Merci @imath !

The old way

The following syntax to change the tab order is deprecated since 2.6 and will throw an error notice:

function rt_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 20;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'rt_change_profile_tab_order', 999 );

The new way

Now the correct syntax to use for modifying – since 2.6 – the tabs position on the buddybar when you’re on a profile.

This example list all BP related items who appear by default on a profile nav, in order of appearance and include also the forum tab (if you use bbPress for group forums).
By default, activity tab comes as 1st. The snippet will move it to 4th position.

To modify a position you simply change the numeric value.
If you want to move only one item, you remove or comment (add // at begin of the line) the ones you don’t want to move.

function bpex_primary_nav_tabs_position() {
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 4,	), 'activity' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 5, 	), 'profile' 		); 
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 7, 	), 'notifications'	); 
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 9,	), 'messages' 	  	);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 2,	), 'friends' 	  	);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 6,	), 'groups' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 3, 	), 'forums' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 1, 	), 'settings' 		);
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_primary_nav_tabs_position', 999 );

That’s it for the buddybar nav menu order on profile.

Give this a try: (add to bp-custom.php) 1) & 2):

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'messages', 'compose' );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

3) With BP and xprofile component activated, a user doesn’t need access to WP dashboard. He can change his profile credentials from front-end.
Easiest way would be to use this plugin.

Retrieving them the possibility to change their email is anyway not a good idea. What happen when a user changed from yahoo to gmail, but can’t login because he lost his password ? Where will the new pwd be sent ?

Perhaps you have also to remove this from the BP usermenu on toolbar ?
Here’s how you can do it:

function admin_bar_remove_this(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-messages-compose');
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','admin_bar_remove_this');

Hi @famous,

anything directly related to URL for bp is listed here:
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=l&search=url

In most case, you can built a link by array, which generally extend pre existing parameters. It’s very variable and depend where and how the link shoud work.

Here some exemple snippets to add a link to a member’s profile.

/* add external link on buddy menu bar */
function bpfr_menubar_link() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

$link = bp_get_loggedin_user_link();

	$bp->bp_nav[$slug] = array(
			'name'                    => 'View my profile',
			'slug'                    => 'super_link',
			'link'                    => $link,
			'css_id'                  => 'super-link',	
			'position'                => 20
		);
}
add_action( 'bp_core_new_nav_item', 'bpfr_menubar_link', 999 );

/* link to profile on SWA page */
function goto_my_profile_tab() {
  if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

  if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

    echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';
  
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // SWA page
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // members directory page

/* shortcode linking to profile [xyz] */
function bpfr_link_to_profile() {	
return '<a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';			
}
add_shortcode( 'xyz', 'bpfr_link_to_profile' );

Another technique for groups here.

In hope this will help you to go further.

@seore, please search a bit before asking ! For example “add profile tab to nav bar”
https://buddypress.org/support/search/add+profile+tab+to+nav+bar/

BP use slgihtly same technique as WordPress to build menus.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu

function bpfr_remove_change_avatar_tab() {
global $bp;
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'change-avatar' );

}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_remove_change_avatar_tab', 15 );

BuddyBar items

Source: bp-core-buddybar.php
function bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $parent_id, $slug )
and to remove a nav item
function bp_core_remove_nav_item( $parent_id )

This is for the admin bar:

function custom_adminbar_titles() {
    global $wp_admin_bar;

        $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
                'id'    => 'my-account-groups-memberships',
                'title' => 'new title here',
            )

        );
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_adminbar_titles' );

This is for profile menu:

function change_profile_submenu_tabs(){
	global $bp;

	$bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['my-groups']['name'] = 'new name here';
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'change_profile_submenu_tabs', 999);

@durkk,

IMHO you do it overcomplicated.

Create a new page; call it “extra”
Create eventually a template for it. Basically, you made a copy of your theme “page.php”, you rename it “my-extra_page.php” and in the file header, you remove the original page comment and replace it with the new template comment.

/*
* Template name: my extra page
*/

Save !

