Can DS manage "admin tabs" placement for a node?
After some looking around, I've found the following two approaches:


Use DS's 'dynamic field'
Use DS's 'preprocessor field'


Dynamic Field


Create a Dynamic Field (in /admin/structure/ds/fields) for Node entities.
Go to the 'manage display' of your content type and place the dynamic field somewhere.
Click 'Select Content' on the field settings (through manage display)
Select 'Page Elements'
Select Tabs, and save


Preprocessor Field

Not 100% working for me right now, however just to give the basic idea:


Create a preprocessor field in DS and add the field to your content type.
In your template.php file, instantiate the field:

function YOURTHEME_preprocess_node(&amp;$vars) {
  $vars['nameoffield'] = print render(menu_local_tabs());
}


I'm currently getting some errors with the preproccessor approach, however the dynamic field approach is working fine.
