hi,

How do I get current url of any BP page/component/etc..?

e.g., native WP get_permalink for example.com/username/profile/ shows example.com/members.

what should be used instead?

Edit:
don’t know how bad this method is, but `$_SERVER[“SERVER_NAME”] . $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]` worked fine for me. From my unprofessional point, central wrapper would be easier

P.S. Lost some minutes, because of “It looks like you’ve already said that!” – strange behavior + small mistake with you’ve.

thank you!

BuddyPress uses different functions for different components,
“ will echo the current (displayed) profile’s url (used in your example)

I wonder if we do need a central wrapper function for this type of thing or not.

@djpaul – i was actually thinking the same thing after i wrote the above, just testing a patch before adding it to trac for feedback.

BTW, we need to be more consistant… why do we use displayed_user for the displayed user but we use current_group for displayed group ect.?

Probably just because how it was written three years ago. If you’ve got a time machine handy…
