bp_is_action_variable( string $action_variable = '', int|bool $position = false )

Check to see whether the current page matches a given action_variable.


Description Description

Along with bp_is_current_component() and bp_is_current_action(), this function is mostly used to help determine when to use a given screen function.

In BP parlance, action_variables are an array made up of the URL chunks appearing after the current_action in a URL. For example, http://example.com/groups/my-group/admin/group-settings $action_variables[0] is ‘group-settings’.


Parameters Parameters

$action_variable

(Optional) The action_variable being tested against.

Default value: ''

$position

(Optional) The array key you're testing against. If you don't provide a $position, the function will return true if the $action_variable is found *anywhere* in the action variables array.

Default value: false

Return Return

(bool) True if $action_variable matches at the $position provided.
