This thread as been very very helpful for me in creating custom group fields especially with my inadequate php experience. @4ella have you found the proper way to display the extra group information that has been stored in the groupmeta database? Ive been attempting retrieving that information to display in the group header but I had no luck. I tried looking up how to retrieve the data but I dont quite understand how bp uses commands like get_groups_description instead of using $fields and ‘field name’ or $row..
So one option would be to use the group extras and when the upgrade is available I will be able to save fields to all my groups? I was thinking about creating my own fields in mysql and then going into the php coding and manually add more fields. What do you guys think about that procedure?
