Editing the Blogs/Groups/Members/Forum pages?

How does one go about adding the different pages? I would like to add some custom content, but when I open bp-blogs.php bp-groups.php etc, I don’t see any place to ad the content I would like to.

I’m looking to ad custom content under the right column that random users, blogs, etc show up.

I’m running BP 1.1.3

add_action() is your friend.

No need to edit the templates directly.

For example, to add custom content after the random blogs:

Add this to /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
```
function my_custom_content_after_random_blogs() {

echo 'MY CONTENT AFTER RANDOM BLOGS';

}

add_action('bp_after_directory_blogs_featured', 'my_custom_content_after_random_blogs');
```
How do you find these actions? Look for do_action() code in your /wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/directories/COMPONENT/index.php.

So HTML and script objects will work fine with this method? Also, I don’t see how this will specify it to be underneath the random blogs listed on the blog directory in the right column.

I’ll give it a go, but I want to understand what I’m doing .

EDIT: Thank you for the directory structure for the components, if I can’t figure out your bp-custom method, I’ll be able to do it directly.

This is the magic:

add_action('bp_after_directory_blogs_featured', 'my_custom_content_after_random_blogs');

This tells the “bp_after_directory_blogs_featured” do_action part of code in /wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/directories/blogs/index.php to plug in your custom code.
