[Resolved] Display groups a user is member of

I’m trying to display the names of the groups a given user is a member of. Unfortunately, there is no function already doing this so I’m trying to put something together myself with my very limited knowledge of PHP.

So far I have this: BP_Groups_Member::get_group_ids($user_id);

This is supposed to get me the group ids which I still need to turn into group names.
Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
I did come across that thread earlier, but the answers didn’t seem to work for me.

Anyway, I used the groups_get_user_groups() function you mentioned in your reply and came up with a solution doing what I was looking for along with comma separation of the group names:

<?php 
$group_ids = groups_get_user_groups(bp_displayed_user_id());
foreach($group_ids["groups"] as $group_id) { 
	echo(groups_get_group(array( 'group_id' => $group_id )) -> name . (end($group_ids["groups"]) == $group_id ? '' : ', ' ) ); 
	}
?>

Just in case anybody else needs this too, I have included an updated version of the code in form of a function. It now displays links to the groups a user is a member of and it’s possible to toggle display of hidden groups.

// display links to the groups a user is member of
function user_group_memberships( $user_id = null, $show_hidden = false ) {

	$group_ids = groups_get_user_groups($user_id);
	
	$visible_group_ids = array();
	
	foreach($group_ids["groups"] as $group_id) { 
		if (!$show_hidden) {
			if(groups_get_group(array( 'group_id' => $group_id )) -> status !== 'hidden') {
			$visible_group_ids[] = $group_id;
			}
		} else {
		$visible_group_ids[] = $group_id;
		}
	}
	
	if (empty($visible_group_ids)) {
		echo 'None';
	} else {
		foreach($visible_group_ids as $visible_group_id) {
			echo(
				'<a title="View group page" href="' . home_url() . '/groups/' . groups_get_group(array( 'group_id' => $visible_group_id )) -> slug . '">' . 
				groups_get_group(array( 'group_id' => $visible_group_id )) -> name . '</a>' . 
				(end($visible_group_ids) == $visible_group_id ? '' : ', ' ) 
			);
		}
	}
}

This is my first ever PHP function so any feedback is welcome.
