Buddypress, Wp-Favorite Posts, and Custom Profile Menu … OH MY

So Im using BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu to display a custom tab for a page called “favorites”

Im using WP-Favorite Posts to save favorites of posts and custom post types (properties) to this favorites page.

I’ve modified the favorites page to display a grid of thumbnails, instead of just a list of titles. This is done with a custom page template.

The new page template (favorites) is not displaying within buddypress. It works on the page Favorites, but not using the custom tab, favorites, within buddypres.

Maybe I can do away with the custom profile menu and just add the tab, favorites into the buddypress profile hardcoded. But will it display this custom page template? Any thoughts?

Here are a few links of info I used to do this:

I’m using WP 3.8, Buddypress 1.9.1

Thanks!

You probably want to be using bp_core_new_nav_item() hooked to bp_setup_nav the new nav item takes an array ‘name’, ‘slug’, ‘default_subnav_slug’, ‘screen_function’, ‘position’

‘screen function’calls a function that in turn hooks a template function to ‘bp_template_content’ and bp_core_load_template() which for ease use plugin.php

Then in your function that is hooked to ‘bp_template_content’ you’ll run what ever ‘stuff’ you want to display on the screen.

Huh?

lol…I’m sorry but I’m not exactly on your level. Dumb that down just a bit, maybe with some cut and paste? I can work with glue, php not so much..

Thanks for the reply though!!
