  1. Hello,
    thanks again for another very useful code , really appreciate this site , I have added new tab (Music & Video ) below main ACTIVITY TAB , working fine with oembed You tube plugin and the videos from there , but below that new TAB are also another previous activity items (post updates , events updates etc. ) How can I do the Tab content unique for only this Music & Video and NOT for anything else ?

  2. I did a lot of hacking related to this and had troubles. I think a better route is to learn how to create a buddypress component. Its pretty complicated but worth it in the longrun. There is actually a wordpress plugin called buddypress component skeleton you can install via the wordpress plugin system.

    Good, luck. Like I said the bp component is complicated but works better than hacking the tabs.