Back to the page “extra” > edit and asign it the new template.

Now you can add a this page to each profile by using the abose snippet from the child-theme functions.php

function bpfr_my_setup_nav() {
    global $bp;
	
	$mytab=array(
	'name'            => 'My Tab',
	'link'      	  => 'permalink_to_your_page', // the one under the page title on page editor
	'slug'         	  => 'my-tab',
	'css_id'          => 'my_custom_tab',
	'position'        => 100,
	'user_has_access' => 1,
    'screen_function' => 'xprofile_screen_my_tab'
	);
	$bp->bp_options_nav['profile']['my-tab'] = $mytab; 	
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_my_setup_nav');

You can now add into this page template any code you want. To call a plugin, a specific content or what else.

To avoid this page to be shown in the menu bar, you can use this old plugin (it still works with 4.0)

To use a shortcode from within the text widget (this is not possible by default)
you can add this to your child-theme functions.php add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode', 11);
Now you can use a shortcode in this widget !

@jejemo

try by adding this at the begin of your function
$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();

If you’re working on the Toolbar, the correct way to add a menu is like on this example:

/* add links/menus to the admin bar*/
/* more details here: http://wpengineer.com/2113/add-menus-to-the-admin-bar-of-wordpress/ */

function mytheme_admin_bar_render() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
		'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
		'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
		'title' => __('Media'), // link title
		'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
		'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
		)
	);
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'mytheme_admin_bar_render' ); 

A similar method is used to add a tab. Here on a user profile.

function bpfr_my_setup_nav() {
    global $bp;
	
	$mytab=array(
	'name'            => 'My Tab',
	'link'      	  => 'http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/my_extra_page.php',
	'slug'         	  => 'my-tab',
	'css_id'          => 'my_custom_tab',
	'position'        => 100,
	'user_has_access' => 1,
    'screen_function' => 'xprofile_screen_my_tab'
	);
	$bp->bp_options_nav['profile']['my-tab']=$mytab; 	
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_my_setup_nav');

For renaming things, the recommended practice is to use a language file:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

If you make a lot of changes, you should use that approach.

The ‘counting bubble’ is filled using sprintf.
You’re missing that call from your change.
You could try
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['name']='Mails <span>%d</span>';
But I’d be surprised if it works.

Here’s another method, that you can paste in your functions.php:

function sundev_change_buddypress_profile_tabs( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  {
        return $translated; 
    }

    switch ( $original_text ) {
    
        case 'Messages <span>%d</span>':
            return 'Mails <span>%d</span>';

        case 'Messages':
            return 'Mails';
            			
        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'sundev_change_buddypress_profile_tabs', 10, 3 );

Untested, but that should change the label in both a profile and the buddy-bar.

@fpats
To comment out that block of code in your function just add /* after the opening php tag and before your function. After the last } then add */ before the closing php tag.
Note comments basically prevents php from reading the function.
Here is your function commented:

<?php
/* //Begin comment
function redirect_group_home() {
  global $bp;
  $path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
  $path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
  if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['home']['slug'] ) === false ) {
    
    echo "HERE WE GO...";
    echo "<PRE>"; print_r($bp->groups->current_group); echo "</PRE>";
    echo $bp->groups->current_group->status;
    echo $bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member;
    
    if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public') {
      echo "<PRE>"; print_r($bp->bp_options_nav); echo "</pre>";
      exit();
      if ($bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['announcements']['slug']) {
        bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['announcements']['slug'] . '/' );
      } else {
        bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['forum']['slug'] . '/' );
      }
      bp_core_redirect( $path . 'welcome/' ); //quick hack for some other tab
    }
  }
}
*/ //END COMMENT

?>

Ok so I managed to find a backwards way of doing it because I needed to be able to do the same thing. Your going to need two plugins.

