moving BP User menu to WP admin menu: how?

(I posted this in another form but I think it’s more appropriate here)

Hey there – I’ve searched all through the form here and google’d but still can’t figure it out.

I need to move the BP user menu (the one on the top right in the admin bar) to the WP admin menu (the one that runs vertically down the left – not the wp admin bar).

We’ve already got a custom Admin theme going and know how to add top level tabs to the WP admin menu but can’t find the appropriate hook.

I’ve been playing around with
add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘bp_admin_bar_my_account_root()’ );
but so far no luck.

Looked at the plugins but they only seem to modify the menu’s that we’re trying to move.

Any ideas?

Thanks muchly

Got an update as I saw others on the web trying to find a solution:

The following will output the appropriate links when put in an admin page:
```
<li><a href="" rel="nofollow">Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="" rel="nofollow">Settings</a></li>
<li><a href="" rel="nofollow">Friends</a></li>
```
The following function puts a tab in the admin menu (this as a submenu under the profile.php) and that allows a url to be directly linked to it (as opposed to being launched from a admin page)
```
function admin_menu_new_items() {
    global $submenu;
    $submenu['profile.php'][232] = array( 'Menu item name', 'edit_posts' , 'http://google.com' ); 
} 

add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'admin_menu_new_items' );

So now just have to load the <code>bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/'
```
into a variable I can put in the above string.

Still trying to figure that one out.

wow – for some reason the above got totally borked:

the first <li> item should read "echo bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/'" in between the php tags
