BuddyPress: Adding a new tab in groups

3 comments

1. There’s an example of this on the buddypress forums which is a good place to start looking for answers.

   http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/can-someone-explain-how-to-add-tabs-to-the-profile-page/

   For the sake of answering here though here goes:

   bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
      'name' => 'My Group Page',
      'slug' => 'my-group-page',
      'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->groups->slug . '/',
      'parent_slug' => $bp->groups->slug,
      'screen_function' => 'my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen',
      'position' => 40 ) );
   

   And the screen function to render the page:

   function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen() {
   
       //add title and content here - last is to call the members plugin.php template
       add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_title' );
       add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content' );
       bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
   }
   
       function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_title() {
           echo 'My Page Title';
       }
       function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content() { 
   
           // page content goes here
   
       }

2. This worked for me:

   function setup_group_nav(){
       global $bp; 
       /* Add some group subnav items */
       $user_access = false;
       $group_link = '';
       if( bp_is_active('groups') && !empty($bp->groups->current_group) ){
           $group_link = $bp->root_domain . '/' . bp_get_groups_root_slug() . '/' . $bp->groups->current_group->slug . '/';
           $user_access = $bp->groups->current_group->user_has_access;
           bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
               'name' => __( 'Custom', 'custom'),
               'slug' => 'custom', 
               'parent_url' => $group_link, 
               'parent_slug' => $bp->groups->current_group->slug,
               'screen_function' => 'bp_group_custom', 
               'position' => 50, 
               'user_has_access' => $user_access, 
               'item_css_id' => 'custom' 
           ));
       }
   }
   add_action( 'bp_init', 'setup_group_nav' );
   
   function bp_group_custom() {
       add_action('bp_template_title', 'my_new_group_show_screen_title');
       add_action('bp_template_content', 'my_new_group_show_screen_content');
   
       $templates = array('groups/single/plugins.php', 'plugin-template.php');
       if (strstr(locate_template($templates), 'groups/single/plugins.php')) {
           bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'groups/single/plugins'));
       } else {
           bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'plugin-template'));
       }
   
   }
   
   function my_new_group_show_screen_title() {
       echo 'New Tab Title';
   }
   
   function my_new_group_show_screen_content() {
       echo 'New tab page content';
   
   }

3. For your example to work, you need to wrap it in a function like this (that you’ll place in functions.php) :

   function my_setup_nav() {
       global $bp;
       bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
          'name' => 'My Group Page',
          'slug' => 'my-group-page',
          'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->groups->slug . '/',
          'parent_slug' => $bp->groups->slug,
          'screen_function' => 'my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen',
          'position' => 40 ) );
   }
   add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_setup_nav' );
   

   and place you rendreing function after obviously.
