Greetings,

I’ve been going around and around trying some things to get this working, perhaps some of you good folks here would be able to help.

-What I need is to conditionally set what component tab is displayed as the default. For example, if a user has filled out a certain profile field, I want to show my plugin-added tab ‘Hello’, otherwise I want to show the Profile tab when they first log-in to the site.
-Clearly, this can’t be achieved by setting the define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’…’) statement.
-I looked in the loading code for the core’s members module and tried to apply a method similar to the one used in the setup_globals there:

if(some_field_set){
$bp->default_component=’my_component’;
}else{
$bp->default_component=’profile’;
}

However, the default_component set this way gets ignored and the site always loads with the ‘Activity’ tab as current component upon login.

Adding the $bp->current_component = $bp->default_component; line does set it to the desired tab, however, no other tab can now be selected as this one becomes an ever-current component.

I would greatly appreciate if someone can venture a good guess on what I’m doing wrong and/or what the correct way to accomplish this is.

Thank you in advance,
Ann.
