Think I have figured out how best to work this. For anyone that may need it sometime the code I used was:

<?php if ( 1 == bp_get_the_profile_group_id()) : ?>
				 
<h4>About Me</h4>
				
<?php endif; ?>

With 1 == the profile tab where I need to add my custom HTML. If anyone has alternative solutions I’m happy to hear them.

Found the answer by reading this topic.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-group-id-while-in-activity-loop-php/

The word item_id got me thinking-/searching in the Core files before I found this tag.

<?php bp_activity_item_id(); ?>

– It will Echo just a plain ID number of the related Group the activity is posted in. Just what I needed, I maybe was too focused on the word ‘group’ and searching to much about group_id’s.

@danbp

I may be wrong but echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' ) won’t necessarily echo the “Email” field in profile group 2. All if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=2') ) does is check if profile group 2 exists.

The problem is I need to modify the core files and add a plugin at the same time so a user can change the Throttling settings in his WordPress backend.

I really tried to simple write a plugin and skip the core files modifications, but it’s just not working out. Maybe you can help out here, I will post the 3 core file functions which I modified as well as the plugin code which I wrote. If you can figure out a way for me to not modify the core files and still get Throttling to work, share your code.

4- The Buddypress Throttling Plugin Code

<?php
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'plugin_menu' );

function plugin_menu() {
	// add_options_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function);
	add_options_page( 'Buddypress Throttling | Settings', 'Buddypress Throttling', 'manage_options', 'buddypress_throttling', 'buddypress_throttling_options' );
}

function buddypress_throttling_options() {

    //must check that the user has the required capability 
    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
     	WP_die( __('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.') );
    }

    // variables for the field and option names 
    $hidden_field_name = 'submit_hidden';

    // See if the user has posted us some information
    // If they did, this hidden field will be set to 'Y'
    if( isset($_POST[ $hidden_field_name ]) && $_POST[ $hidden_field_name ] == 'Y' ) 
	{
		// Activity
		$bp_activity_time_val =  ( intval($_POST["bt_activity_time"]) <= 0 ) ? 0 : $_POST ["bt_activity_time"];
		update_option( "bt_activity_time", $bp_activity_time_val );
		
		$bp_activity_message_val =  ( isset($_POST["bt_activity_message"]) && $_POST["bt_activity_message"] != "" ) ? $_POST["bt_activity_message"] : "Please wait before posting again";
		update_option( "bt_activity_message", $bp_activity_message_val );
		?>
		
		<div class="updated"><p><strong><?php _e('Settings saved.', 'menu-test' ); ?></strong></p></div>
		<?php
	}
	
	// Activity read values
	$bt_activity_time = get_option( "bt_activity_time" );
	$bt_activity_time = (intval($bt_activity_time) <= 0) ? 0 : $bt_activity_time;
	$bt_activity_message = get_option( "bt_activity_message" );
	$bt_activity_message = ($bt_activity_message) ? $bt_activity_message : "Please wait before posting again";
	
	echo '<div class="wrap">';
		echo "<h2>" . __( 'Buddypress Throttling Settings', 'menu-test' ) . "</h2>";
		?>
	
		<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
			<input type="hidden" name="<?php echo $hidden_field_name; ?>" value="Y">	
			<div class="bt-plugin">
				<style>
					.bt-plugin span { display: inline-block; width: 120px; margin-left: 20px }
					.bt-plugin textarea {width: 400px}
				</style>
				<h3><?php _e("On Activity Page: ", 'menu-test' ); ?></h3>
				<p><span>Throttling Time:</span><input type="text" name="bt_activity_time" value="<?php echo $bt_activity_time; ?>" size="20"> (in seconds)</p>
				<p><span>Message:</span><textarea name="bt_activity_message" rows="3"><?php echo $bt_activity_message; ?></textarea></p>
			</div>
			<p class="submit">
			<input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button-primary" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Save Changes') ?>" />
			</p>
		</form>
	</div>
<?php
}

Test it out locally, just replace the specified functions in these files with the functions I wrote, add the plugin code in a php file and save it under your Plugins directory (and activate it in the backend). The Plugin code will allow you to set the number of seconds for throttling as well as the message the user will see when he’s flooding.

Put this puzzle pieces together and you got Flooding control (for the activity page for now), which can easily be done for friend requests @bphelp).

