Right now I have this function
```
function bp_template_content_sub_function() {
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        //Add shortcode to display content in sub tab
		if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=="/members/lolno1/mystocks/activity/")
		{
		echo do_shortcode('[user-activity]');}
    } else {
        wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => true ) );
    }
}
```
in my functions.php. lolno1 is the username. So if I go to that url, with that username, the correct information displays, however, if I’m logged in as another user, I have to go to that url to get the current users info to display, which of course is incorrect. The url should be /members/[current user]/mystocks/activity/

How do I change the above code to have the current logged in user URI work correctly?

It probably be easier to add the shortcode to whatever template is loaded for this screen:
/members/[current user]/mystocks/activity/

Well this is in functions.php I dont think I can use a shortcode within a function

Ya I cant that doesnt work. Basically just trying to say something like if you are on this url, echo the shortcode. But it only works when I hardcode the url like /members/lolno1/mystocks/activity/ but that doesnt account for if its a different user logged in

thanks for any help!

Fixed it by changing it to this:
```
function bp_template_content_sub_function() {
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        //Add shortcode to display content in sub tab
		if ( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . '/mystocks/activity/' )
		{
		echo do_shortcode('[user-activity]');}
    } else {
        wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => true ) );
    }
}
```
