your app
        "weight": 0, // optional, default is 0, use values between -99 and +99 to appear between the existing Content (-100) and Info (100) apps
        "icon": "icon-paper-plane", // required - the icon to use
        "view": "~/App_Plugins/ExportMembers/exportmembers.html", // required - the location of the view file

        "show": [
            "-content/*", // hide for content type 'homePage'
            "+member/*", // show for all other Member types
            "+members/*", // show for all other Member types
        ]
    }
    ],

    // array of files we want to inject into the application on app_start
    "javascript": [
        "~/App_Plugins/ExportMembers/exportmembers.controller.js"
    ]
}

    Warning: be sure to hard refresh to see it. If unsure, close down Visual Studio and and hard reload on startup.

    I have just implemented this with a Custom Dashboard. See https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/extending/dashboards/

    This is the way to go, a content app is not appropriate for a Members Export

    Thanks for your answer, In the end I used a content app, but created a custom content to display it. Your solution is better though, thanks
