Dear Brajesh,

Sorry, I am not a developer so some terms i have to look up.
Initializing a variable means giving it a value, right? Like $collection_term = ‘foo’;

I am looking to get taxonomyterm values by user, and for each value create a subnav tab.
In any case the first step to achieve that is to be able to use a variable from outside the function.

I have placed below code in bp-custom.php, but without any result. I have also tried to use $GLOBALS[‘collection_term’], but also no result there.

 
$collection_term = 'test';

function my_custom_subnav() {
	global $bp;
        global $collection_term;
	
	$collection_term_slug = strtolower($collection_term);//lowercase
        $collection_term_slug = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $collection_term); // replace spaces with hyphens.
	$collection_term_slug = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $collection_term); // Removes special chars.
	$screen_function_name = 'subnav_function_to_show_' . $collection_term_slug;
	
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
		'name' => $collection_term,  
		'slug' => $collection_term_slug,  
		'screen_function' => 'screen_function_name', 
                'parent_url'		=> trailingslashit(  bp_displayed_user_domain()  . 'collections' ),
		'parent_slug'		=> 'collections',
		'position'			=> 100,
	
	) );
			 }

I have hired some developers look at the code, and try to implement what i am looking to achieve, but they have been unsuccesful in their task. By the way, i read somewhere that global variables will be depreciated in php6.

Your help is highly appreciated! Would it be possible to hire you to implement the code?

I have used another way to include a custom template, topic can be marked as resolved.

Thanks for your reply.

What is seems to do is get the terms and a link, right?

That is not what i was actually asking your help for. what i was looking to achieve is to create a subnav tab for each term in the buddypress member profile view.

so by looping functions my_custom_subnav(), function subnav_function_to_show_screen_title() and
function subnav_function_to_show_screen_content() for each term the user has used within the custom taxonomy.

nav tab: collection (default fixed profile tab)
sub nav tab: term1, term3, term 4, term7 (depending on the terms the user has used in the submitted posts)

I hope that clarifies what i am looking to achieve.

Sorry,

one last question in regards to this subject.

Based on your example, i have created a function where i can specify the member type

 
function get_user_id_by_member_types( $ids = array(), $type ){

	
	$ids = wp_parse_id_list( $ids );
	
	if( ! $ids ) {
		return ;
	}
	
	$args = array(
		'user_ids'			=> $ids,
		'populate_extras'	=> true, //it will fetch names etc and cache member types
	);
	
	$user_query = new BP_User_Query( $args );
	
	$users = $user_query->results;
	$user_by_types = array();//multidimensional array
	//an Arr of WP_User objects with some added details like last_activity, latest_update etc
	foreach ( $users as $user ) {
		
		$member_type = bp_get_member_type( $user->ID );
		if( ! $member_type ) {
			continue;
		}
		
		$user_by_types[$member_type][] = $user->ID;
		
	}
	
	// print_r( $user_by_types );

	$type_result = $user_by_types[$type];
	//print_r ($type_result); 
$csv = implode( ',' , $type_result );

echo $csv;
}

It echo’s a comma seperated list of ID’s for the type.

Your member type generator plugin can also have a member directory for each member type.
What i would like to do is to have a member directory (just like yours) in a navigation tab in the displayed user profile.

So i have created a nav tab called “students”, and as content of the nav tab i would like to have the directory of all users in the array $csv of the type students as defined in $type.

I know where to put the content code for this tab, but i don’t know how to query the memberloop for both the $type (in this case students) and the ID’s in $csv.

Could you give me a pointer in the right direction?

Hi Brajesh,

I have tested the (counting) code and it seems to be working. However, it returns a total count of all members.

What was after is to get the results for a specific array of user ID’s, and breakdown this array:

E.g.

$res2 = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11)

4 teachers, ID’s 1,2,3,4
5 students, ID’s 5,6,7,8,9
2 parents, ID’s 10,11

so i need a way to tell your function to only check the ID’s as in $res2
