Of coarse, simple. I’m understanding you now, just add another tab right?

Adding the screen function will add the tab next to your profile markup tab: Add to bp-custom.php. You were almost correct on your first approach.

`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’;

}
}`

I would assume it goes in the bp-custom.php file located in your plugins directory. However when i loaded it there I got all types of errors. The code given above is more of a reference then anything else i suppose, as there are a load of misspellings.

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.

I’m trying to keep this conversation within topic here where you originally mentioned it, rather than wild in the activity stream.

I’ve managed to get forums working on a 1and1 shared hosting…

I don’t think any of the wp-config.php or .htaccess or php.ini tricks for increasing memory work for 1and1 shared hosting. Even if wordpress tells you it has more, it will still behave as if it hasn’t…

As ray said, you should disable as many plugins as possible at least till the forums are enabled. I already mentioned what I had done about plugins here

To find out how much memory a plugin or theme is using I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-system-health/.

You appear to be using buddypress social theme – which I haven’t tried but it has lots of options and may use lots of memory. With limited memory it would be better to use a simple child theme of buddypress default and customise it.

Changing the tabs is an appearance issue; it doesn’t have any effect on the activity items shown.

Try the following function in your functions.php or bp-custom.php. The logic is this: If the query string is empty (as it is when you first visit the activity page) and there is nothing in the POST variable that says which scope to show (that is, the user has not clicked ‘All Activity’ and thus set an AJAX request into effect), then show only my group content.

`function bbg_my_groups_activity_default( $qs ) {
if ( empty( $qs ) && empty( $_POST ) ) {
$qs = ‘scope=groups’;
}

return $qs;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘bbg_my_groups_activity_default’, 999 );`

Has anyone figured this one out? I tried putting the code into custom.php and functions.php… but nothing happened. I second the idea above to merge all the personal, friends, groups and mentions into one as well… people are so used to the way fb works, it would be nice to do that for them

Simply put, different loops and template tags for index, category, single pages etc. in WP. Then you have different loops and additional template tags for various components – activity, members, groups etc – in BP.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/

1. If you don’t want the nav bar, you can suppress it with the following line in your wp-config.php file:
`define( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`
or you can manually unhook it with the following lines in your theme’s functions.php:
`remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );
remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );`
No need to hack anything.

2. A vanilla installation of BP, using the default theme, loads one stylesheet: style.css. That stylesheet includes two others: _inc/css/default.css and _inc/css/adminbar.css. There is also a stylesheet for the Dashboard view. If you are using the template pack and are finding too many stylesheets, it’s possible that your WP theme is to blame. In this respect, BP is being fairly austere in the number of CSS files it’s loading. If you want to override things, there’s no reason to “hack” – just put your own overriding styles after the import commands in style.css.

3. This is a great idea, I think. Perhaps you could file a formal enhancement request at trac.buddypress.org (same username/pw as this site)

4. The way that the default theme handles profile, activity, friends etc separately, provides a large amount of straightforward customization in child themes. If bp-default had them consolidated, child theme authors would have to rebuild the pages to make them separate. We are erring on the side of enhanceability. You are welcome to build a child theme that incorporates these parts of the profile into a single page – I bet a fair number of people would be interested in such a thing.

Does this occur on the default theme? After you’ve disabled all plugins? Or have you customised your activity loop in some way? (looks like the activity stream item permalink/single page template)

@thealchemist @zkwc @djpaul

Hurray!

The code snippet works just fine in functions.php. That’s good news for a theme designer: no worries about a theme overriding a user’s custom configurations in bp-custom.php.
Now I’m off to add “Group Landing Page” as an option in my new theme. It’ll be incorporated with the theme’s “Alternate Header” option too.

Then I’ve got to adapt the code to work with member profiles. My initial attempts have failed, but I’ve been known to be persistent at times

For future reference, here’s the code snippet to add to functions.php or, if you have created it, bp-custom.php.
You can see it in action here: http://rspacesandbox.org/ Click any group.

`function redirect_groups_to_forum() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );
$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );
if ( bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav ) === false )
bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav . ‘/’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_groups_to_forum’ );`

Create a new WP page with the verbiage you want to add.

You might want to create your new page with a custom page template:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Then set this new page as your frontpage:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel

cool, let me know how it goes. im doing something similar, instead of the basic activity page, i want a custom page to show, and i give the user the option to navigate to their activity

cannot found bp-custom.php and there is a “favorite” when clicked it change to “remove favorite”, link show
http://xxx.com/activity/favorite/3/?_wpnonce=d6f0625717 but it did not save, when page refreshed it change back to “favorite” state.
any help, thanks in advance

Are you talking about the Home, About, Blog, Community, Extend, and Support tabs on buddypress.org? Those are WP Pages. In BP 1.3, there will be better support for having a setup like this that is totally customizable, but even now bp-default does something almost exactly like this.

The way that individual user navigation (profile, activity, groups, etc) is laid out on this site is just like it is in bp-default.

Or am I missing something?

Hi,
The reason it is happening perhaps hide_sitewide is not set to 1 for private activity. Most probably a conflict with some plugin as you already mention above. Can you check the database activity table to confirm that ?

Have you put the code
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
In wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, It will make the profile accessible if put in bp-custom.php. yes,it simply change the default profile component(landing page on profile) from activity to xprofile.

I’m not sure which way is better, seems lots of people have done great jobs.
Here’s a tip I took as guiding to start my bp customizing journey : http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

After registered the widgets and created the new page template, style the widget area. Create Pages you need to use for bp compoents (activity, groups, members, …) ,choose the new page template.
Use Custom Field Template plug in or other means to write contents and bp loops in the widget areas. Custom Field Template says its php code is experimental, but my blog doesn’t have problem with it.

Another way I want to try but not tried yet– copy bp componets pages and add widget in it. Not sure if this can be done or not.

Custom permalink structure shouldn’t matter, but have you tried resaving the permalink settings?
Also try disabling any plugins that might interfere with this. Including redirect and caching plugins.

As a last resort, you can always create a page template copying exactly what is in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php and setting that as the front page…

I tried this method with Buddypress links, I want to make them my front page.

I got the links to show up on a custom page but the formatting is all screwed up and the share button seems to be broken. I think it is not loading the css file for the links or the added javascripts. How would I go about updating it so that it works properly?

This is what my custom template page looked like. I had to copy over the bp-links-default directory over to my-buddypress theme.

`

Here is the actual page http://www.playbookit.com/frontpage

Anyone know how to fix this? I’ve been at it for a few days.
