Hi @nickpeplow,

it’s not possible to add sub nav items with the group API and the only other possibility that eventually could work a day (but not tomorrow 😉 ) would be bp_core_new_subnav_item(), but it is a Todo, as stated in bp-groups-classes.php:3307

Here are 2 snippets (i tested them within bp-custom.php – BP 2.0.2 Twentythirteen)

This one let you add some content on the new screen.

function add_admin_tab_content() {
	echo 'Quis scelerisque lacinia tempus nullam felis';
	}
add_action( 'groups_custom_edit_steps', 'add_admin_tab_content' );

This one create a sub nav item when you’re on the group admin screen

function bpfr_add_page_to_group() {
	
	if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
  
class My_Custom_Group_Extension extends BP_Group_Extension {
 
    function __construct() {
        $args = array(  
			'slug' => 'houba-houba',
			'parent_slug' => 'admin', // URL slug of the parent nav item
            'nav_item_position' => 100,
            'screens' => array(
                'edit' => array(
                    'name' => 'Houba Houba', // the tab name                 
                ),
                'create' => array(
                    'position' => 100,
                ),
            ),
        );
        parent::init( $args );
    }
 

     function settings_screen( $group_id ) {
		// don't remove this function
           }  
} // end of class

		bp_register_group_extension( 'My_Custom_Group_Extension' );
 
	endif;
}
add_filter('bp_groups_default_extension', 'bpfr_add_page_to_group' );

Once installed you will see that the “save change” button is still there. This button is contextual and cannot be removed, as it is used elsewhere. So you make it diseapear with the appropriate CSS with display:none!important; on the div with the ID of your/each group save button.

If you want to display that only for one group, you add a condition to bp_register_group_extension like this

} // end class
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/* display content only in one group (ex. group_ID is 14) */
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     
    // check for a group ID
        if( bp_has_groups() ) {
            // Grab current group ID
            bp_the_group();
            $group_id = bp_get_group_ID();
        }
     
    //////////////////////////////////////////
    /* apply our changes only to this group */
    //////////////////////////////////////////
     
        // conditionnal action
        if ( $group_id == 14 ) {   
            bp_register_group_extension( 'My_Custom_Group_Extension' );          
        } 

Voilà ! May this help.

More BP tips and tricks on my blog. (FR, sometimes EN – but php is always in english)

I guess you have to remove your custom code before using my snippets.

The 1st function let you add custom content on the tab. It’s not a WP page on which you can use a shortcode to call your job form.

I’ll check that.

I tested and get correctly anything from the plugin. What i did:

– installed the plugin
– create a new page called job
– added the shortcode [jobs] [submit_job_form] [job_dashboard]
– saved

In bp-custom i added this snippet, similar to the previous but who let’s you add a page to a group.

function bpfr_add_page_to_group() {
	
	if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
	
	class BPFR_Custom_Group_Extension extends BP_Group_Extension {
		
		//   building the tab 
		
		function __construct() {
			$args = array(
            'slug' => 'jobs', // tab slug - mandatory
            'name' => 'Job Center'  // tab name - mandatory        
			);
			parent::init( $args );
		} // end construct()
		
		
		// content display 		 
		
		function display() {    
			
			// grab page or post ID
			$id = 240;  
			$p = get_post($id);     
			
			// output the title     
			echo '<h3>'.apply_filters('the_content', $p->post_title).'</h3>';
			// output the post      
			echo apply_filters('the_content', $p->post_content); 
			// end option 
			
		}   // end display() 
	} // end class	
  
		bp_register_group_extension( 'BPFR_Custom_Group_Extension' ); 
 
	endif; 
}
add_filter('bp_groups_default_extension', 'bpfr_add_page_to_group' );

So far i see everything is working !

EDIT: working yes, but not on the admin tab.

@shanebp you’re right, but it’s only an example for how things can be done. 😉

I’m on another path by trying to get the plugin template of job-dashboard, via my child-theme… and by keeping the admin sub tab in place.
Half done for the moment, but not sure to get a satisfying result without hacking the plugin to get it BP compliant.

My first suggestion is really working well on a extra tab and adding restriction to a wp page is really easy to achieve. So i would probably not investigate much longer. It’s cold and rainy, so i can work on it. But if the sun comes out, i go motorbiking. 😉

I was unable to get a correctly working form when i use the plugin page on the ADMIN tab. It shows only. So i revert back to get the job manager on a separate page who shows up on a group page.
The snippet is set for admins only and to work only on group ID 13 and 9.

Anything is commented so you can modify that

Here a slightly modified version of my previous.
Install the plugin and use the shortcodes as indicated by the author and add the snippet to theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

function bpfr_add_page_to_group() {
	global $bp;		
	if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) )
	
	// allow oly admin's 
	// this works also on single install
	if ( is_super_admin() ) :
	
	if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
	
	class Job_Center_Group_Extension extends BP_Group_Extension {	
	 
	 //building the tab		
		function __construct() {
			$args = array(
            'slug' 		  => 'jobcenter',  // tab slug - mandatory
            'name'        => 'Job Center', // tab name - mandatory  
			//'parent_slug' => 'admin',  
			
			);
			parent::init( $args );
		} // end construct()		
	
	  // content display		
		function display() {   
			
			// grab page or post ID
			$id = 240; 
			$p = get_post($id); 

			// output the post		
		
			echo apply_filters('the_content', $p->post_content);
		}   // end display()
	} // end class	
	
	//display content only in one group (ex. group_ID is 14) 	
    // check for a group ID
	if( bp_has_groups() ) {
		// Grab current group ID
		bp_the_group();
		$group_id = bp_get_group_ID();
	}	
	
    // apply our changes only to this group	
	// conditionnal action
	if ( $group_id == 9 OR $group_id == 13 ) {   
		bp_register_group_extension( 'Job_Center_Group_Extension' );          
	}      
	
	endif;
	endif;
}
add_filter('bp_groups_default_extension', 'bpfr_add_page_to_group' );

If you want to modify one of the plugin templates, make a copy of wp-job-manager/templates/ folder in your child theme and rename it job_manager ( ! no other name).
