Howdy,
I’m trying to work sub-menus into my theme but am running into issues when navigating to BuddyPress pages (as opposed to standard WP pages, posts, etc.). Basically, what I want to do is have pages (where appropriate) display a sub menu, ala:

http://skitch.com/zamoose/d12ns/about-us-delta-sigma-theta-sorority-inc-south-jersey-alumnae-chapter

But when I navigate to pages that exist under BuddyPress’ control, I get the following:

http://skitch.com/zamoose/d12nu/delta-sigma-theta-sorority-inc-south-jersey-alumnae-chapter

I’m using the following to generate the sub-menu:

if (is_page()) {
global $wp_query;

if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
}

$title = get_the_title($parent);

if(wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=$parent&echo=0” )) { ?>
<ul id=”subnav”>
<?php
wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=$parent&echo=1” );
?>
</ul>
<?php
}
}

Where am I going astray?

The following alteration of my code seems to work in the cases that I’ve tested thus far:

if ( is_page() && ( $bp->current_component == ” ) ) {

I’m unsure as to whether this is an empty string or a null value for all instances, so I don’t think an is_null() call would be appropriate.

If anyone knows of a BP-approved method for this, though, I’d be all ears.

if ( bp_is_page( ) :

No, that doesn’t work, bp_is_page() requires an argument in order to function.

[@rogercoathup Participant 14 years, 4 months ago]

@zamoose – you can use the function: bp_current_component() that returns a boolean

To detect specific pages, you can use bp_is_page() as @modemlooper points out. Use it like this:

bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG )

Other functions (look in bp-core-templatetags.php) include:

bp_is_activity_front_page()
bp_is_activity_component()
bp_is_directory()
bp_is_home()
…
etc.

there are lots of them

To detect if you’re on a WP page use:
if ( bp_is_blog_page() )

Vice versa, to detect if you’re on a BuddyPress page, use:
if ( !bp_is_blog_page() )

There are some things like the activity front page that you’ll need to add to your conditional, but that’s to get you started.

All conditionals can be found in /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php and on this codex page (might need updating):

Awesome! Works like a charm.
