Create an entry with avatar and username in main menu that link to bp_core_new_nav_item

[akal]

Hi,

I’ve some questions about kleo menu :

1° I’ve tried to add ##member_name##  in the “Kleo – My Account” title Attribute field but still only the avatar appears, no username…

2° I’ve created a new custom tab in the bp user section (using bp_core_new_nav_item). I’ve add a custom link in the top main menu using ##profile_link##mycustomtab and that works fine. But now, I would like to do more and display the avatar (and username) under this link. how ?

does that make sense for you ?

Cheers

Akal

1 – I see the username just fine. see attachment.

2 – This will take custom coding that is beyond the scope of support here. If you’d like to get a quote on this, contact dev@seventhqueen.com.

2° – ok I’ll do it in another way

Is there something different with that account? Does the name show up if you log in with the Kleo account?

Also, not sure if you want to do this, but you can always change the default screen in the profile to your custom screen. That way when someone clicks on the menu avatar it will load your custom screen 🙂 There’s info on how to do this on the buddypress site.

right, with your kleo account it’s ok, I see your username… but neither with my admin account nor with S2members accounts… but it’s not realy important 😉
Yeah in all case, most important for me is to send user to the new tab “activités” when he clics on his avatar in the top menu. Is there a way to do that without heavy coding ?

As I mentioned, set it as your default screen. Again, info on doing this is on the bp site.

Done ! for those who are interested by the procedure :

Create a blank file bp-custom.php in your plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php)

Then, copy/paste this :

COPY CODE

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here

/**
 * Change BuddyPress default Members landing tab.
 */
define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
?>

and remplace ‘profile’ by the slug of your new tab

Save, it’s done !

Cheers

Akal
