How to hide the friends tab from other users while displaying it to owner and admin only

    Hi,
    I want to hide the “Friends” tab on the users profile page to all other users except for admin and owner of the profile only. I want this to work the way Messages and Settings tabs work => If another user types
    `http: // [site] / [username] / messages`
    BP shows an error message saying the user does not have access to the page.

    If I use (with !bp_is_my_profile()),
    `bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘friends’)`
    it just shows a 404 type page for the `http: // [site] / [username] / friends`.

    I tried
    `$bp->bp_nav = false;`
    but that doesn’t prevent the user from seeing the friends by going to `http: // [site] / [username] / friends`

    I prevent the user from seeing the friends list by editing the members/home.php file. But, I’d like to use the same mechanism that settings and messages pages use.
    I looked at messages/single.php, but didn’t see anything that could be taking care of this logic.

    Can anybody help please?

    Just read you don’t want to edit home.php. There isn’t a filter for privacy like there is with messages for showing profile sections. Messages and xprofile fields has logic for output and can be filtered but the actual page needs a code edit.

    Thanks for your reply. I don’t mind editing home.php because I’m doing it in my theme file. I’ve figured out a way to prevent the friends tab to other users. Just trying to figure out the way it’s done for messages, so that I’m not reinventing anything.

    Hi!

    Can you kindly share how did you actually do this? I need the same for my site.

    1. How did you prevent the friends tab to other users?
    2. Have you figured out the way for messages?

    regards
