Ahhh moving it to the top worked.

Thanks Paul

[@tiptap Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Paul, I tried that and still no joy.

I added it to the bottom of wp-config.php and still it jumps to activity.

Is there any reason why this wouldnt work?

Cheers

[@tiptap Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Could I just have multiple slugs pointing to the same component? And where is the members component located?

Thanks

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

no luck with this yet mate. What ever I do seems to add the link to both the userbar and options bar!

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Man this one is still killing me!

the code you have given me works. but it puts the link in all 3 levels (buddybar, userbar & options bar)

After looking in the docs $bp->bp_users_nav seems to do what i want (which apparently works the same as $bp-bp_nav)

However nothing gets returned

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

cheres brajesh. will have a go with those now

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

AHH ok.

It looks like the core function I need to modify is bp_get_displayed_user_nav(); Which is called in the options bar.

Is it possible to modify that function without going into the core component? ie could i just re-write it and place it in bp-custom.php?

Thanks for the help so far

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

OK basically I want to do this;

Add an item to the optionbar for this;

http://example.org/members/XXXXX/

So when I’m viewing someone elses profile I would like to add an item to the options bar which by defualt includes;

Activity

Profile

Blogs

Wire

Friends

Groups

I don’t want to add the new item to the usersbar or the buddy bar

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Cool thanks.

Ok thats not the set of files i need. I’m looking for the template that outputs the optionsbar.

The output is something like;

<div id=”optionsbar”>

<h3>Jebel Ali Golf Resort</h3>

<ul id=”options-nav”>

……

</div>

Hey so I gave up in the end and will continue tonight.

Does anybody know how I can get something to the options bar of the members section with out adding it to the users bar?

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Just to add to this, after further searching I think what I need to do is add only a menu item to the the options bar only.

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Ok so now my next question.

What would I need to do to only make this visible on certain profiles (ie ones where a certain field in xprofile_data is present)?

Currently I have the extra component visible on;

My Account on the buddybar

The Me section

and a users profile menu.

I put an if statement around the part that sets up the nav. but that doesnt work. It just either shows it in all 3 or none at all

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Oh great, that was simple!

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

cool, already looking into that now.

although (correct me if im wrong), that seems to create a standalone component accessed via;

http://example.com/component/

However I was wanting to create one that ties into the users profile…. such as

http://example.com/members/some-member/my-custom-component/

Could you give me some pointers on to how I should get started?

Cheers

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks for the help Jeff.

The reason I posted is due to not finding anything definitive in the search… all results I have found on “deep integration” are either people saying you need it or are they using it….

however one of the results gave me an idea.

What if I keep bbpress as the group forum. but then use simplepress to handle the more traditional forum?

That way im guessing it would be treated as 2 seperate forums – all i would need to do then is share the user data?

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks Jeff.

I’ve followed that link and got stuck a bit.

I have the one-click-install working without a problem.

I then uploaded BBPRESS to a new directory off the root (called it /forum/). browsed to that directory and didnt get taken to an install page….

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I called the function incorrectly

$bp->bp_check_usertype($bp->displayed_user->id);

should have be

bp_check_usertype($bp->displayed_user->id);

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

works a charm

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Ok so I created;

/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php with the below in it;

/**

* bp_check_usertype()

* TEMPLATE TAG

*

*/



function bp_check_usertype($userID) {



global $bp, $wpdb;



$qry = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT value FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 5 AND user_id = " . $userID);



/* Sort the nav by key as the array has been put together in different locations */

echo $qry;



}

However when I call it in /bp-themes/mymember/profile/index.php like so;

$bp->bp_check_usertype($bp->displayed_user->id);

I get the following error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bp_check_usertype() in /html/wp-content/bp-themes/mymember/profile/index.php on line 31

Am I missing something?

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I think I’ve solved it (but havent built it yet). This is what I’m going to do;

-Write a function in bp-custom.php

– Function takes the current ID and passes that to the db returning the usertype (which is a custom profile field)

– Run the function on profile/index.php

– then do a simple switch statement to show the appropriate template

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

ahhhhh you’d don’t know how long I stayed up trying to work out how to get it to work.

adding the global got it working.

Thanks hugely

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Jeff that sounds more logical.

and in fact i was trying to get that to work last night.

why would it be <?php echo $bp->displayed_user->id; ?> added into /profile/index.php doesn’t output the id?

Thanks

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I had similar that needed that recently.

Have you tried

global $wpdb;

$row = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare(“SELECT user_login FROM $wpdb->users WHERE u.ID = %s”, $username) );

print_r($row);

I think you access each individual column like this

$row[“coloumRow”];

see if this helps https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

just a guess but is it get_row you need?

[@tiptap Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I would also like to know this
