Well,

I tried remove_action on the function I found that I want to customize, but it doesn’t work apparently because bp-custom.php is being loaded before bp-friends. I tried this in my theme’s functions.php as well, but it still does not work. What am I doing wrong?

/***
* Create custom functions for buddypress so updates do not override customizations
*/

function my_friends_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

/* Add ‘Friends’ to the main navigation */
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Friends (%d)2222′, ‘buddypress’ ), friends_get_total_friend_count() ), ‘slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘position’ => 60, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘item_css_id’ => $bp->friends->id ) );

$friends_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->friends->slug . ‘/’;

/* Add the subnav items to the friends nav item */
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘friends-my-friends’ ) );
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Requests’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘requests’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_requests’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->friends->slug ) {
if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$bp->bp_options_title = __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ );
} else {
$bp->bp_options_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) );
$bp->bp_options_title = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;
}
}

do_action( ‘my_friends_setup_nav’);
}
remove_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘friends_setup_nav’);
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_friends_setup_nav’);

Thanks for having a look Jeff, however it didn’t help. I simply want to edit some HTML that is generated in a tab and it’s a total nightmare. Besides the fact that I wish this was generated in a template since it generates HTML, I just cannot seem to override this function: friends_setup_nav() located in bp-friends.php (line 87).

Since that function adds it’s own action do_action( ‘friends_setup_nav’); I’m assuming I can remove it and add my own in it’s place but it doesn’t work.

Even if I do install that plugin and find when it is fired, how does that help me? Does it just change how or where I call remove_action?

Should I be trying to hook into something else?

Hey Jeff,

Yeah I had tried that already (tried 99 etc…) and nothing seems to work. Thanks for trying though, really do appreciate the time.

I decided to take another route and override the $bp global in my functions.php

$disp_user = $bp->displayed_user->id;
if( bp_friend_get_total_requests_count($disp_user) > 0) {
$bp->bp_nav .= ‘(‘.bp_friend_get_total_requests_count($disp_user).’)‘;
}

This doesn’t really allow for the customization I want, but I guess it will have to do for now.

@Jeff indeed it’s working now: Here is my bp-custom.php for others: http://pastie.org/1030176

I think it wasn’t working because I had adjusted the do_action() function from within my function to do_action( ‘my_friends_setup_nav’); and I guess it needs to be left as do_action( ‘friends_setup_nav’);

Thanks for all your help Jeff!
