RTmedia button to Buddypanel

[Lieke]

Hello!

I’m using the Boss theme with SocialLearner(Learndash) and RTmedia.
I’m trying to add a navigation button to the BuddyPanel with a custom icon.
RTmedia provide the code below but it doesn’t work properly.
The ‘My Media’ button is also added to the Top-menu and the MyProfile-menu and when I add an custom icon to the button through a class the link doesn’t work anymore. I also can’t move it to another position.
I’ve tried the plugin ‘BP direct menu’ but this messed up the site completely.

I hope there is a solution.

function my_wp_get_nav_menu_items( $items, $menu, $args ){
if ( is_user_logged_in() && class_exists( 'RTMedia' ) ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();    // get current logged in user id
$url = trailingslashit ( get_rtmedia_user_link ( get_current_user_id () ) ) . RTMEDIA_MEDIA_SLUG . '/';     // get user's media link
// add new menu item to nav menu
$new_item = new stdClass;
$new_item->menu_item_parent = 0;
$new_item->url = $url;
$new_item->title = 'My Media';
$new_item->menu_order = count( $items ) + 1;
$items[] = $new_item;
}
return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', 'my_wp_get_nav_menu_items', 99, 3 );

Hi @liekjah
I have explained it in following thread
You will also need to modify header files at which location where that specific menu is called

Hi Varun,

Thank you for your response.
In the thread you are saying to use the bp-direct-menus plugin.
I’ve tried this plugin but this messed up the site completely, as I’ve said in my question.
I can’t add an icon to the buddypanel-menu and I also can’t move it to another position.

Is there another solution?

Thanks.

For default BP menus those could be overridden easily by bp-direct-menus plugin and for any new page you can add custom fontawesome class
Please let me know for which menu item you are trying to modify the icon
