BuddyPress.org

Hey Buddies, first off the obligatory I’m totally new to this stuff, php makes sense but I haven’t the faintest grasp of the language or the logic. I got asked to build a community page for a smallish company and I’ll hopefully get a position more fitting my background if I do a decent job.

Running:
Current version of WordPress/BuddyPress
The BuddyBoss Boss. Theme
gVectors wpForo

Basically what I’m trying to do is create a link in the BuddyPress Profile page tabs that directs to the wpForo forum profile, to better integrate the 2 profiles. I managed to create the tab by bogarting some code from some other support page, however the link is dictated by a slug and if I remove the slug the whole tab disappears. The code is located in a mu-plugin and this is what it looks like:

function add_communityprofile_tab() {
	global $bp;
	
	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
		'name'                  => 'Community',
		'slug'                  => 'communityprofile',
		'parent_url'            => $bp->displayed_user->domain,
		'parent_slug'           => $bp->profile->slug,
		'screen_function'       => 'communityprofile_screen',			
		'position'              => 200,
		'default_subnav_slug'   => 'communityprofile'
	) );

}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_communityprofile_tab', 100 );

The url of the profile pages is

http://localhost/wordpress/users/*username*/profile/

The tab naturally links to

http://localhost/wordpress/users/admin/communityprofile/

what I am trying to link to is

http://localhost/wordpress/community/profile/<displayed_user>/

at least I’m pretty sure displayed_user would get the job done.

I looked into exploding and parsing the URL but that seemed more trouble than it was worth. I’ve spent quite a bit of time stubbornly trying to figure this out hahaha. But I think this is something that anyone with a decent knowledge of what they are doing could solve quickly, I’d really appreciate it if someone could give me a hand.
