Hi Guys,

I have a problem i cannot fix. I have searched everywhere but without any luck.
I hope you Buddypress experts can help me on this

I have below code to create a subnav tab function to create a subnav tab. I have set $collection term to the value i want. Below function works, no problem there! But what i want to do is to take the variable outside of the function, which doesnt seem to work.

WORKING CODE:

function my_custom_subnav() {
	global $bp; 
	$collection_term = 'subnav  tab name';
	$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,
	
	) );
	
	
			 }

$bp->bp_subnav['TAXONOMY TERM'] = false;

function screen_function_name() {

	//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'subnav_function_to_show_screen_content' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

function subnav_function_to_show_screen_content() {
	ECHO 'posts in '. $collection_term ;
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_custom_subnav' );

WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE:

$collection_term = 'subnav  tab name';  /* variable outside the function */

function my_custom_subnav() {
	global $bp; 
	$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,  
/* rest of the code */

I have tried to set the $collection_term to Global, but that also doesnt seem to be working.
Please help me out, I have aged a lot trying to solve this mystery!
