BuddyPress.org

Goal: add external link to ‘Edit Profile secondary nav option in User Profile display

Focus: change code in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile.php file

line 207:

bp_core_add_subnav_item( $bp->profile->slug, ‘edit’, __(‘Edit Profile’, ‘buddypress’), $profile_link, ‘xprofile_screen_edit_profile’ );

idea is to make modifications to the ‘xprofile_screen_edit_profile’

on line 256, it has a function to define the actions of xprofile_screen_edit_profile

is it possible to take this and change it from:

function xprofile_screen_edit_profile() {

if ( bp_is_home() ) {

do_action( ‘xprofile_screen_edit_profile’ );

bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘xprofile_template_edit_profile’, ‘profile/edit’ ) );

}

}

to some other kind of action that says something like “href=www.xxxx.xxx/folder/memberprofile.php” ?

In essence, not load the internal template but upon click, send the user to an external page to edit the profile.

Logic: we are implementing SSO and all edit field updates will pass to Buddypress for each profile update. Thus we keep the data in one place.

Thanks for considering this idea.
