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?

Here’s one of many errors we get, this one is currently showing in the sidebar Groups widget..

WordPress database error: [Out of memory (Needed 12582880 bytes)]
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT g.id) FROM wp_bp_groups g, wp_bp_groups_members gm1, wp_bp_groups_groupmeta gm2 WHERE g.id = gm1.group_id AND g.id = gm2.group_id AND gm2.meta_key = ‘last_activity’

Alright, here’s where I am at. However, it seems to be riddled with errors. Anybody see anything glaringly wrong with my plugin? I’m getting parsing errors around line 7

well, worked , Thanks @rogercoathup

Thanks @roger , All know that without having the group_id , no one canot perform the ‘groups_join_group’ , But I need this group_id as follows,

function get_group()

{

return group_id();

}

add_action(‘groups_join_group’,’get_group’);

I need the get_group() function should return the group_id where it is hooked into ‘groups_join_group’ as add_action.

@Roger you can try more 🙂

Does any one can get this 🙂 thanks

Aha. Problems.

So, following the advice of @modemlooper I got this working just fine. Anything created under Buddypress custom user fields can display fine in the bbPress loops, using something like this:

`
$user_location = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Location’, bbp_get_reply_author_id() ) ;
if (strlen($user_location) > 0 ) :
echo ‘

Location: ‘ . $user_location . ‘

‘;
endif;
`

However, how do I make sure I follow the custom fields’ restrictions regarding visibility? In BuddyPress we can create a custom field and set its visibility to be either:
1) Anyone
2) Logged In Users
3) My Friends

Furthermore, these fields’ visibility can be allowed to be changed by each user.

So, before simply displaying a custom field for just everyone, I need to run the required checks to verify that it should be displayed for the anonymous/logged-in user. I tried getting a reference to the actual field, like this but the var_dump() doesn’t help me much:

`$user_location_field = xprofile_get_field( ‘Location’, bbp_get_reply_author_id() ) ;`

This is the var_dump($user_location_field):

`object(BP_XProfile_Field)[29]
public ‘id’ => null
public ‘group_id’ => null
public ‘parent_id’ => null
public ‘type’ => null
public ‘name’ => null
public ‘description’ => null
public ‘is_required’ => null
public ‘can_delete’ => null
public ‘field_order’ => null
public ‘option_order’ => null
public ‘order_by’ => null
public ‘is_default_option’ => null
public ‘default_visibility’ => null
public ‘allow_custom_visibility’ => string ‘allowed’ (length=7)
public ‘data’ => null
public ‘message’ => null
public ‘message_type’ => string ‘err’ (length=3)`

Even though I see a couple of public methods like “default_visibility()” and “allow_custom_visibility()”, they don’t really help. Their value doesn’t even change even when I change the field properties in the CMS.

Finally sorted something out.

==========================================================================
Add the following to your edit.php file:
`

<?php if(bp_get_current_profile_group_id()==2)> //change this to the group id you want to restrict

These field have been locked by the Administrator. //or whatever you want to say
`
==========================================================================
Fix this line to include the “<?php" before the if like so:
`<?php if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=' . bp_get_current_profile_group_id() ) ) :`

==========================================================================
insert this to the second last line:
“

==========================================================================

@modemlooper,

Tried `bp_group_id()` — no luck.

@modemlooper:

`
if (groups_is_user_mod( get_current_user_id(), $guid ) == “1”) return;
elseif (groups_is_user_admin( get_current_user_id(), $guid ) == “1”) return;
else …
`

Everything else works — `groups_is_user_mod()`, `groups_is_user_admin()`, and `get_current_user_id()`.

Right now I have hardcoded the Group ID and assigned it to var $guid. But I want to do this dynamically so I don’t have to manually hardcode certain group ids.

Here’s what I want to get to work:

`
if (groups_is_user_mod( get_current_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() ) == “1”) return;
elseif (groups_is_user_admin( get_current_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() ) == “1”) return;
`

Thanks for helping !

Thanks @modemlooper.

My question is not how to display it. My question is how to capture it.

Currently I assign it to a variable like this `$guid = bp_get_group_id();`

The problem is that while I am in the loop of groups & discussions, the current group id is not being captured. `bp_get_group_id()` returns an empty string or NULL.

Also, I issued a bug report on it as well.

