One plugin not using the same template as the rest.

Hello everyone. Relatively new to Buddypress, but not new to PHP at all. I have a particular question that has had me baffled for quite some time now.

I’m using Firmasite with BuddyPress + bbPress. The Plugin I’m having issues in particular with is rtMedia.

When I use the profile editor on the frontend, all of the tabs are using members/single/home.php, except rtMedia’s Media tab, which is using page.php for some reason. I have not been able to find the junction point that decides which template file to use for this, or why it’s only behaving this way for one plugin, yet when any other plugin adds tabs to the profiles, it works just fine. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, or if you need any code samples or screenshots to get a better picture, let me know. I really like how far BP has come since I first tried it years ago, kudos to all of the devs.

Thanks in advance.

rtMedia has a templating system where you can override the default templates by copying files to your theme. Also, are you sure itit using page.php? Check it isn’t using plugins.php as many plugins tend to do.

I used what the file to find out what was being used. I’m confused as to why this particular plugin is the only one not using members/single/home.php when the rest do just fine with it.

Here’s a link to the thread on rtCamp with image examples to help illustrate my case.

@mercime thanks! I’ll do that. I just wasn’t sure if there was a uniform way of doing these things or a hook I could implement for that particular url to work around it. I come from a bit of Magento background, they’re pretty strict on how things are done there.

@uabassguy no problem. Nothing wrong asking here. I pointed you to the theme’s forums so that you have a better chance of getting a response for that specific theme to work with a specific plugin 🙂

@uabassguy Did you ever figure out a solution to this?
