@twodeuces I’m trying to make it so when a user clicks “Join group” they are taking to the group’s page, instead of left on the directory. could you provide me with some clues on how to do that?

cool thanks!

However, it doesn’t handle the assignment process when a group is created, any hints?

Found this code on how to manage roles in Buddypress: http://cleverness.org/2011/01/27/updated-buddypress-user-roles-code/

Bump. I agree it should at the least make its way onto a Roadmap. If I’m understanding this correctly, there is no unified user-management system in the code base itself. I know I’m significantly hacking a number of Buddypress features to work around this issue in two of my current projects, and it seems like this missing functionality is a barrier to BuddyPress’s evolution.

This worked. The proper syntax for group id: $team_id = bp_get_group_id();

[sirspacey]

Did you find any answers on how to get the group id?

Any word on a better function for this?

btw, yes, I did declare global $bp; earlier in this code

Code won’t paste, here’s the link: http://pastebin.com/KbcEd4Vf

Thanks 4ella. I think this is a common sense extension of BuddyPress, so I’m looking at sponsoring a plugin for the community. If I do, any advice on how let the community know in addition to putting it on WordPress?
