BuddyPress.org

Hi Guys,

I am running into a little problem with adding a new tab to the profile page. My new page does not inherit any of the navigational menu for profile page or the user image.

Here is what I have added to functions.php of the theme I am using:

/*Add BuddyPress Menu tab*/
function my_setup_nav() {
      global $bp;

      bp_core_new_nav_item( array( 
            'name' => __( 'My Favorite Books', 'buddypress' ), 
            'slug' => 'MyFavoriteBooks', 
            'position' => 11,
            'screen_function' => 'Favorite_Books_template'
      ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_setup_nav' );
function Favorite_Books_template() {
    bp_core_load_template( 'FavoriteBooksTemp' );
} 

I have created FavoriteBooksTemp.php and added it to the root folder of the theme I am using.

Although this works, when I click on the new tab, the page that comes up does not inherit the user image and other tabs.

Here is a demo to show you what I mean…

Here is the link to an example profile on my site: http://oldreading.org/members/test1234/

When you click on “My Favorite Books”, you see the “This works!” message so I know that it is loading FavoriteBooksTemp.php correctly.

However, as you can see from that page…
http://oldreading.org/members/test1234/MyFavoriteBooks/
it does not retain the user image, and menu like main profile page does.

If anyone could help me figure out how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. I have searched a lot online, but can’t figure out how to eliminate this problem.

Is there any way to get the new tab to include the profile menu if I am putting the code in functions.php of my theme?
