For 400 groups, write a function.

Some old info, might still work:

So you want to filter activity items based on geo-data.
Have you looked at https://codex.buddypress.org/?s=activity+loop
Specifically re bp_parse_args and custom filters.

But first, how would you assign geo-data to an activity item?
There is an activity_meta table you should be able to use for storage via bp_activity_update_meta()

What determines relevance? A field? Keywords?

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Try this:

$args = array( 
	'group_id'              => bp_get_group_id(), 
	'exclude_admins_mods'   => false,
);

$members = groups_get_group_members( $args ); 
				
foreach( $members['members'] as $member ) {
	echo $member->display_name . '<br/>';
}
				
// for reference, show all the data
echo '<pre>';
var_dump( $members );
echo '</pre>';

bp_is_my_profile() returns a bool.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

bp_displayed_user_link() and bp_displayed_user_avatar only work on a profile page.

Instead use: bp_loggedin_user_domain() and bp_loggedin_user_avatar().

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Use this function groups_get_group_members.

Try this somewhere in your groups-loop file:

$members = groups_get_group_members(); 
var_dump( $members );

Handling layout and display is up to you.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Did you try using:
apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_name', $field->name );
and / or
apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_is_required', (bool) $retval );
from bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-template.php ?

a little incontinence

It might be a little inconvenient, but nothing that will require a diaper.

It’s easy to add modified versions of these 2 files to a buddypress folder in your theme – then change or add a css class to the description.
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\groups-loop.php
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\group-header.php

Yes you need a function.
To call the function on change, you need to use ajax.
https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Use the WP function
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_term

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

On button click, use a page refresh or ajax to fire a function that calls bp_activity_add.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

You’re using that hook incorrectly.
What do you think $args represents in your function?

Here is the hook, from bp-activity\bp-activity-functions.php
do_action( 'bp_activity_posted_update', $r['content'], $r['user_id'], $activity_id );
Notice that it passes 3 separate arguments.
And $content is not one of them.
And there is no scope for a return.
And that hook runs after the activity has been created, so even if your function was less malformed, it wouldn’t work as you expect.

The correct hook is called earlier in the same function as the hook you’re using.
$add_content = apply_filters( 'bp_activity_new_update_content', $activity_content );
Adjust $activity_content and return it.

There are, unfortunately, two sets of user data.

Your imported data was placed in the _usermeta table.
This data will show in wp-admin > users > user > profile

BuddyPress uses different tables: _xprofile_
This data will show in wp-admin > users > user > extended profile
And on the front end while viewing a member profile.

You may want to write a script that migrates from usermeta to xprofile.
Study the structure of the tables used for xprofile.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

What hook are you using?

Try:

function anika_test() { 
    echo 'logged in ID: ' .  bp_loggedin_user_id();
    echo '<br>some field: ' .  xprofile_get_field_data('some field name', bp_loggedin_user_id() );
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'anika_test' );

bp_displayed_user_id() needs to be called in the context of a profile.
Look at the template files for an appropriate hook.

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

It’d be a lot easier to answer your questions if you were explicit about the functions you’re using, for example: bp_group_list_admins()

Since it’s called in a template, overload the template and make a call to your own version of that function that sets ‘type’ to whatever you want.

BP_Group_Member_Query is a class extension of BP_User_Query
Take a look at the code examples here:

BP_User_Query

Did you read: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/the-bp-global/

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Did you try:
bp_get_group_slug();

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

There are several functions re the group creator that are available in the groups loop.
For example: bp_group_creator_username()
Look in bp-groups\bp-groups-template.php

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Try this…

Make a template overload of this file:
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php

In that new file, change this:
<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>

to this, assuming the id of your base group is 1

<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
    <?php if( bp_get_the_profile_group_id() != 1 ) : ?>

And add an <?php endif; ?> before the <?php endwhile; ?> near the bottom of the page.

Do the same for:
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\edit.php

If you mean add a link to navigation, you can do that via …/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

If you want to add it elsewhere, it’s just a simple link.

It sounds like you are having trouble adding the link in a specific place.
So you need to be specific about that place.

>…the page I created for the Members.

How did you create that page?
You should just create a page titled ‘Members’. The page should be blank.
You then assign that page to the Members component through Settings > BuddyPress
You should then be able to see a listing of all active members by visiting:
…yoursite.com/members/

Or is your issue just about navigation?

[@shanebp Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Please use the code button.

You need to include the user id:
echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Undergraduate College/University', $current_user->ID );