Any experts or specialists or experienced BuddyPress types out there that know how to capture the `$group_id` so I can use it in the following?

`groups_is_user_mod( $user_id, $group_id )`

Is it even possible?

Found it
`groups_is_user_mod( $user_id, $group_id )`

But now I need to find out how to capture the current group id. Right now I am hard coding it and I don’t want to do it that way.

Does anyone know how to retrieve the current Group ID?

I have a working code now, the following code is able to insert a select box profile field to the ‘base’ group with any long list of options that might be hard to insert manually through the user interface. this specific example will insert a profile field with the title of “Country” that contains all countries as options. Use this code in your `functions.php` or `bp-custom.php` file and you will notice a new profile field with the title of “Country” the next time you visit the Base group in Profile Fields admin area. You can then update and change the options to suit your needs and after that click “Save” button to register this field.

Be aware that the following code will not add a new “Country” profile field as long as a profile field with the title of “Country” already exists, meaning that if you change the title to “List of Countries” for example, it will add a new profile field with the title of “Country” to your profile field, so I think it is better to use this code only once and whenever you need to insert a long listed profile field, and then remove the code from `functions.php` or `bp-custom.php` and keep on other place for future use.
`
add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘add_custom_country_list’); // That might not be the perfect hook to use
function add_custom_country_list() {
if (xprofile_get_field_id_from_name(‘Country’)) return;
$country_list_args = array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘type’ => ‘selectbox’,
‘name’ => ‘Country’,
‘description’ => ‘Please select your country’,
‘is_required’ => true,
‘can_delete’ => false,
‘order_by’ => ‘default’
);
$country_list_id = xprofile_insert_field($country_list_args);
if ($country_list_id) {
$countries = array(‘USA’,’Germany’,’England’); // Google for “country list php” and replace this one
foreach ($countries as $i => $country) {
xprofile_insert_field(array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘parent_id’ => $country_list_id,
‘type’ => ‘selectbox’, // it is ‘selectbox’ not ‘option’
‘name’ => $country,
‘option_order’ => $i+1
));
}
}
}
`

My specific problem is that I need to add a country select box to the extended user profile that will appear in registration form and I don’t want to add it through the admin panel because (1) it is hard to enter 256 countries manually and (2) I will need multiple instances of that list.

Now I came up with the following code after a while of digging into the core files of BuddyPress, the first part that add the ‘Country’ `selectbox` works fine, but the second part which is supposed to add the countries options does not wok, I get an empty `selectbox` that is labeled “Country” without any options:

`
add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘add_custom_country_list’); // That might not be the perfect hook to use
function add_custom_country_list() {
if (xprofile_get_field_id_from_name(‘Country’)) return;
$country_list_args = array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘type’ => ‘selectbox’,
‘name’ => ‘Country’,
‘Description’ => ‘Please select your country’,
‘is_required’ => true,
‘can_delete’ => false,
‘order_by’ => ‘default’
);
$country_list_id = xprofile_insert_field($country_list_args); // It work till here – The following part does not work
if ($country_list_id) {
$country_list = array(‘USA’,’Germany’,’England’); // To be replaced with the full country list
foreach ($country_list as $i => $country) {
xprofile_insert_field(array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘parent_id’ => $country_list_id,
‘type’ => ‘option’,
‘name’ => $country,
‘option_order’ => $i+1
));
}
}
}
`
Can anyone help me about what is wrong with this code? Thanks.

For anyone who may find this,and is looking to do what I did here is the code:

`function bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links( $avatar ) {
global $activities_template;

switch ( $activities_template->activity->component ) {
case ‘groups’ :
$item_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;
$group = groups_get_group( array( ‘group_id’ => $item_id ) );
$url = apply_filters( ‘bp_get_group_permalink’, trailingslashit( bp_get_root_domain() . ‘/’ . bp_get_groups_root_slug() . ‘/’ . $group->slug . ‘/’ ) );
break;
case ‘blogs’ :
break;
case ‘friends’ :
$item_id = $activities_template->activity->secondary_item_id;
$url = bp_core_get_user_domain($item_id);
break;
default :
break;

}
if ( !empty( $url ) ) {
$avatar = ‘‘ . $avatar . ‘‘;
}
return $avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar’, ‘bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links’ );`
