[RESOLVED] BP 1.6 BP_Group_Extension (extended) widget_display() – wont work
-
i have run into slight prob: vis:
using BP 1.6 and basically following code here:
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
all works fine, except cant find where to administer or display group widgets as defined by the overridden widget_display().
cant see any output anywhere, front or back end.
i get the impression these are not ordinary wp widgets, which might be further confusing me.
what i am doing wrong?
thanks for any assistance.

excellent answer! thanks Paul. that sort of explains why i couldnt make sense of them.looking a bit closer, i see that:
in file: bp-groups-classes
class: BP_Group_Extension
function/method: _registerreads:
Code:var $ display_hook = ‘ groups_custom_group_boxes ‘;…
`if ( bp_is_group() ) {
if ( $ this->visibility == ‘public’ || ( $ this->visibility != ‘ public ‘ && $ bp->groups->current_group->user_has_access ) ) {`…
// Hook the group home widget
if ( !bp_current_action() && bp_is_current_action( ‘ home ‘ ) )
add_action( $ this->display_hook, array( & $ this, ‘ widget_display ‘ ) );
}
}
…– then in file bp-groups-template.php:
Code:function bp_custom_group_boxes() {
do_action( ‘ groups_custom_group_boxes ‘ );
}– which doesnt appeare to be called from anywhere in BP 1.6 (or its std theme)
– though does i suppose make the hook available (on group home only), were i to override the default template or call the theme/template func. bp_custom_group_boxes.
i cant think of a use for it yet either. but i’m sure i will.
thanks again
ps. code backquotes seem to be broken at the moment – thus i put spaces around $ signs etc above – hope its stil readable
