This is wrong. bp_get_group_id(get_current_user_id());
Look up that function to see how it is used.

Ask LearnDash how to get the group id on the LearnDash screen that you want to use.

Try using bp_get_group_id().
If you can get the group id, then use groups_get_group_admins( $group_id ) to get the group admins.
Pull out the user ids of the group admins and use the ids to get the user data that you want.

NOTE: you should be asking LearnDash these questions.
By asking them here, you are asking volunteers to answer questions about a third-party premium plugin.
Therefore, you most likely won’t get much assistance here.

Where did you find that code?

Have you tried to replace it by:
SELECT * FROM bp_xprofile_fields WHERE parent_id = 0 AND group_id > 1

@jeffwilliams-1,

@pare81,

did you respect the size instruction ? Sizes are theme dependant and vary from one install to another.
When it comes to image issues under BP, you’ll need to test your install without any plugin and only a Twenty theme active (never another one) as first and check if you can upload medias.
If OK, you activate BP and check again.

You may also verify that the attachment folder exist and has eventually the correct write rights on the server: wp-content/uploads/buddypress/members/USER_ID/cover-image/ Similar path may exist for groups, which use /groups/GROUP_ID/ instead of /members/USER_ID/

If all is OK with Twenty, WP and BP, you can activate your plugins, one by one and testing after each. If still OK, you activate or install the definitive theme.

If things went wrong at this stage, you can be sure there is an issue with YOU or the theme.

You because you have omit a setting or did a wrong setting, or the theme, because all was ok while using a Twenty…

I forgot to subscribe to the post via email. The code below will give you the group names instead of group ID.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how to sort by Groups at the moment. The reason is because Orders are a post type and doesn’t necessarily have a relation to BuddyPress groups. So there isn’t an immediate query I can think of to make this sortable. I hope that makes sense.

add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'MY_COLUMNS_FUNCTION' );
function MY_COLUMNS_FUNCTION( $columns ) {
	$new_columns = ( is_array( $columns ) ) ? $columns : array();
	unset( $new_columns['order_actions'] );

	//edit this for you column(s)
	//all of your columns will be added before the actions column
	$new_columns['MY_COLUMN_ID_1'] = 'סניף';
	//stop editing

	$new_columns['order_actions'] = $columns['order_actions'];
	return $new_columns;
}

add_action( 'manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column', 'MY_COLUMNS_VALUES_FUNCTION', 2 );
function MY_COLUMNS_VALUES_FUNCTION( $column ) {
	global $post;
	// order id
	$order_id = $post->ID;
	// get Order object
	$order = new WC_Order( $order_id );
	// get customer user id
	$user_id = $order->user_id;
	//start editing, I was saving my fields for the orders as custom post meta
	//if you did the same, follow this code
	if ( $column == 'MY_COLUMN_ID_1' && $user_id ) {

		// get user groups
		$groups = groups_get_user_groups( $user_id );

		if ( ! empty( $groups ) && ! empty( $groups['groups'] ) ) {
			$group_list = array();
			foreach ( $groups['groups'] as $key => $group_id ) {
				$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) );
				$group_list[] = $group->name;
			}
			// let's make a comma separated list of the group IDs
			echo implode( ', ', $group_list );

			//if you would like to get just one group ID, uncomment the following
			//echo $groups['groups'][0];

		}
	}
	//stop editing
}

add_filter( "manage_edit-shop_order_sortable_columns", 'MY_COLUMNS_SORT_FUNCTION' );
function MY_COLUMNS_SORT_FUNCTION( $columns ) {
	$custom = array(
		//start editing

		'MY_COLUMN_ID_1'    => 'MY_COLUMN_1_POST_META_ID'

		//stop editing
	);
	return wp_parse_args( $custom, $columns );
}

You need to specify the object.

 $attachment = bp_attachments_get_attachment( 'url', array( 
   'object_dir' => 'groups',  
   'item_id' => $group_id,  
) );

The ultimate tutorial to add wp_editor to What’s New textarea (on Site, Members and Group Activities pages).

Warning
The What’s New feature was never intended to publish posts or formatted text. It was imagined for brief announcement or instant conversation. That’s why this textarea is texturized and doesn’t allow much HTML tags. It is also ajaxified and need the original BP ID to work.
You will use it at your own risk.

