@fuadmurad - you'd have to create a new function by duplicating the entire code above and rename the new function to whatever name works for you...

Quick question, does anyone know what globals are available when hooking bp_template_content? For example, if I wanted to show data to users that are not the owner of the profile but allow said owner to edit their own data.

All of buddypress is pretty much available when you are on a buddypress page. You could wrap any code in bp_is_my_profile() conditional to check if the user "owns" the profile

You are a star. Thank you. This information has saved me a few hours of head-scratching.

This is pretty awesome. Would there be a way to make these profile pages only viewable to a certain member type/profile type? For example, if I wanted to add a custom page called grades for members that are "students", and then a custom tab called "Student Roll" for members that are "teachers"?
