Add menu item to the Profile drop down menu

[daniellemarie]

How can I add a menu item to the profile drop down? I am looking to add a “Help” link below the Settings link. I am referring to the Profile menu next to the login button.

Thanks

Hello,
Easy job with the “header_profile_dropdown” filter. Add this to your sweetdate-child/functions.php

COPY CODE

add_filter('header_profile_dropdown', 'my_profile_link');
function my_profile_link($links) {
	$links[] = '<li><a href="http://mydomain.com/help">Help</a></li>';
	return $links;
}

Will that add an indicator also Abe, like with the private message and the friends request?

Nope. You need to add your own entry. The text displayed is right in the code

Hi,
The above code worked great to add a Help link to the dropdown.

How do I add an “Edit Profile” link? The problem is that username is in the URL. For example, the link to edit a profile for a user named “tester” is http://mydomain.com/members/tester/profile/edit/group/1/

Thanks!

Hello,

i also have the same problem with the username in the URL.

I think its really complicate to find this site: /profile/edit/group/1/

Is there an option to add this link in the header for only registered members or in the drop down ?

Regards

Hi, See the example that gets the profile link automatically:
$links[] = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/edit">Edit profile</a></li>';

Thanks for that Abe.
Do I string it in like this?

COPY CODE

add_filter('header_profile_dropdown', 'my_profile_link');
function my_profile_link($links) {
	$links[] = '<li><a href="http://thegiftvillage.com/help" rel="nofollow">Help</a></li>';
        $links[] = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/edit">Edit profile</a></li>';
	return $links;
}
