BuddyPress.org

I have been trying to get my head around customizing the Profile navigation system. Specifically, I want to move subnav menu items from under one tab, to another tab and have their linking functionaility intact.

Example – I am working with:
bp-activity-loader.php (sub nav: public / personal / friends / groups )
bp-xprofile-loader.php (sub nav: public / edit / change avatar)

basically (or rather, complicatedly? ) I want to remove some links from “bp-xprofile-loader.php” and place them within “bp-activity-loader.php”

As my PHP skills are in the early stages at best (I can hack around a little to solve small problems etc) I have been able to at leat move a submenu from one into the other – but it’s link doesn’t work properly, as it is expecting itself to be inside of one area and not the other.

I understand that the Profile Menu and subMenu system is complicated for a reason – but it seems rather over complicated to simply move subNav menu items around within this space.

Further – I recognize that the “Activity page” poses a whole new issue as its own links are very specifi to the fact that it is all about “Activities” – which means the links I move into there do not work.

Lets say I want to move this (from bp_activity_loader.php):
`// Edit Profile’
` $sub_nav[] = array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Edit’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘edit’,
‘parent_url’ => $profile_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $this->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘xprofile_screen_edit_profile’,
‘position’ => 20
); `

Into bp_xprofile_loader.php

I know there must be more code that needs to be moved over, but every time I think I know what that might be, I break the site.

Any guidance, or links to tutorials or example codes would be really appreciated. I know I should not be working directly in these files, but I cannot find any other way around this to make that Profile navigation system the way I want it to be.

Sincere thanks!