FYI, due to time constrains just had to edit source: line 1235 on /buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php – display_name ASC

$members = $wpdb->get_results( apply_filters( ‘bp_group_members_user_join_filter’, $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT m.user_id, m.date_modified, m.is_banned, u.user_login, u.user_nicename, u.user_email, pd.value as display_name FROM {$bp->groups->table_name_members} m, {$wpdb->users} u, {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd WHERE u.ID = m.user_id AND u.ID = pd.user_id AND pd.field_id = 1 AND group_id = %d AND is_confirmed = 1 {$banned_sql} {$exclude_admins_sql} {$exclude_sql} ORDER BY display_name ASC {$pag_sql}”, $group_id ) ) );
} else {
$members = $wpdb->get_results( apply_filters( ‘bp_group_members_user_join_filter’, $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT m.user_id, m.date_modified, m.is_banned, u.user_login, u.user_nicename, u.user_email, u.display_name FROM {$bp->groups->table_name_members} m, {$wpdb->users} u WHERE u.ID = m.user_id AND group_id = %d AND is_confirmed = 1 {$banned_sql} {$exclude_admins_sql} {$exclude_sql} ORDER BY display_name ASC {$pag_sql}”, $group_id ) ) );
}

@shanebp Thanks for those hints!!

Wondering if I could pay you for this small “add_filter” ?

If so, let me know – I can pay PayPal instantly!

I would just need :

if ($group_id == 1) { email this to user accepted }

Thanks!!

Problem is that groups_create_group() doesn’t set the total_member_count — so subsequent calls to set up the Groups Template fail to load the groups.

We worked around by explicitly setting: groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘total_member_count’, (int) groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘total_member_count’) + 1 );

Will add to trac as bug.

I have also tried leaving the first lines in “edit.php” alone and adding to the bp_get_current_profile_group_id() function. I’m not nearly as smart as I thought I was. Ha!

function bp_current_profile_group_id() {
echo bp_get_current_profile_group_id();
}
function bp_get_current_profile_group_id() {

if ( !$profile_group_id = bp_action_variable( 1 ) )
$profile_group_id = 1;{
elseif (custom_position (‘Actor’));
echo ‘Actor’;
$profile_group_id = 2;{
elseif ();
}
}

return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_current_profile_group_id’, $profile_group_id ); // admin/profile/edit/[group-id]
}

Okay, I feel like this one should work, but it’s showing not really making anything happen…

in my bp-custom file (lifted heavily from John James Jacoby’s informative post here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/calling-specific-profile-fields-individually/#post-55905):

http://pastebin.com/UQNYWcax

In my edit.php file, I replaced “bp_get_current_profile_group_id()” with the custom_position function

Thanks again!

Putting my IF statement into a function called “position_type”, I thought this could work, but still no dice:

if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=’ . bp_get_current_profile_group_id(position_type) ) ) :
while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group();

Thanks again, everyone.

I’m sure I need to change something in this line from the edit.php to get the desired effect:

http://pastebin.com/tqWJcbj7

But I can’t quite figure out what “bp_get_current_profile_group_id” function is *doing* in the xprofile template file. Or what I could do to it to make it behave the way I want it to without ruining its current function…

Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

Sorry for bumping but i really need help,
after hours of research i can not find a solution.

Definitly, my: Group Members Loop doesn´t work. I have tried to replace him with the standard loop from the Documentation. But also this breaks.

I tried to get group id and do it on this way:

`$newgroupid = bp_get_group_id(); `

Id i get, but when i start members loop (with this id) nothing. Page breaks, means all scripts after this are stopped(Sidebar etc …).

Please HELP

I figured it out!

Here is my new line 15 (php tags stripped out so you can see them here):
`if ( bp_group_has_members( ‘group_id=’.bp_get_group_id().’&exclude_admins_mods=false’ ) ) :`

Thanks again for the help @shanebp.

Here is a copy of the code in question: http://pastebin.com/J5sEfVNt

When I hard code a group_id into Line 15, I can see members appear. However, I need it to be dynamic, as I want each group to show all members.

Thanks for the quick reply @shanebp.

I tried using:
`if ( bp_group_has_members() )`

However, when I check out the Groups directory, each group has the message “This group has no members”. Is there any way to pass the group_id to bp_group_has_members() without hard coding it?
