This isn’t doing the job either:

function field_xprofile_twitter()
{

$group_args = array(
     'name' => 'Social Networks'
     );
$group_id = xprofile_insert_field_group( $group_args ); // group's ID

xprofile_insert_field( $xfield_args );
$xfield_args =  array (
           field_group_id  => $group_id,
           name            => 'Twitter',
           can_delete      => false,
           field_order  => 1,
           is_required     => false,
           type            => 'textbox'
    );
}

I used the following code, and it’s not doing the job:

function field_xprofile_twitter()
{

$group_args = array(
     'name' => 'Social Networks'
     );
$group_id = xprofile_insert_field_group( $group_args ); // group's ID

xprofile_insert_field(
    array (
           field_group_id  => $group_id,
           name            => 'Twitter',
           can_delete      => false,
           field_order  => 1,
           is_required     => false,
           type            => 'textbox'
    )
);
}

Hope you can help 🙂

found this section in the bp-groups-activity.php
this seems to relate to the public groups, does anyone have any ideas on what to change here?

// Set the default for hide_sitewide by checking the status of the group
$hide_sitewide = false;
if ( !empty( $args[‘item_id’] ) ) {
if ( bp_get_current_group_id() == $args[‘item_id’] ) {
$group = groups_get_current_group();
} else {
$group = groups_get_group( array( ‘group_id’ => $args[‘item_id’] ) );
}

if ( isset( $group->status ) && ‘public’ != $group->status ) {
$hide_sitewide = true;
}
}

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
‘id’ => false,
‘user_id’ => bp_loggedin_user_id(),
‘action’ => ”,
‘content’ => ”,
‘primary_link’ => ”,
‘component’ => buddypress()->groups->id,
‘type’ => false,
‘item_id’ => false,
‘secondary_item_id’ => false,
‘recorded_time’ => bp_core_current_time(),
‘hide_sitewide’ => $hide_sitewide
) );

return bp_activity_add( $r );
}

i have tried changing the $hide_sitewide = false; to $hide_sitewide = true;
but this doesnt work properly.

Ok nevermind,
I was able to fix a few syntax errors and get this working. Here’s the code:

bp-custom

// Add meta fields upon group creation
function bp_group_meta_save ( $group_id ) {
	$blog = get_blog_details( get_current_blog_id(), true );
	
	$fields = array(
	'blog_id' => $blog->blog_id,
	'blog_path' => $blog->path,
	'blog_name' => $blog->blogname
	);
	
	foreach ( $fields as $field => $value ) {
	groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $field, $value );
	}
}
add_action( 'groups_created_group', 'bp_group_meta_save' );

function get_groups_by_meta ( $field, $meta_key, $meta_value ) {
	global $wpdb;
	
	if ( is_string( $meta_value) ) $meta_value = "'" . $meta_value . "'";
	
	$sql = $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT $field from {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_groups_groupmeta WHERE meta_key='$meta_key' AND meta_value=$meta_value", OBJECT );
	$res = $wpdb->get_results( $sql );
	
	return $res;
}

// Build a list of groups with the matching blog_id value
function get_groups_by_blogid ( $blog_id = 1 ) {
	$list = get_groups_by_meta( 'group_id', 'blog_id', $blog_id );
	
	if ( count( $list ) ) {
	$res = "";
	foreach ( $list as $item ) {
	$res .= $item->group_id . ',';
	}
	return substr( $res, 0, -1);
	} else {
	return FALSE;
	}
}

groups-loop

<?php 
$current_blogid = get_current_blog_id();

if ( $current_blogid > 1) {
$groups_set = get_groups_by_blogid( $current_blogid );
( $groups_set !== FALSE ) ? $extra_args = '&include=' . $groups_set : $extra_args = '&include=-1';
}

if ( bp_has_groups( bp_ajax_querystring( 'groups' ) . $extra_args ) ) : ?>

Thanks again to @juanlopez4691

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 ) {

			}

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

				}

			// Otherwise, it's a Request Membership button
			} else {

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 🙂

It’s my theme and I code WordPress themes for like 5 years now but I don’t see myself as a Developer it’s more a hobby 🙂

I’m solid at HTML-CSS and can read PHP when I see it happen but I can’t write PHP it out of the box.

This error shows up when I try to hide a complete xProfile-group-ID or just an unique xProfile-field-ID from the loop.

This is what I did.
Inside: my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
I found the start of the loop

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
....

My first thought was, maybe there are default options here to control the output of which ID’s will be visible so I started the search how the bp_has_profile() was build and looked into plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php and found this at line 150:

....

$defaults = array(
	'user_id'             => bp_displayed_user_id(),
	'profile_group_id'    => false,
	'hide_empty_groups'   => true,
	'hide_empty_fields'   => $hide_empty_fields_default,
	'fetch_fields'        => true,
	'fetch_field_data'    => true,
	'fetch_visibility_level' => $fetch_visibility_level_default,
	'exclude_groups'      => false, // Comma-separated list of profile field group IDs to exclude
	'exclude_fields'      => false  // Comma-separated list of profile field IDs to exclude
);

This looks very familiar to bbPress so my first thoughts was lets try to add one of those Array’s to the loop and overwrite the default value.
Just like this.

<?php if ( bp_has_profile( array ( 'exclude_groups' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>
...

This works perfect, it hides all xProfile-fields from the first Base primary Tab (back-end). Just like I wanted it because I didn’t want all the fields to show up front-end, I’ve got a few xProfile-fields that I use for user-customization of the profile-page. Each user can add color-codes to change the default menu-color and add background-images to their profile-page to make each profile a little more unique.
Those field-ID’s are just urls or color-codes and don’t have to be visable to the public, thats why I try to hide them front-end.

thats the right php i think, post-form.php, how could i modify a line or two here for posting my own tags?

@hugo
I´ve tried to do this. But I always get the result “This group has no members”:

First, I want to get the group_id of the group, which the member has joined.

<?php 

global $bp;
$group = groups_get_group( array( ‘group_id’ => $group_id ) );

if ( bp_group_has_members( '$group' ) ) : ?>

 
  <div id="member-count" class="pag-count">
