BuddyPress.org

Thanks for the input @danbp and @sbradjesh.

Dan – thanks for the suggestion, but I was able to get the types all along. 🙂
Bradjesh – you’re right regarding the order but I thought i was able to do this before, especially working with plugins that I needed to work with the member type for some logic. I made adjustments based on your suggestion. 🙂

Can you include a screenshot?

Are you sure this functionality isn’t coming from or be altered by another plugin or your theme?

Using Gravity Forms is one solution, yes. It’s easy once you have the plugin itself PLUS the “user registration” plugin they offer which i think is open only for the developer license. It completely replaces the BuddyPress registration form. I use it for a variety of sites that need more complex registration forms (there of course is a tradeoff,…[Read more]

Thanks but that didn’t seem to do much either. I even checked back to other BP_Component examples and i’m using the same hooks. I’m guessing this is something “weird” (or something i’m not aware of) with bbPress. I just went ahead and created the bbPress forum and connected it to the BP group in my plugin manually. I hate to do that…[Read more]

BTW, thanks for the responses @shanebp @danbp

Thanks. Sadly this isn’t working out. I’m going to post this here in case someone can tinker with it (you’ll need BP and bbPress installed):

Yeah, i’m trying to use the BP native functions and hooks. I have no problem with the BuddyPress flow – just when it comes to relying on…[Read more]

@shanebp

Thanks for the response. That in a nutshell is what i’m doing right now with the change you suggest. Loader.php loads the file that contains the code above via bp_loaded. Then i try to initialize my class CurrikiGroupImport. So it’s a chicken and egg thing – either I can init my class and get the plugin loaded and showing up in the WP…[Read more]

@shanebp

The change to ‘bp_ready’ gets past the “crapstop” but my plugin no longer shows up in the menu. Although i’ve always thought ‘bp_loaded’ was the proper hook here, for the moment i’ll take it.

Here’s the full bit of code. Perhaps i’m not init the class properly here?


function curgi_group_import_init() {

Furthermore, I can create a group with my plugin WITH the “this groups has a forum” checkmark (but remember – my problem is that i can’t ACTUALLY create the forum). I can go into the “groups” area in the WP backend and simply edit the group and hit ‘update’ and WordPress DOES create the group. So it works there, but not in myplugin. I’m thinking…[Read more]

@shanebp – I have looked at that. function groups_new_group_forum is called by function groups_edit_group_settings which i’m calling. The “checkbox” for groups to have a forum is updated but no forum is created.

Here’s the lines of code in groups_edit_group_settings() in bp-groups-functions.php


// If forums have been enabled, and a forum does…[Read more]

Hi @henrywright. Thanks for responding.

BTW, I want to apologize a little… for some reason I thought you were the author of the plugin… but Jeff Farthing is. That’s what I was picking on you (thought you said it was your plugin in another thread?).

So with that being said – plus your response – i’m going to climb inside later and see if i…[Read more]

Just wanted to say thanks (sorry for the delayed response) and i’ll look into this. Report back one way or the other.
