Problems with $bp->current_component – Am I doing something wrong?

In writing a custom component for BuddyPress I need to determine whether the user is on any page within the Groups section of the site.

The problem is that $bp->current_component == 'groups' returns true if the user is on the Groups page of a user’s profile too (eg on /members/[username]/groups/ ).

How can I differentiate between the Groups section of the site and a Groups page in a user’s profile?

```
if ($bp->current_component == $bp->groups->slug && $bp->is_single_item){}
```
Is how I detect if the user is in a group page in the member theme. Such as: /groups/cats
```
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->groups->slug && empty( $bp->current_action ) ) {}
```
Is how I detect is the user is in a group directory. The group directory doesn’t have anything after /groups. There’s no ‘action’ to detect.

If you take a look at bp-groups.php groups_setup_nav() you’ll see all the stuff bp sets when a user vists one of their groups.
