for some reason, your suggested solution doesn’t work. I suppose it has to do with the hook, but using bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’) doesn’t work at ‘bp_setup_nav’, while it does work at the point @mariochampion suggested.
Here’s a problem, though, in my installation, when I remove the nav link, I am no longer able to access group pages. I can access the group directory and groups will be displayed there, but clicking on a group will take me to the front page. Is this a bug? It seems like it, since the function is supposed to only remove the navigation item, not access to the feature, am I right? Or am I not getting something? Is there a better way to remove the navigation item?
Hmm. Is this the intended effect? I removed the “groups” element from the navigation bar on the profile using the bp_core_remove_nav_item-function, but after doing that I was no longer able to access any group and after directly entering the group’s URL I will be redirected to the homepage. Is there any way to remove items from the *navigation* but keep them available for direct access? Bizarrely, I am able to display the groups directory page when the bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’)-function is active, but not individual group homepages. Clicking on a group name will take me to the homepage.
using bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘blogs’ ) at bp_setup_nav didn’t work for me. But putting it in mariochampions function right after “global $bp” did – any idea why?
sorry, but I’m new to BP, and I can’t find the xprofile-settings.php you’re referring to above – could you give me a hand? Could you also indicate where you changed the slugs in the copied file?
I found the function used to add something to the activity stream (http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/tutorial-help-on-adding-post_type-to-activity-stream), but I still haven’t found anything with respect to removing things from the activity, or completely turning the display of activity on the member screen off while retaining it in the groups. Is this something that would have to be done by redirects?
That works for me with a couple of isssues. The first user to log in via fbconnect is assigned the name “@facebookuser”, later signups seem to use the fb name for the @mention id, but their displayed name can be changed in the BP profile. The fb profile picture is skewed in the activity feed (twice as long as high).
