I’ve started reading threads about the BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT & define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ ); which I get and it works but I was wondering if anyone knows of a plugin or of a way to add a check to see if the member is a friend or follower.

I’m thinking of doing something like;

if the user is a friend
show Activity as default tab
if not
show Profile as default tab

the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a privacy plugin but I haven’t seen anything like that as a feature of current privacy plugins.
I guess this is similar to FB behavior when looking at profile pages. I guess the privacy element would require to hide all but profile tab if not a friend and I don’t know that I need that right now. just switching between tabs I think is enough for what I’m thinking.

Put this code in bp-custom.php

`

add_action(“bp_setup_globals”,”my_default_tab”,;

function my_default_tab(){
global $bp;
global $displayed_user_id;

$current_user_id=get_current_user_id();
if(!$displayed_user_id)
return;//if it is not profile return

//a fix for table name before querying friendship
$bp->friends->table_name = bp_core_get_table_prefix() . ‘bp_friends’;//a fix for friend check, because the table names are initialized too late

if(friends_check_friendship( $current_user_id, $displayed_user_id ))
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG);
else
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,BP_XPROFILE_SLUG);
}

`
That should do it.

@sbrajesh Now…that! is awesome.

@sbrajesh
to account for your own profile? would it be good to do this to this line:

`if(friends_check_friendship( $current_user_id, $displayed_user_id ) || bp_is_my_profile())`

[Brajesh Singh]

No, That should not work. Reason, the $bp->displayed_user object is not initialized at the moment we are making changes.
Instead check $displayed_user_id==$current_user_id

bp_is_my_profile seemed to work but I’ll take your advice for sure. thanks!
