BuddyPress.org

I’ve also tried $modgroup = groups_get_group(‘group_id=1’); instead of using an array, and it fixed it for my test user, but randomly some other users can approve images, even though they aren’t members

I finally made up a solution adding some meta fields (blog_id, blog_path, blog_name) to groups on 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’ )`

When showing the list of groups for the current blog, I build a list with the groups with the blog_id value that matches the blog:

`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;
}

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;
}
}`

And finally, in the groups-loop.php template:

`$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 ) ) : ?>`

In my wp-config.php, I have defined BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG as true, and also a common place to upload user avatars:

`//Buddypress multi-sitio
define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

//Avatares de usuario comunes a toda la red multisitio
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, “http://mainblog/wp-content/uploads” );
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH’, ‘F:/xampp/www/mainblog/wp-content/uploads’ );`

I don’t know if this is a overly complicated solution. I suspect Buddypess 1.6 can deal with this situation (segregated groups, activity, forums but common user base) in a far more simple way, but I have no idea how.

Any clues?

@r-a-y OK that didn’t quite work for me but this did:

`function enable_nav_item () {

global $bp;

if ( $bp->groups->current_group->id == MY_GROUP_ID )
return true;
else
return false;
}`

I’m not sure why this worked – I got the idea from this old thread. It would be good to know why if someone can explain it to me.

The way I see it, in order to complete this I now need to create individual versions of the complete code for each group where I require these custom tabs. I am sure there’s vastly more elegant ways of doing this but with my meagre PHP knowledge this is the best I can muster for now!

@rogercoathup thanks to your help I just achieved what I wanted

I’m doing this now and it’s working fine (still will polish it a bit more):

if ( !isset( $bp->groups->current_group ) || !$bp->groups->current_group || $gid != $bp->groups->current_group->id ) {
$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $gid ) );
} else {
$group = $bp->groups->current_group;
};

groups_record_activity( array(
'action'  => apply_filters( 'groups_activity_new_update_action', sprintf( __( '%1$s publicó una actualización en %2$s', 'buddypress'), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '<a href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . '">' . esc_attr( bp_get_group_name( $group ) ) . '</a>' ) ),
'content'   => $content,
'type'    => $type,
'item_id' => $gid,
'user_id' => $user_id
)
)

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

And the log entry showing an error occuring whenever I try to work with Group forums:
WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress.wp_bb_topics’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT t.*, g.id as object_id, g.name as object_name, g.slug as object_slug FROM wp_bb_topics AS t JOIN wp_12_bp_groups AS g LEFT JOIN wp_12_bp_groups_groupmeta AS gm ON g.id = gm.group_id WHERE (gm.meta_key = ‘forum_id’ AND gm.meta_value = t.forum_id) AND t.forum_id = ’16’ AND t.topic_status = ‘0’ ORDER BY t.topic_time DESC LIMIT 20 made by require, wp, WP->main, do_action_ref_array, call_user_func_array, bp_screens, do_action, call_user_func_array, groups_screen_group_forum, bp_core_load_template, load_template, require_once, locate_template, load_template, require_once, locate_template, load_template, require_once, bp_has_forum_topics, BP_Forums_Template_Forum->__construct, bp_forums_get_forum_topics, BB_Query->BB_Query, BB_Query->query

I found this action too — but need some assistance!
do_action( ‘groups_join_group’, $group_id, $user_id )

hmm, can I just use this?
`groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $meta_key, $meta_value ); `

What is meta key and meta value though?

@mrjarbenne Thanks for the links, But those are paid plugins and I am all about the open source! especially if it is for wordpress

@djpaul Hey was wondering if you might help me out with some idea concepts. I got the whole settings to work and added my own page to the nav bar, that part was easy. However I hit a topping point.

I thought it would be easier to check if an update was part of a group AND if the user is part of that group. However I am finding it difficult to check this.

I noticed that in the activity there is a item_id which if it is a group update it is the group Id … but is there any other way to check to see if the activity_update is a group other than this? What about changing the content type to activity_group_update or something… Right now I have this and it seems totally hackish and not good at all. Seems to work to check though but also is invalid for any other update other than a group one….
` global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$hide_public_groups = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, ‘hide_public_groups’ );
$hide_update = false;
if ( $hide_public_groups[0] == “yes” ) {
global $activities_template;
$group_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;

$is_member_of_group = check_is_member_of_group( $current_user->ID, $group_id );
//echo $is_member_of_group;
if ( $is_member_of_group ) {
//this is working but is filtering out any other post
//need to check for if this is not a group post to just let it slide.
//maybe it is better to grab the groups_loop real quick and then just query for this specific group and then make sure it is public and is member….
//echo “no hide”;
//var_dump($group);
} else {
//echo “hide it”;
//$hide_update = true;

}
} `

Also just a note the check_is_member_of_group i stole from the class Bp_Groups_Member…
Any ideas anyone? I know this should be easier and I am way over thinking it.. It was late last night…

I tried the bp-default theme, I’m not using any other BuddyPress plugins.

Found a solution – the problem is a cookie set by BuddyPress that isn’t changing correctly or has the wrong expiration time.

