The problem using xmlrpc is that it doesn’t trigger the ‘wp’ action that bp wakes up to. I had no intention of doing so myself at the time of writing bbGroups. I didn’t know what kind of mayhem that might entail. I was trying to be as minimally invasive as possible and not cause more problems than I usually do.
I didn’t have time to dig through the xprofile component to do exactly what you want but I did have time to do this. I added a filter to the group and user data that goes across to bbpress. There are two fns that build the associative array of info that goes across and gets stuffed into bbpress forum and user meta tables.
I added the filter ‘oci_get_user’ to the oci_get_user() fn and ‘oci_get_group’ to the oci_get_group() fn. I also did a little demo of how to create such a filter for any data you want to go across to bbpress. I pulled the user’s forum list and the list of forums where the user is ‘staff’ and implemented that as a filter. It doesn’t get created or include by the fn I created for that purpose anymore. It uses a filter. oci_get_user() builds and includes info from the bp user obj and then calls the filter for the added and needed forum info.
/**
* oci_get_user_filter()
*
* Live example of how to use the filter mechanism to add info to the data going across to bbpress
* This filter adds the user’s forums and forums where the user is staff into the $user array
* @return
* @param associative array $user from oci_get_user()
*/
function oci_get_user_filter($user){
$users_group_info = oci_get_users_group_info($user);
$user = $users_group_info;
$user = $users_group_info;
return $user;
}
add_filter(‘oci_get_user’,’oci_get_user_filter’,10,1);
The data being stuff into the $user array used to be included in the oci_get_user() fn and now it’s being included in that filter.
You just need to create your own filter fn and trap the ‘oci_get_user’ filter chain like I did above. The zip with the new capability is available on my site as:

I didn’t bump the ver number, change the readme.txt or update the plugin’s blog post yet. This reply is the docs for the moment.
You have to be careful what you send across. Only primitive types can go over through xmlrpc. No objects. int, string, bool, array…
Hey nicola, There are hooks for blog creation but wp doesn’t record the fact that ‘this user created this blog’. wp’s get_blogs_of_user() returns blogs where the user has any role. Being an ‘administrator’ in a user meta wp_BLOGID_capabilities list doesn’t mean the user created that blog.
The creation process has to be recorded somewhere and the only place is in bp’s bp_user_blogs table. As far as I know. Be more than happy to learn otherwise. I learn something new every day around here.
You betcha de nada.
Hanging out here has caused my picture perfect English to degenerate into a mashup of American street slang and various foreign languages. Actually, I don’t consider that to be a bad thing. Of course this speaking ‘Burtlish’ could backfire on me. I think I said something like “you’re lucky!” to our Italian friend. I also could have said “you asshole!” if I’m not mistaken.
The member theme is not a standard WP theme it can’t be used as such. It puts up the error message because it’s required.
lol. I was just looking for that thread. Thanks. Guess what? I tagged it this time I found it ‘redirect’, ‘login’.
