Hi Brajesh, I understand your explanation now, I can see the difference between having a shortcode to add content and linking to another page, in this case the members directory.

‘If you do not want to link to directory and want to show the members list inside the profile tab’
Yes that is what I had hoped for.

‘(I do not think it is a good idea as Buddypress already provides the directory)’

This I don’t understand in relation to my design wish?

Maybe it is because I do not understand the difference between BP components and BP pages, why is Members a page, not a component?

Hi Brajesh, thanks for your prompt reply.

I is a bit complex to me, but it is late, and I will look at your explanation again tomorrow.

Just to rule out misunderstandings, what I want is this, the users own profile to be displayed at all time, no matter what tab you activate.

When I talk about Search, it is not the BP standard search component, but the BP Profile Search plugin, which I created a tab for earlier with the shortcode.

Hi Brajesh, I have found som design irregularities with the new created tabs. You have been most helpful with this plugin, so take your time, it is not an urgent issue.

This is the members own profile, My Profile

Activating Members tab REMOVES the member profile information, tabs, profile image and cover image

Activating search tab LEAVES the member profile information, tabs, profile image and cover image

When entering a members profile the new tabs Members and Search are displayed, next to Profile and Gallery. this seems a bit weird.

Again clicking Members tab removes the visited members profile information

Hitting the Search tab, does not

Optimally the members own Profile, should stay on top all the time, with all tabs visible, like it does when clicking Profile, Notifications
Messages, Gallery and Settings, Obviously all the BP Components. But then again, also Search and Gallery, but not Members?

And the added tabs should not display when visiting a members profile.

It is working now, thank you. One question regarding custom links vs. Pages

‘You can disable the code and simply create a tab and in the first sub tab add that shortcode. That will do it.’

I deleted the code from my functions.php.
Now the search tab in the WP menu, is a Page reference, before it was a was a Custom Link.

All menu items are automated Custom links, except Home, Search and Members, which are page references

Why was Search a Custom Link before, and now a Page, what’s the difference, and what’s best?

Hi Brajesh, thank you for clarifying the functionality and possibilities with this plugin.

‘There is one restriction, if you are removing the default landing page of a profile, you will need to set another tab as landing(It applies in code too). Also, you can not change “slug” of the existing tab/subtab.’

I am not sure I understand this, could you please explain this in another way?

‘You can not change the color/background as that needs css and we did not think that as a major feature. I can provide css that you can add in your customize settings(Additional Styles) to change the color if needed.’

okay, thanks, I can do some CSS myself, though it sometime can be difficult to find the right selector, and sometimes selectors working in the inspector, does not work in your CSS sheet.

My purpose of customizing the tabs is to make them look less BuddyPress, matching my other menu tabs.

Regards