Line 130 of bp-groups-actions.php (in the bp-groups folder):
setcookie( ‘bp_new_group_id’, $bp->groups->new_group_id, time()+60*60*24, COOKIEPATH );

I commented this line out. You could also change the time to a shorter time so bots don’t create groups, is that why this is in there? As it is now, this cookie prevents anyone from creating more than 1 group per 24 hours. Why?

OK. I seem to have found a solution, so I’m gonna share it here:

First, I replaced the groups_screen_group_admin_delete_group with a slightly changed version where I call a custom function after this line:
`do_action( ‘groups_before_group_deleted’, $bp->groups->current_group->id );`

Remember to register this correctly! In my case:
`
remove_action( ‘bp_screens’, ‘groups_screen_group_admin_delete_group’ );
add_action( ‘bp_screens’, ‘myplugin_groups_screen_group_admin_delete_group’ );
`

where ‘myplugin_groups_screen_group_admin_delete_group’ is the name of the function.

The function I call makes use of groups_delete_group_forum_topic( $topic_id ) and bb_delete_forum( $forum_id ). This way, you delete the group and keep the db tidy!
`
$forum_id_array = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare(“
SELECT forum_id FROM wp_bb_forums
WHERE forum_id = (
SELECT meta_value
FROM wp_bp_groups_groupmeta
WHERE meta_key = ‘forum_id’
AND group_id = %s
) ;”
, $group_id));
$forum_id = $forum_id_array[0]->forum_id;
$topic_id_array = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare(“
SELECT topic_id FROM wp_bb_posts
WHERE forum_id = %s;”
, $forum_id));

foreach ($topic_id_array as $value) {
groups_delete_group_forum_topic( $value->topic_id );
}
bb_delete_forum( $forum_id );
`

As there was a php error if the user who uses the forum directory is not logged in the following modification was done:

You also need to add the functionality that logged in users can potentially see all forums (the above code then filters out forums the user is not member of):

after

add

I still struggle to get this view running corectly.

I managed to find out how to pull all group ID’s for a given userid:

SELECT group_id FROM `xyz_bp_groups_members` where `user_id` = 1

And how to get all forum_id’s for a given group:

SELECT meta_value FROM `xyz_bp_groups_groupmeta` where group_id = 1 and meta_key = ‘forum_id’

My idea was to do a join as i didn’t know how to follow your directions correctly @boonebgorges.
Therefore i tried to modify the original $sql (line 83 in bp-group-filters.php):

$sql .= ‘JOIN ‘ . $bp->groups->table_name . ‘ AS g LEFT JOIN ‘ . $bp->groups->table_name_groupmeta . ‘ AS gm ON g.id = gm.group_id ‘;

with this extended version:

$sql .= ‘JOIN ‘ . $bp->groups->table_name . ‘ AS g LEFT JOIN ‘ . $bp->groups->table_name_groupmeta . ‘ AS gm, oba_bp_groups_members AS gu ON g.id = gm.group_id AND gu.group_id = gm.group_id’;

unfortunately i have not enough know-how how the buddypress-core is working correctly. Any hints on how to do this properly?

Many Thanks!

Thanks both for the feedback!… looking into xprofile_insert_field() in bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-functions.php. This appears to be the function for adding a new profile field to the BP system.

`function xprofile_insert_field( $args = ” ) {
global $bp;

extract( $args );

/**
* Possible parameters (pass as assoc array):
* ‘field_id’
* ‘field_group_id’
* ‘parent_id’
* ‘type’
* ‘name’
* ‘description’
* ‘is_required’
* ‘can_delete’
* ‘field_order’
* ‘order_by’
* ‘is_default_option’
* ‘option_order’
*/

// Check we have the minimum details
if ( !$field_group_id )
return false;

// Check this is a valid field type
if ( !in_array( $type, (array) $bp->profile->field_types ) )
return false;

// Instantiate a new field object
if ( $field_id )
$field = new BP_XProfile_Field( $field_id );
else
$field = new BP_XProfile_Field;

$field->group_id = $field_group_id;

if ( !empty( $parent_id ) )
$field->parent_id = $parent_id;

if ( !empty( $type ) )
$field->type = $type;

if ( !empty( $name ) )
$field->name = $name;

if ( !empty( $description ) )
$field->description = $description;

if ( !empty( $is_required ) )
$field->is_required = $is_required;

if ( !empty( $can_delete ) )
$field->can_delete = $can_delete;

if ( !empty( $field_order ) )
$field->field_order = $field_order;

if ( !empty( $order_by ) )
$field->order_by = $order_by;

if ( !empty( $is_default_option ) )
$field->is_default_option = $is_default_option;

if ( !empty( $option_order ) )
$field->option_order = $option_order;

return $field->save();
}
`
All I really need to do is add a little record into the existing “wp_bp_xprofile_data” table

This below code works however it’s definately not Open source friendly or BP friendly

`

// grab this users nicename

$user = get_userdata( $iallusersUserID );
$nicename = $user->user_nicename;
$last_udpated = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’);

// create a new record in bp_xprofile_data and add the nicename

$wpdb->insert(
‘wp_bp_xprofile_data’,
array(
‘field_id’ => 1,
‘user_id’ => $iallusersUserID,
‘value’ => $nicename,
‘last_updated’ => $last_udpated
),
array(
‘%d’,
‘%d’,
‘%s’,
‘%s’
)
);
`

Any thoughts? Thanks again!

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