BP Direct Menus

FAQ

How does this work?

Visit your navigation admin menu page, you got a new box including 5 links: ‘log in’, ‘logout’, ‘log in/logout’, ‘register’, ‘custom’.

Add the link you want, for example « Log in|Logout »

1. You can change the 2 titles links, just separate them with a | (pipe)

2. You can add a page for redirection, example #bpmdloginout#index.php This will redirect users on site index.

3. You can add 2 pages for redirection, example #bpmdloginout#login.php|logout.php This will redirect users too.

4. For this redirection you can use the special value %actualpage%, this will redirect the user on the actual page.

What are the shortcodes?

You can also add shortcodes in your pages/posts. just do this :

In you posts/pages : [loginout]
In your theme : <?php echo do_shortcode( '[loginout]' ); ?>

The 4 basic shortcodes are « [bpdm_login] », « [bpdm_logout] » and « [bpdm_loginout] », « [bpdm_register] ».

You can set 2 parameters, named « redirect » and « edit_tag ».

Redirect: used to redirect the user after the action (log in or out) ; example : « /welcome/ » or « index.php »

Edit_tag: used to modify the tag, ; example  » class=’myclass’ » or  » id=’myid’ class=’myclass’ rel=’friend’ » etc

You can also modify the title link with [login]Click here to connect[/login] for example

How does the custom link work?

• Add it to a menu or using a shortcode just like the other links.
• Put in the end part of the URL after the #bpmdcustom# placeholder or in the url_part parameter. This will be appended to « .com/members/ » (the user’s profile page), so to go to a user’s messages: « #bpmdcustom#/messages/ ».
• Use one (or more) of the replacement tags in the menu item title or shortcode text:
  • « Messages %(unreadmessagecount)% »
  • [bpdmcustom url_part= »/messages/ »]Messages %(unreadmessagecount)%[/bpdmcustom]

How awesome is the custom link?

Totally.