The following trick will let you remove the existing textarea from the template and replace it with a custom wp_editor. And it will be very customized ! For example, you will not have the visual tab, but only his HTML version, similar to the one you see on this forum for example.

Required:
BuddyPress activated
a working child theme
some understanding of HTML and php grammar

This trick was succesfully tested on a single install with WP 4.6, BP 2.6.2 and a Twenty Sixteen child theme.

Start !
Read from here how to remove the textarea in post-form.php

The code to remove is line 40 and looks like this:

<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"
	<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>data-suggestions-group-id="<?php echo esc_attr( (int) bp_get_current_group_id() ); ?>" <?php endif; ?>
><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>

You replace it by:

<?php
$content = '';
$editor_id = 'whats-new';
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id );
?>

As the visual edit tab doesn’t work, you must deactivate it. In your child-theme functions.php, add this:
add_filter( 'user_can_richedit' , '__return_false', 50 );

And that’s it !

If you want also rich edit for activity comments, which i didn’t recommand for sites who have many comments, you can use the same technique as above, with some more settings. Note that each comment has is own ID and that each comment editor should also have an unique ID.

First, you need to remove the textarea from (child-theme/buddypress/)activity/entry.php
You remove this:
<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>
and replace it by

<?php
$id             = bp_get_activity_id();
$content	= '';
$editor_id	= 'ac-input-'. $id;
$settings	= array( 
			'textarea_name'	=> 'ac_input_'. $id,
			'editor_class'	=> 'ac-input bp-suggestions'
		);
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
?>

With Twenty Sixteen, i first couldn’t see the Post Update button and the option selector. I got it with this little CSS adjustment (in child-theme/style.css).

div#whats-new-options { display: block!important;}

Function reference: wp_editor.

First you are creating a custom function called automatic_group_membership() this takes one parameter $user_id.

This function terminates if there is no $user_id provided, meaning you don’t run rogue code and your site is more optimised.

When a $user_id is present the groups_accept_invite() function is run. This function is a BuddyPress core function you can find it in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-functions.php on line 1400.

It accepts two parameters a $user_id and a $group_id. You need both in order to create the relationship.

This function is “hooked” with add_action() which is a WordPress core function. This function add_action() has many hooks available for various situations. You can read more about hooks here https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks.

Essentially it’s an opportunity to run your own code against WordPress core, or in this case BuddyPress core. BuddyPress provides the hook and we use them to achieve cool things.

So the hook in this case is bp_core_activated_user and the code we want to run when this hook is available would be the customer function automatic_group_membership which is passed as a second parameter.

I’m not sure where the $user_id gets populated along the way here, nor the $group_id maybe someone can help?

Otherwise, I would do this not on activation but when a user has logged in for the first time.

Then we have access to global $bp which contains a loggedin_user->id which can be used with this function and you could manually set the $group_id in bp-custom.php

Hi,

For a newbie like me, could I kindly ask to see how the code:

function automatic_group_membership( $user_id ) {
if( !$user_id ) return false;

groups_accept_invite( $user_id, $group_id );
}
add_action( ‘bp_core_activated_user’, ‘automatic_group_membership’ );

As its supposed to look so its ready for use in bp-custom.php

Kind regards and have a nice Sunday.

@5high I have come across that code but didn’t know if it would be appropriate since I am not using s2 membership plugin.
one quick question. Where do you put the group you want joined. Is it as simple as replacing the $group_id string with the group id number?

Thanks for the feedback and assistance.

@danbp yeah, sorry about that :). Reason I went a bit further was when working on a theme earlier I was using a function get_displayed_group_id() or something with a similar name. I was expecting a return value but it was echoing no matter where I placed this.

Ended up using a different method.

Just wondered if there were other functions inside BuddyPress that looked like a return value but had output instead.

