    Hi there, I want to move an element, in this case the profile tab using a hook element. The problem is the slug /members/name/profile/ which of course is dynamic.

    For your own profile, the slug /members/me/profile/ is very handy for defining your own profile, but is there a corresponding slug for current profile?

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Brajesh, sorry for not making myself clear, but here’s the case.

    I’m using a hook element to place tabs different places on my page. I’m then adding functions, like bp_send_private_message_button to that hook which is working fine.

    But the correct functions can be difficult to find, which is why I’m trying another approach by adding the element from the inspector instead.

    Anm example is the ‘Profile’ tab, where the markup is the same on own profile and profiles visited.
    The problem is, that the href is not changing. If I use members/me/profile, it will always point at users own profile, which is fine, but if I add this code, it will always point to jeff’s profile.

    <li id="xprofile-personal-li" class="current selected"><a id="user-xprofile" href="https://domain/members/jeff/profile/">Profil</a></li>

    I hope this clarifies.

    Maybe this approach is not working for what I am trying to achieve. The best way is to add the function, but even if I use buddypress.org hookr.io/, or a plugin to show the functions, they often do not work.

    Any suggestions would be most appreciated

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    I am sorry but I still do not understand the question.

    I will list some functions, may be they may prove useful.

    

$url = bp_displayed_user_domain(); // if you are on a user profile
$url = bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ); // if you know the user id
$url = bp_loggedin_user_domain(); // for the logged in user

    These are different way to get access to user’s profile url.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh, thanks for the functions.

    To be more specific, I need the function for the user xprofile button link, to put into a hook element so the tab shows here: ´bp_after_member_body´

    This code below is taken directly from the inspector, but this code will not work as it is, because it will link to the user “John” even if you are visiting user “Ben”‘s profile.

    <li id="xprofile-personal-li" class="current selected"><a id="user-xprofile" href="https://domain/members/John/profile/">Profil</a></li>

    I have tried to put on of the functions into php tags

    ´<?php $url = bp_displayed_user_domain(); ?>´

    Hi Brajesh, just to clarify this, then eg

    href=$url = bp_loggedin_user_domain();"

    replaces

    href="https://domain/members/carstenadmin/profile/change-avatar/"

    or am I wrong?

    Yes, I can see I am wrong, it breaks my site.

    What I do not understand is, that these functions you gave to me seems to be urls, but apparently I can’t just replace a normal url with these.

    So my question is, how do I use these functions/urls?

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi, you may use this

    

<?php
 $url = bp_loggedin_user_domain() . 'profile';
?>

    and then in href

    

href="<?php echo esc_url( $url );?>

    or

    

href="<?php echo esc_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain(). 'profile' );?>"

    Regards
    Brajesh
