BuddyPress 101: bp-test, Building Block For BP Component
-
I would like to throw this here before I throw this on my blog, make sure someone else can duplicate this working. I didn’t put this into plugins because this actually doesn’t *DO* anything.

bp-test – building block for BuddyPress components

WHAT THIS IS:
Basically this should be the minimum required to give you the ability to add a new menu item, with two sub pages, to an already-working BuddyPress install with the beta components. This is meant for you to LEARN and possibly use as a starting building block for your BuddyPress components.
LEGAL CRAP:
Use At Your OWn Risk. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t work, although i’m open to making this the best way to start off building for BuddyPress (hey, that’s a great title for a book – it’s mine! copyrighting right now!).
HOW-TO:
You should be able to tell this Basically drop the mu-plugins right into the folder. You don’t even technically need the bp-test folder – the bp-test.php file in the mu-plugins is enough, but not useful for learning purposes. Don’t forget the member-themes files.
SUPPORT:
Post on my blog (davidbisset.com) or BuddyPress forums so that all can share.

David,
“…minimum required to give you the ability to add a new menu item…”
You talking about adding a new menu item to the buddybar ™
or to the user/options bar in the member theme?
@dimensionmedia, i’m working for aggregator, here a picture: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/6578/aggregatorlg7.jpg
i think tomorrow i will release basic code
I’m sorry. So, i think that you don’t need add files in /member-theme/ because you can write your plugin without adding files in /member-theme/ for example you can write:
function test_page_settings() {
global $current_user, $bp_settings_updated, $pass_error;
add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'test_page_title' );
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'test_page_content' );
add_action( 'bp_template_content_header', 'test_page_tabs' );
bp_catch_uri('plugin-template');
}
function test_page_title() {
_e( 'Hello title', 'buddypress' );
}
function test_page_content() {
global $bp, $current_user, $bp_settings_updated, $pass_error; ?>
<p>Hello Content</p>
<?php
function test_page_tabs() {
global $bp, $create_group_step, $completed_to_step;
?>
<ul class="content-header-nav">
<li>Hello Tabs</li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>With that you don’t need to add page in /member-theme/. I think that users that install a plugins want only add files on mu-plugins/.
Think if i’ve another member-theme that isn’t like the default, and i would like add this plugin..
I hope i explain well now
UPDATED, i wrote an example plugin that works without adding files in member-theme
You can find a small post here http://buddypressdev.org/forums/topic.php?id=7
That explain a bit about this example extending component that i called bpdev-example
I forgot, here you can download bpdev-example : http://buddypressdev.org/plugins/bpdev-example
