Hello… ^^
Been on this for a week now and can’t figure how to do it… 🙁
If someone has an idea for this I would be really grateful, or then… think I will just abandon the idea :/
Thanks

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

@hnla ok no problem thank you for your answer 🙂
I see you are a moderator, maybe you could just change my topic title to be more explicit for people to help, for example “Leave/Join Group Button shortcode on any Posts/Pages” please? 🙂
Thank you very much

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hello @hnla thank you for your answer 🙂
But I can see the button already in the Group page it is working well, I just want to be able to put the join/leave button for a specific group on a WordPress Post or a Page for example 🙂
(That is why at first I wanted to put a simple button with a Link to the Group URL but it is not working, I should have changed my topic title but I can’t edit anything)
That is why I thought it would be easier to create a shortcode for it 🙂

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi again 🙂
Can someone just tell me if it is not possible at all? :/
Trying things for 6 days already… can someone just tell me if I am on the right path or if I am totally wrong ^^
Thank you 🙂

Hello, try to add this in your functions.php (root of your theme folder)

function my_remove_bp_nav() {
	global $bp;

	bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->activity->slug,'favorites');

}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_remove_bp_nav' );

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hello 🙂
If you uncheck the User Groups in Buddypress settings (first tab) you disable all the Group system that is why all your groups disappeared.

I guess you are talking about the checking box on the FIRST tab of the buddypress settings, did you see the other one on the THIRD tab (called settings, just after the “Pages” tab) ? (at the top of the page)
You have a box to check to allow/disallow users to create groups.
Hope you are talking about that 😉

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Ooh I see 🙁
ok, thank you @danbp for your fast answer 🙂

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Thank you @danbp I will try this! 🙂

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hello thanks for your answer @danbp 🙂
Yes I have already deleted this line in group-header.php 🙂
Sorry if I was not clear enough, I was talking about the “members list” tab in the group itself 🙂

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi 🙂
Did you enable the messaging system in the first place?
If not you can activate it in : Settings/Buddypress/ and on the first page, check the messaging box

If you enabled this option already you should have a tab in your profil to send private message

[Edit] Wait what do you mean by “forums”? there are no forums on buddypress, are you talking about bbpress?

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

I tried to create a shortcode to show the join/leave button using the buddypress-functions but can’t make it to work… 🙁
What am I doing wrong?

I would like a shortcode like this :

[groupbutton name=”party1″]

I tried with this code for a join button only at first:

add_shortcode( 'groupbutton', 'groupbutton_check_shortcode' );

function groupbutton_check_shortcode( $attr ) {

	extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'name' => 'read' ), $attr ) );

	$current_group_id = BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug($name);
	$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $current_group_id ) );     
		if(bp_loggedin_user_id()) {
			if( 'public' == $group->status ) {
				echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $current_group_id ) . '" class="join-group" rel="join" title="' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'join', 'groups_join_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			}
		}
}

I am not a developer at all so I dont understand everything but I am trying… :/
Cant figure what I am doing wrong… and why it does not display anything at all.

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english 🙂

PS: I would like to use all cases of buttons like here on the buddypress-functions.php:

function bp_legacy_theme_ajax_joinleave_group() {
	// Bail if not a POST action
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )
		return;

	// Cast gid as integer
	$group_id = (int) $_POST['gid'];

	if ( groups_is_user_banned( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) )
		return;

	if ( ! $group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) ) )
		return;

	if ( ! groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
		if ( 'public' == $group->status ) {
			check_ajax_referer( 'groups_join_group' );

			if ( ! groups_join_group( $group->id ) ) {
				_e( 'Error joining group', 'buddypress' );
			} else {
				echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $group->id ) . '" class="leave-group" rel="leave" title="' . __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'leave-group', 'groups_leave_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			}

		} elseif ( 'private' == $group->status ) {

			// If the user has already been invited, then this is
			// an Accept Invitation button
			if ( groups_check_user_has_invite( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_accept_invite' );

				if ( ! groups_accept_invite( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
					_e( 'Error requesting membership', 'buddypress' );

				}

			// Otherwise, it's a Request Membership button
			} else {
				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_request_membership' );

				if ( ! groups_send_membership_request( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
					_e( 'Error requesting membership', 'buddypress' );

		}

	} else {
		check_ajax_referer( 'groups_leave_group' );

			_e( 'Error leaving group', 'buddypress' );

		}
	}

	exit;

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

resolved, just used what I copied pasted earlier and created a shortcode with it…

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hello again… ummm someone? an idea? 🙂
Should I just copy paste the button function to make a url work…? thank you

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

I just found this on WPMU dev (quite old, 2012) http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/member-part-of-a-group-in-buddypress

>>Aaron

You can pass bp_group_is_member($group) a group object. I think you can do this:

$group = new BP_Groups_Group( $group_id );
 if (bp_group_is_member($group)) {
   //do this stuff
}

>>CreativeSlice

Thanks for your help Aaron. I’ve got it nearly working with your direction and am hoping you can help with the last few details.
The

if (bp_group_is_member($group))

part doesn’t seem to be working so I did a

print_r($groups);

and found this:

BP_Groups_Group Object ( [id] => group-three [creator_id] => [name] => [slug] => [description] => [status] => [enable_forum] => [date_created] => [admins] => [mods] => [total_member_count] => )

Is there a way I can use this to see if the logged in user is a member of “group-three”?

>>Aaron

You need to get the ID number for your group. Maybe from the db.

>>caevan_sachinwalla
BP_Groups_Member::get_group_ids( $user_id );

will give you the group_ids of the groups a user is a member of.

Will this work with the new version of buddypress? how can I make a shortcode with this? thank you a lot 🙂

I also found this on buddypress.org : https://buddypress.org/support/topic/check-if-an-user-is-or-not-a-group_member/

functions.php:

if(groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug(‘VALUE’))){

...

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘setup_nav’, 1000 );
}

Can I make a shortcode with this? I would like a shortcode like this:
[group “Group1”] Content [/group]
So how could I change the VALUE in the code with the group selected in the shortcode? (“group1”) so that I can use only one shortcode for all groups I have created.
thanks 🙂

[@doremdou Participant 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @flashbytes 🙂
Did you find how to do that? I am also interested 🙂
thank you very much