Menus aren’t very php-friendly, usually, but you could do something like this:

<?php
if ( groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id_of_group_A ) ) {
	$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id_of_group_A ) );
	?>
	<li><a href="<?php echo bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'forum/'; ?>"><?php bp_group_name( $group ) ?> Forum</a></li>
	<?php
}

You may have to hook onto wp_nav_menu_items or similar to inject the link. It depends on your theme. That would look like:

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_inject_group_forum_link_into_menu' );
my_inject_group_forum_link_into_menu( $items ) {
	if ( groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id_of_group_A ) ) {
		$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id_of_group_A ) );
		$items .= '<li><a href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'forum/">' . bp_get_group_name( $group ) . 'Forum</a></li>';
		<?php
	}
	return $items;
}

Hi,
I have the same problem like “Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_current_group_id() in /home/…/public_html/…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-group-extension.php on line 484”. The solution given above can fixed the issue, but it is affecting when i am updating the plugin. So, how can i override this file inside the theme so that the change wont lose when i update the plugin buddypress.

my fix:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_current_group_id() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-group-extension.php on line 488

[ soluction ]

public static function get_group_id() {

		
	if ( defined( 'WP_NETWORK_ADMIN' ) && bp_is_active('groups')) {   // -----------fix add line 1 
	echo get_called_class();// -----------fix add line 2                     

	
		// Usually this will work.
		$group_id = bp_get_current_group_id();

		// On the admin, get the group id out of the $_GET params.
		if ( empty( $group_id ) && is_admin() && ( isset( $_GET['page'] ) && ( 'bp-groups' === $_GET['page'] ) ) && ! empty( $_GET['gid'] ) ) {
			$group_id = (int) $_GET['gid'];
		}

		// This fallback will only be hit when the create step is very
		// early.
		if ( empty( $group_id ) && bp_get_new_group_id() ) {
			$group_id = bp_get_new_group_id();
		}

		// On some setups, the group id has to be fetched out of the
		// $_POST array
		// @todo Figure out why this is happening during group creation.
		if ( empty( $group_id ) && isset( $_POST['group_id'] ) ) {
			$group_id = (int) $_POST['group_id'];
		}

		return $group_id;
		}// -----------fix add line 3
	}

@daltontastic,

color buttons are TinyMCE tools and not html tags. The only way to get them would be to use the editor toolbar.

Here a scenario you could use:
– create a child-theme and add post-form.php to it (copy from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddyPress/activity/post-form.php).
Result: your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php

In that file, go to line:40 where textarea start.
Inser this action hook:

<?php if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) : ?>
	<?php do_action( 'blablabla' ); ?>
<?php endif ?>

Then add this <?php if ( ! bp_is_groups_component() ) : ?>
<textarea class="bp-suggestions"......bla...bla...</textarea>
and add <?php endif ?> after the textarea closing tag.

This contionnals will show a custom area for the desired group and prevent update area to appear on all other groups home pages.

So if a user is member of different groups, he will get a texteditor for group_id 13 and the normal update area on all others.

The custom template is ready. Now the fonctions we need.

Open bp-custom.php (or create it) and paste in those snippets.

Adding the texteditor:

function bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor() {
	// deactivation of the visual tab, so user can't play with style tools
//add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return false;' ) , 50 );

$content = "";

	// building the what's new textarea
	if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) :
	$content = esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); 
	endif;

	// adding tinymce tools
	$editor_id = 'whats-new';

	$settings = array( 
			'textarea_name' => 'whats-new', 
			'teeny' => false, 
			'media_buttons' => true, 
			'drag_drop_upload' => true, 
			'quicktags' => array(
			'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close'
		));	 
	
	// get the editor	
	wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
}
add_action( 'whats_new_textarea', 'bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor' );

A simple function who add the original textarea for users who are group members, but not allowed to rich edit.

function my_textarea() { ?>
			<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"
				<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>data-suggestions-group-id="<?php echo esc_attr( (int) bp_get_current_group_id() ); ?>" <?php endif; ?>
			><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>
<?php
}

And the last one, where you set up the group allowed to publish updates using edit tools.

function trotro() {

if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) :

$check = groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() );
$check_group = bp_get_group_id(); 

	if ($check != 0 && $check_group == 21 && 'leon' == bp_current_item() ){
		echo 'Wow! You can rich edit in this group.';
			bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor();
	} else {
		echo 'Sorry, you cannot rich edit in this group';
		my_textarea();
	}

endif;
}
add_action( 'blablabla', 'trotro' );

Now, any member which is part of the group leon, group id 23 can publish updates and use the color picker and all other things which are on the edit bar.

Only thing you have to do is to adjust leon and id to your rules.

Successfully tested on 2.6 and 2016.

May this help you to go further with your BuddyPress project. 🙂
