    Hello 🙂

    I would like to create a tab (nav_item) in every users profile that can display the custom post type of some events that are assigned to the user.
    The plugin https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ can do that just fine, but i don’t need all this extra code for creating,editing,deleting posts. Only the display part. Is there a way i could use specific part of the code for this?

    old conversation here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-show-posts-written-by-user-on-profile/

    I would also need to manipulate the code a bit so that the tab is being created only for specific user roles (for example only for Editors and Subscribers).

    Could you please help me?

    Kind Regards,
    Lefteris

    Hello Brajesh,

    Thank you very much for your reply 🙂
    I have managed to create a nav_item and set a custom post type loop displaying my events in it.
    Here is my code. https://pastebin.com/xYCV5HzB (Please could you check it and let me know if i did any mistake?)

    However i am trying to fix 2 issues:
    1. i am having difficulties to set this nav_item only for specific user roles.
    This means that only specific roles will have this custom nav_item on the public members page and on their profile.(For example only Editors,Administrators and Producers)
    Somethink like

    $allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator', 'author');
if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user->roles ) ) {

    2. In the post loop i am trying to display the categories that are assigned to the custom post. (Also maybe set a better code format instead of all those echo)

    I would appreciate any help.

    Best Regards,
    Lefteris

    Hello Brajesh,

    I have tried to use your code example here https://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/profile-tabs-depending-to-user-role-or-member-type/#post-11773 but still it doesn’t work 100% as it should.
    It removes the nav_item from all the users that are not for example with role ‘subscribers’ but if the current login user is an ‘author’ (and he should be able to access his own events custom nav_item) and he is on the screen of a subscriber the nav_item is getting removed for him.

    *Basically my theme has a profile menu as a dropdown in the users screen top right corner and i can see that the nav_item is getting removed.

    Thank you for any help.

    Best Regards,
    Lefteris

    Hello Brajesh,

    Thank you for your reply and your patience 🙂

    You don’t need to check my second question.I got to display the categories correct.

    I am just trying to register this nav_tab only for specific roles.I have tried to use your code example here https://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/profile-tabs-depending-to-user-role-or-member-type/#post-11773 but is not working exactly as it should.

    Please let me know when you have a check.

    Best Regards,
    Lefteris

    Hello Brajesh,

    Hi Lefteris,
    Thank you for the replies.
    I had a look.

    You can update your function tot his to limit to certain roles.

    
function mb_bp_profile_menu_radio_shows() {

	if ( ! bp_is_user() ) {
		return;
	}

	$user = get_user_by( 'id', bp_displayed_user_id() );

	if ( ! array_intersect( $user->roles, array( 'editor', 'administrator', 'author' ) ) ) {
		return;
	}

	bp_core_new_nav_item(
		array(
			'name'                => 'ΕΚΠΟΜΠΕΣ',
			'slug'                => 'shows',
			'position'            => 30,
			'default_subnav_slug' => 'shows',
			'screen_function'     => 'producer_shows',
		)
	);

}

    For cleaning up the second part, I will suggest using get_template_part to load content from your theme/child theme.

    Here, i have loaded the file producer-content.php from theme(you can change as you please)

    
function producer_shows_content_screen() {
	get_template_part( 'producer-content' ); // loads producer-conten.php from theme.
}

    and you can put the markup there in this template file.

    Hope that helps.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hello Brajesh,

    Thank you very much for your kind help.

    I will cleanup the second part as you mentioned. However my main problem is about the certain roles tab creation.

    Your code works correct as expected but there is one problem. When the user with role ‘editor’ visits a profile page of a user that is not in the ΄allowed roles΄ (for example with role ‘subscriber’) then the nav_item is getting removed also for him (that it shouldn’t, since he is with role ‘editor’).

    I can see that because my theme has a drop-down profile menu in the right top corner section of the page, so this item is getting removed for the current logged in user. https://cdn2.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/creating-a-submenu-1.png

    I hope you could understand what i am trying to say 🙂

    Best Regards,
    Lefteris
