Default groups view

Hi,

I have tried using define('BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION'); to change the default view on my groups page.

I’ve added that code into a bp-custom.php file, but when I click on ‘Groups’ and try to go to a particular group i get a 404 error.

I have commented that code out, and it works fine. What i dont understand is why it cant find the page, as the link itself doesnt change. It displays the same link regardless. Example

with the code missing the link is : https://domain.com/groups/a-group/

If i add that code in, the link is still https://domain.com/groups/a-group/

but it gives me a 404 error. im not sure why.

Im also using the define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT'); to diplay the forums on the profile page by default seperate issue

Am i missing something?

Many thanks,

Phil

You don’t say how you’re using them.

My usage is:
```
define ( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
define ( 'BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );
```
to change the default view in the user’s profile to ‘profile’ and the group to ‘forum’.

Hi sorry about that.

Im using them as you have them set out in your example there.

BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT works when set to ‘forums’

Its the BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION that doesnt seem to work. And that is also set as ‘Forums’

hope that helps

On my install, ‘forums’ is singular – ie, ‘forum’.

Hi,

In my install the link is ‘forums’.

https://love.golf/forums

Id be inclined to believe id made a spelling mistake, but its spelt the same in both functions and one is working, the other is not.

my bp-custom.php file
```
define('BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION' ,'forums');

define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT' , 'forums');
```
the first one is commented out currently, but if I uncomment it I get a 404. If I comment it out again and refresh the page, it will work.

Its when i try to go to the group forums i get the problem. As stated the default profile view works fine.

As a point, I have tried changing ‘forums’ to ‘forum’ and this had no effect.
