hi @deshmukh,
add this to bp-custom.php
function bpfr_custom_profile_sub_nav() {
global $bp;
$parent_slug = 'activity';
//Add subnav item
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
'name' => __( 'Go to Site Activity' ),
'slug' => $parent_slug,
'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/',
'parent_slug' => $parent_slug,
'screen_function' => 'bp_activity_screen_my_activity',
'position' => 60,
'link' => bp_get_activity_directory_permalink(),
) );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_custom_profile_sub_nav' );

This works great. Thanks.
I could also change
'link' => bp_get_activity_directory_permalink(),
to
'link' => 'http://google.com',
and it worked as expected.
I also tried my hand at bp_core_new_nav_item ('<li>https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/</li>')
But I am unable to add an arbitrary link to nav item. If I add a link declaration as in the case of sub nav. it gives out an error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''link'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ')' in /.../wp-content/themes/nu-white-child/functions.php on line 35
Probably because the function does not expect a ‘link’ parameter.
How do I add an arbitrary link to the nav item?
bp_core_new_nav_item doesn’t accept link or href parameters.
And the slug use /bp_loggedin_user_domain/$slug/ so you can’t add directly an arbitrary link with this parameter.
bp_core_new_nav_item and bp_core_new_subnav_item are respectively the buddy menu and the sub-menu, with each his own parameters. Same technique, but slightly different.
But you can hook into the function to modify the slug array, like this:
function bpfr_menubar_link() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav[$slug] = array(
'name' => 'My super link',
'slug' => 'super_link',
'link' => 'https://buddypress.org',
'css_id' => 'super-link',
'position' => 20
);
}
add_action( 'bp_core_new_nav_item', 'bpfr_menubar_link', 999 );
Be aware that this nav menu is always user dependant, meaning that you will only see that link when you’re on your profile page. It won’t show when you’re on another members profile or not logged in. 😉
