hi,

I want to add a new tab menu item to the members directory. We already have “All members”, “My Friends”, now i want to add “Search Members”.

I am able to add the tab menu, and also load a different search form template file when this menu is clicked. Here is how i did it –

1. in theme/members/index.php I added this line

<li id="members-search">
<a href=&quot;"></a>
</li>

Now I got the new menu item to be displayed.

2. for loading the new search form template I edited the ajax.php file. In method bp_dtheme_object_template_loader() I do the loading based on object and scope –

// Sanitize the post object
$object = esc_attr( $_POST );
$object_scope = esc_attr( $_POST );

if($object=="members"&&$object_scope=="search"){
locate_template( array( "$object/search-form.php" ), true );
}else{
// Locate the object template
locate_template( array( "$object/$object-loop.php" ), true );
}

With this change when I click on the “Search” menu item i see the search form loading.

However, my only concern is that when on this tab I do a page refresh, the search form template does not load. Instead the all members loop is displayed.

How can I change this? On page refresh I should see the search form and not the members loop.

thanks.
