Add friend button everywhere

Hello

I installed a plugin for buddypress to have more privacy for each member’s profile. This way if a non login or a non friend user try to visit a profile, he will be redirect to a specific page telling him to be login or to become friend with this user.

The problem with this situation is that the non friend user will never be able to see the “add to friend button” on the private profile (due to the redirection)

My solution is to put the “add to friend button” into user’s posts directly. Is it possible to add this button outside the buddypress template? meaning everywhere?

Thank you

I tried to apply this inside the single.php file

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_add_friend_button’ ) ) : ?>
<?php bp_add_friend_button() ?>
<?php endif; ?>

But nothing appears. I tried many code without luck

If someone can help me? Thank you

Here a button example on blog page which let you add a post author as friend.
```
function bpfr_add_friend_button() {
// fetch post author id
$user_id = get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
// calling the button
$mybutton = bp_add_friend_button( $user_id ); 

// condition
	if ( ( is_user_logged_in() && is_page( 'blog' ) ) ){
		echo $mybutton;
	}
} 

// create the new action hook
add_action( 'custom_zone', 'bpfr_add_friend_button' );
```
Add this code to your child-theme functions.php, or to bp-custom.php

And here the hook to add to template (child-theme) at the appropriate place.
<?php do_action( 'custom_zone' ); ?> to template (generally single.php of your theme)