1. Your Preferred Role Management Plugin. I like Capacity Manager Enhanced
2. Buddypress xProfiles ACL

STEPS
1. Use your role manager to create some new roles. Name them what ever you want.
2. Go into the Users -> Profile Fields
3. Create a Field Group for your Restricted Items (not the primary one).
4. Go to the Settings -> xProfile ACL
5. Put your Field Group that you only want the Admin to be able to edit for the admin only.
6. Now this is important you need to modify the xProfile ACL php file (yes I know this makes it a hack, if xProfile ACL is updated you will lose this setting.)
6a. Go to line 240 of the buddypress-xprofiles-acl.php file. Comment out lines 240 – 249, the code you are commenting out is:

`
function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {
global $bp, $profile_template, $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
foreach($profile_template->groups as $key => $profile_group) {
if( ! in_array($profile_group->id, $this->user_allowed_xprofile_groups) ) {
unset($profile_template->groups[$key]);
}
}
}
`

6b. Below the code you just commented out add:
` function filter_xprofile_groups_with_acl() {}`

7. Save your changes to the buddypress-xprofiles-acl.php file.

8. Now when ever you need to modify the fields log in with your admin account navigate to the user profile in buddy press and select Edit Member Profile from the tool bar. You will see the fields from the private group. Users will see the fields but when they select edit they will not be displayed.

Hope this helps.

hi @diondeville,

to change the profile menu (on the top right of the ToolBar)
<code>
function my_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav[‘activity’][‘position’] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 60;
$bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 70;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );</code>

Take care with quotes when copy/pasting from here ! 😉

Are you using a custom theme? Do you have a menu created in the admin and placed in the primary slot?

Btw you can always get old versions of plugins by going to WordPress.org and on the plugins page there is a developer tab with links

Go into the plugin file and edit term “profile”. Then remove the members tab linking to the member directory in the wordpress admin

Fixed plugin is live.

That error is due to the missing $bp global.

>So I’m trying to add a new navigation under the “my profile” tab

Do you mean in the admin bar at the top?
Or on profile pages under ‘Profile’ in the ‘Activity Profile Messages’ etc nav ?

if it’s the latter, you want to a subnav item, not a nav item.
Try this (which assumes you don’t know about the other functions needed) :

`

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘add_feedback_subnav_tab’, 100 );
function add_feedback_subnav_tab() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => ‘Feedback’,
‘slug’ => ‘feedback’,
‘parent_url’ => trailingslashit( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . ‘profile’ ),
‘parent_slug’ => ‘profile’,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile_screen_feedback’,
‘position’ => 50
)
);
}

// show feedback when ‘Feedback’ tab is clicked
function profile_screen_feedback() {
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘profile_screen_feedback_show’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
}

function profile_screen_feedback_show() {
echo “Feedback Screen”;

// call your feedback template
//locate_template( array( ‘feedback-profile.php’ ), true );

}

`

I was looking EVERYWHERE for the same thing and nobody would answer my questions. I finally found out how to accomplish adding a tab to the nav bar.

Paste this code into your bp-custom.php file located in your “plugin” directory:

function my_test_setup_nav() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘test’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘test’, ‘parent_url’ => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->slug . ‘/’, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen’, ‘position’ => 40 ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Home’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘test_sub’, ‘parent_url’ => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->slug . ‘/’, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->slug, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘test_activity’ ) );

function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen() {

//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
}
function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_title() {
echo ‘something’;
}
function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen_content() {

echo ‘weee content’;

}
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_test_setup_nav’ );

This will add a button into the nav bar named “test” which redirects back to the profile page. It would only take a bit more tweaking to get it to display the page you want. Hope this helps.

@lumosnorge

Hej Christine – the code is in the default theme, in the file: bp-default/members/single/home.php

Did you create a child theme, or edit your changes directly over the default theme?

Note: you shouldn’t edit the default theme directly – as you will run into problems when you upgrade BuddyPress.

Have a search in Docs on here for details of creating a child theme.

Anyway, the section of code (from the default theme) that creates the nav bar is:
`

`

It goes between the item-header and item-body blocks.

You need Harry and Hermione helping you write the code!
