How do you add a menu button to the left side bar that opens?

When you open the left side bar it shows your profile pic then links like friends / photos/ news feed..

Where do i go to add more links to that side bar or rearrange the existing ones? what file?

Add the Blog component (https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/component/view/1653/blog)to your community.

You'll notice that this component is adding 2 new entries to the sections menu. The code responsible for that can be found in ossn.com.php starting at line 31.

Developing your own component for doing things like that is the recommended way. Don't change any core files.

to be more clear, i want to add a new button to the menu items that leads outside the site... outside the social network... I dont want to add a new component, just new links in that same menu...
