Add custom link for a new tab in buddypress profile menu

[akal]

Hi,

I read many topics about the creation of new tab in the profile menu
I found this function which does the job :

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_test_setup_nav’ );

function my_test_setup_nav() {
global $bp;
$parent_slug = ‘test’;
$child_slug = ‘test_sub’;
//name, slug, screen, position, default subnav
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
‘name’ => ‘Test tab’,
‘slug’ => $parent_slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen’,
‘position’ => 40,
‘default_subnav_slug’ => $child_slug
)
);
}

function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen() {

//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
}

function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_title() {
echo ‘Page title’;
}

function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_content() {
echo ‘Page content’;
}

BUT, this new tab can’t be linked to a specific wp page…

After spent hours searching, I finaly found that from @danbp on buddypress.org
(https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp-bp_options_nav-wrong-user-links/)

function bpfr_my_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

$mytab=array(
‘name’ => ‘My Tab’,
‘link’ => ‘http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/my_extra_page.php’,
‘slug’ => ‘my-tab’,
‘css_id’ => ‘my_custom_tab’,
‘position’ => 100,
‘user_has_access’ => 1,
‘screen_function’ => ‘xprofile_screen_my_tab’
);
$bp->bp_options_nav[‘profile’][‘my-tab’]=$mytab;
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bpfr_my_setup_nav’);

This function added a new “sub tab” in the “My profile” section and “My tab” does a link to http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/my_extra_page.php which go out from the /members/ directory loop.

So, I would like to add a new tab in the profile menu by using the first function that will be able to link to one of my wp page, which will not be like /members/usernane/my_page but http://mysite/my_page

I hope I was clear enough… Please help :p

The bp_core_new_nav_item function will never do that. Its sole purpose is to load a submenu and an associated screen. If you are okay displaying the page within the profile screen, then you can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/screenshots/
