[Resolved] BP Globals not setting up correctly in Custom Component

I am developing a custom BP component but have been unable to get the global variables right. I am developing over the skeleton component and following the groups component. It is really hard to explain everything, but I have zeroed in on following :

Unfortunately the component is unable to assign variables like : $bp->current_component, $bp->is_single_item

just like groups component I want to identify single group (single XXX) and all groups (all XXX) page. All XXX is working but when I click on single item it shows up in the all XXX template which is XXX -> index.php

Can anyone shed some light here, what I may be doing incorrectly here…

More…

I found that the function responsible for setting up globals is bp_core_set_uri_globals, the strange thing is that it defines globals based on the URI values.

The url of my custom component is like

abc.com/component/single-slug

But still BP is unable assign global variables correctly…

How can I force BP to setup the global vars..

Never mind, I found an alternate route.. A custom function which takes the url and assigns values to the global variables. Hook it to bp_setup_global action.
