Additional BuddyPress custom profile tabs

[erannou]

Hello everyone,

I tried to add a custom tabs after the usual profile tabs, like this:
ACTIVITY
PROFILE
NOTIFICATIONS
MESSAGES
FRIENDS
GROUPS
FORUMS
MEDIA
SETTINGS
CUSTOM TAB

I succesffully added it by following some tutorial with the bp_core_new_nav_item functions. The problem is to display a specific page when I click on it.

On most of the other themes, we just add this kind of functions:

COPY CODE

add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_profile_page_show’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );

The problem with Kleo is the fact that I can’t use plugins as the template as there is no header nor footer inside. So I search which was the Buddypress template, I found the Buddypress.php who seems to be the template, but instead of a hook to replace the content, there is the function: “the_content()”, and I don’t know how to use it.

So how can I make this things work ????

Here is my code, I put that in my child theme functions.php:

COPY CODE

function my_setup_nav() {
      global $bp;

      bp_core_new_nav_item( array( 
            'name' => __( 'my profile', 'buddypress' ), 
            'slug' => 'my-profile', 
            'position' => 100, 
            'screen_function' => 'my_profile_page', 
      ) );
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_setup_nav' );

function my_profile_page() {
        add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_profile_page_show’ );
	bp_core_load_template( 'members/single/plugins' );
}

function my_profile_page_show() {
	bp_core_load_template( 'members/single/my_template' );
}

Hi, this code work for me to add a custom tab:

COPY CODE

//Buddypress add profile tab
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';
}
