Thanks mercrime, I did try that before though was abit rushed, had another look and reworked my function so now bp_before_group_header_meta works well!

The way I had my function before rendered nothing when using bp_before_group_header_meta though worked with get_group_desc…

Thanks

Finally got my line sorted then battled for 2 days because I didnt know the wp svn was case sensitive..

Anyways, Ive added some screen shots and the plugin is sorted, would love some feed-back or feature requests.

Ps: Buddypress isnt on Klout so I used the WordPress one instead for the group scores

As modemlooper said, buddypress.org is not a reflection of buddyress itself. If you want to test out the current/stable release – there is testbp.org specifically for that purpose.

There are free alternatives. Drupal and joomla amongst others. Just remember that beggers can’t be choose’s – no one is forcing you to run wp/bp..

Regarding buddypress bugs and such – joomla has something like 6000 core bugs.

Yes there’s a conflicting function – my_admin_menu

I will sort it out and also need to customize the group api. For future bugs and feedback – please use the bp group plus forum

[@cj-kruger Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Welcome pack has this sort of functionality – first time a user logs in you can direct them to a specified page

Thank you!

@boonebgorges I used your $group_details_save function from the plugin above – line 56

I only used the $plain_fields, and can’t figure out how to check if `$success = true`, to be used in the group extension api:

` if ( !$success )
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘There was an error saving, please try again’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’ );
else
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘Settings saved successfully’, ‘buddypress’ ) );`

For now I’m just skipping it so I can continue work by using `$success = true;`.

If you have a some spare time and wouldn’t mind taking a look, here is my version of the Group Extension – Past bin

Line 68 is where Im using `$success = true;`, just above the `!$success check`
Line 114 is my version of function `group_details_save`.

Ps: sorry for the long read

whilst we on the subject, might be nice to let folks know to use `$bp->groups->current_group->id` for the `edit_screen_save()`

@BlinkyBill01 and @mikey3d

Here’s the plugin, im open to suggestions and improvements.

`Adds two additional/optional fields to your BuddyPress groups – let groups link to an external website and extra field you may define.`

Buddypress group plus

Its the initial release, still have to clean up a few things but it works

[@cj-kruger Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Ive written one, just cleaning up the code – will be up later today

As for the “Required Check Box”, try out BP Group tags – the new category feature should suit your needs
