Certain group tab start help for a plug in

[TimCarey]

I am the creator of the BP Group frontpage plug in. In the code of my plug in I make sure that the tab related to my plug in comes up first when someone goes to a group instead of home. Since version 1.5 this is not happening. I really could use any advice you can give relating to this. My code that I used to accomplish the certain tab come up first task is as follows. Code was originally given to me and but I don't know who.

function tac_redirect_to_frontpage() {
	global $bp;
	
	$path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
	
	$path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
	
	if ( bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['home']['slug'] ) === false )
		bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['frontpage']['slug'] . '/' );
}
add_action( 'wp', 'tac_redirect_to_frontpage' );

1) Hook earlier.

add_action( 'wp', 'tac_redirect_to_frontpage', 1 );

2) bp_options_nav group items are no longer keyed as 'groups'. Try:

if ( bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['slug'] ) === false )
		bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['frontpage']['slug'] . '/' );

Heh. Good call, sbrajesh. I'd missed that. TimCarey, definitely use that constant instead.

I'm trying to make a new question on the Dev blog but for understanding wise I am replying here. tried the above changes without changing priority and of course it didn't work. When I changed priority like above when I try to go to a group the page loads forever until I get an error from my browser that page cannot be loaded.

This is not a BuddyPress bug or feature enhancement, so there's no reason to leave the ticket open.

I'm not sure why you're having problems. Probably there is a redirect loop. I have not tested it.

But - it doesn't matter, because, as sbrajesh points out, there is now a built-in way to set a group's default content. Either define BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION, or filter 'bp_groups_default_extension' in a plugin.
