Display new tabs in selected groups only (group extension API)

    Hi,

    I have created a tab in groups that redirects to members directory, using this code in function.php:

    if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
	class members_nav_tab_in_group extends BP_Group_Extension {
			function __construct() {
				$args = array(
					'slug' => '../../members',
					'name' => 'Members directory',
					'nav_item_position' => 105,
					);
				parent::init( $args );
			}
		}
	
		bp_register_group_extension( 'members_nav_tab_in_group' );
		
	endif;

    It works well, but I now need this tab to appear only in 1 group and not all.

    The access or show_tab arguments don’t seem to serve my objective, so I have tried to restrict my code by adding:

    global $bp;
$group_id = $bp->groups->current_group->id;
if ( $group_id == '2' ) :

    But then the tab disappears in all groups.
    Any idea how to display this tab only in selected groups?

    May not be the best way, but try:

    function add_group_tab() {

	if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
	
		class members_nav_tab_in_group extends BP_Group_Extension {
			
			function __construct() {
			
				if( bp_is_group_single() ) {
					
					$bp = buddypress();
					
					$group_id = $bp->groups->current_group->id;
					
					if( $group_id == 1 ) {
					
						$args = array(
						'slug'              => '../../members',
						'name'              => 'Members Directory',
						'nav_item_position' => 105,
						);
						
						parent::init( $args );
					}
				}
			}
		}
	
	bp_register_group_extension( 'members_nav_tab_in_group' );
	
	endif;

}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'add_group_tab' );

    Thanks @shanebp.
    It only works if I remove the function triggered at bp_loaded, as follows:

    	if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :
		class members_nav_tab_in_group extends BP_Group_Extension {
			function __construct() {
				if( bp_is_group_single() ) {
					$bp = buddypress();
					$group_id = $bp->groups->current_group->id;
					if( $group_id == '1' ) {
						$args = array(
						'slug'              => '../../members',
						'name'              => 'Members Directory',
						'nav_item_position' => 105,
						);
						parent::init( $args );
					}
				}
			}
		}
	bp_register_group_extension( 'members_nav_tab_in_group' );
	endif;

    What is the rationale/advantage for adding this function add_group_tab()?

    I didn’t know where you were loading the code.
    Using the bp_loaded hook allows you to run it from bp-custom.php.

    From function.php

    Thanks again @shanebp

    If I were to create 2 or more tabs, what would be the best way to achieve this?
    I’ve been playing with the above code for some time without much success…
