BuddyPress.org

@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();

Sorry the code I wanted to show has been stripped:

`global $bp;
if(bp_get_current_profile_group_id()==1)
bp_core_redirect($bp->displayed_user->domain.”profile/edit/group/2″);`

Hey,

I tried the following code from your post above, but it still isn’t working. The activity from the group I’m trying to hide is still showing up on the home page.

‘
function bp_my_activity_filter( $a, $activities ) {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component != $bp->activity->slug )
return $activities;

foreach( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {
if ( $activity->type ==’activity_update’ && $activity->item_id == ‘131’ ) {
unset( $activities->activities[$key] );
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count – 1;
$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count – 1;
}
}

$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;
return $activities;
}
add_action( ‘bp_has_activities’, ‘bp_my_activity_filter’, 10, 2 );
‘

I added the new file /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. I got the group id by adding bp_group_id() into groups-loop.php which is 131 as dictated in the code above. I did a test and removed the first if statement, and it removed all of the activity on that group’s page successfully. Everything from that group was still visible on the home page though.

By the way, thank you soooo much for helping me with this. I am totally lost on this thing.
