good work. trying to upload plugin but experiencing difficulties with installation failed report.

@joebenny - if you create a a file called bp-custom.php and add that file to your /wp-content/plugins/ this is where you can add custom code. I copied the code above to my bp-custom.php file and it works flawlessly.

Add the code below to grab content from the page id of your choice. Swap out the page id with the one corresponding to your website. The post or page id in in the URL if you are editing the page. For example, mine is post.php?post=28&action=edit and post=28 means my post id is 28. I am going to be putting together a custom function to allow users to take practice exams and view results as well so I will be adding some extra code to my account for anyone looking to make use of Gravity forms within BuddyPress. Also please be sure you paste the above code, as well as the code below to the bp-custom.php file. If you do not have the file (as it doesn't come standard with BuddyPress) create the file in your editor, add , and place all of your content within the php tags.

/**

• the function hooked to bp_template_content, this hook is in plugns.php. The hook
• will call the content of the Portfolio page to the navigation item.
  */

function bp_custom_screen_content() {
$my_id = 28;
$post_id_28 = get_post($my_id);
$content = $post_id_28->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
echo $content;

This is excellent. My question is what if I want to create multiple new pages using this? I've tried duplicating and creating a bp-custom-2 but that didn't work and threw an error.

@fuadmurad - you'd have to create a new function by duplicating the entire code above and rename the new function to whatever name works for you...

Quick question, does anyone know what globals are available when hooking bp_template_content? For example, if I wanted to show data to users that are not the owner of the profile but allow said owner to edit their own data.

All of buddypress is pretty much available when you are on a buddypress page. You could wrap any code in bp_is_my_profile() conditional to check if the user "owns" the profile

You are a star. Thank you. This information has saved me a few hours of head-scratching.

This is pretty awesome. Would there be a way to make these profile pages only viewable to a certain member type/profile type? For example, if I wanted to add a custom page called grades for members that are "students", and then a custom tab called "Student Roll" for members that are "teachers"?
