You said group admins were a special case and not covered in the @mods command, would it be possible to have a shout to both admins and mods?
I’ve just released version 1.0.1 which lets you use both @moderators and @administrators within a group to mention group moderators and administrators respectively.
@danbp Thanks for testing! I don’t think everyone would want this in core because some websites need groups to have the same name. I could package it up as a plugin if there’s much interest in it?
Also should i be using the search_groups method for searching for an existing group with the same name or is there a different way?
BP_Groups_Group::search_groups() will get you a list of groups that match the first argument you pass to it. But the snag is, name and description matches are returned. We only want name matches.
An alternative would be to use BP_Groups_Group::group_exists( $slug ). This method will return either the ID of the group if one is found, else null. Keep in mind, the custom function you have hooked to groups_group_before_save will be passed the value of $slug.
Is it possible to do the same with Events? For example in Events Manager plugin?
I’m not familiar with the plugin but likely you can do the same sort of thing. Drop the plugin author the same question on their support forum. Hopefully they’ll get back to you with the info.
so should we use
bp_core_add_message
function to show the user an error?
Yes, the bp_core_add_message() function will display a message you provide after a page reload. Be sure you have do_action( 'template_notices' ); in your template because the function will use that hook.
It’ll only change these links: #subnav ul li.current a. If you want it to change all links within the subnav list items and not just the current one, you can do this:
#subnav ul li a {
color: #e2e419;
font-weight: bold;
}
Yes. You can use the groups_group_before_save hook to check if the name already exists. If so, set the name to and empty string. This will result in the BP_Groups_Group::save() method returning false, and no group being created. Note, you’ll probably also want to give the user some kind of useful message to tell them what’s happened.
Can you describe the steps you took? Also provide any error messages you got along the way. We also need details of your environment (see When Asking for Support).
Which theme is that? BuddyPress doesn’t ask for 2 usernames. The WordPress username and the BuddyPress username are one and the same. It looks as though your theme is asking for it twice
