Everything looks ok in the database.

I also tried using the twentyfourteen theme and it didn’t help. Still not displaying the proper information in the dashboard under groups.

@netweb. Thanks for the reply, glad to have helped identify a bug! I’m not sure it’s solved my problem however.

In my database in bb_forums the forums_ids are numbered 1 through to 50. And in wp_bp_groups the ids are numbered 1 through to 50. Group id 1 corresponds to forum id 1, group id 2 corresponds to forum id 2 and so on.

However wp_bp_groups_groupmeta contains the following:

id 	group_id 	meta_key 	meta_value
1 	1 	last_activity 	2014-02-27 10:56:36
2 	1 	total_member_count 	2303
3 	1 	forum_id 	a:1:{i:0;i:127625;}
4 	1 	invite_status 	members
5 	2 	last_activity 	2014-02-19 08:31:05
6 	2 	total_member_count 	456
7 	2 	forum_id 	a:1:{i:0;i:127626;}
8 	2 	invite_status 	members
9 	3 	last_activity 	2014-03-18 22:54:20
10 	3 	total_member_count 	620
11 	3 	forum_id 	a:1:{i:0;i:127627;}
12 	3 	invite_status 	members
13 	4 	last_activity 	2014-02-23 20:14:08
14 	4 	total_member_count 	272
15 	4 	forum_id 	a:1:{i:0;i:127628;}
16 	4 	invite_status 	members

So I’m not sure how those six-digit meta_values correspond to my forums.

The group I’m having the problem with has group_id 26 and should be associated with the forum which has id 26, but instead is associated with 7. As you’d expect based on the above its value is a:1:{i:0;i:127650;}

Is there somewhere else in the database where these longer values are connected to the correct forum_ids? As I say I’ve been looking but not found anything obvious.

Hi Again,

I solved this by recreating each group using the info in the group forums listing, and by choosing not to create a forum for the group. After creating the new group, I went to Groups in the admin panel, selected the new group for editing, checked the ‘I want a forum for this group’ box, and chose my already existing forum group and associated it with the ‘new’ group. Glad I didn’t have a lot of groups(!) Also necessary, is to re-invite your members to re-join the groups. It seems all this could have been avoided by having more users than just myself as admins for the groups. Live and learn. I hope this helps someone, and if this isn’t in the documentation, I sincerely hope you will add it, along with a warning when someone is about to delete a user who is the creator and only admin of a group. Would be nice if you could be prompted to reassign the groups to another user, as is offered with posts.

Thanks.

Kind Regards,

Sura

Recommendations?

I have updated the bottom portion of code the following:

function my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘admin’][‘position’] = 1;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘home’][‘position’] = 2;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘members’][‘position’] = 4;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘hierarchy’][‘position’] = 6;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘forum’][‘position’] = 8;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘send-invites’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘media’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][‘docs’][‘position’] = 90;

}

add_action(‘wp’, ‘my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab’);

It seems to have worked, except for the “hierarchy’ tab. This is for subgroups and for some reason refuses to be anything but the last item in line.

Hello @modemlooper thank you for your answer 🙂
Yes I did read all comments and as you can see in my code I added:
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, ‘invite_status’, ‘members’ );
(It is the only thing in the comments or did I miss something?)

All groups are well displayed it is not the problem.

It is just that they are well counted in the “General Groups Counter” (All groups 140)
but not counted in the
“Group List Counter” (Viewing group 61 to 80 (of 111 groups))
as you can see on my screenshot :/

I’ve been playing around with the filtering aspect. Turns out Buddypress has a filter built in, so all you need to do is add a form (dropdown) to use it. I haven’t fully tested this but seems to work. I need a way to determine all possible notification component names and actions so it will autopopulate the dropdown when new plugins use notifications.

I copied /plugins/buddypress/bp-template/members/single/notifications.php to my child theme and added the following right below the bp_notifications_sort_order_form call

<li id="members-filter-select" class="last filter">
	<?php qd_notifications_filter_form(); ?>
</li>

Then in my functions.php file, I added the dropdown code (I basically stole this from the code that generates the sort by date dropdown.

function qd_notifications_filter_form() {

	// Setup local variables
        // Need to figure out a way to autopopulate this array
	$searchterms   = array( 'new_at_mention', 'bbp_new_reply','new_message','friendship_accepted','friendship_request','group_invite','localgroupnotifier','ac_notifier' );
	$selected = '';

	// Check for a custom sort_order
	if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
		if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $searchterms ) ) {
			$selected = $_REQUEST['s'];
		}
	} ?>

	<form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter">
		<label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>

// need to loop through this instead of hardcoding the options.
		<select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();">
        	<option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
			<option value="new_at_mention" <?php selected( $selected, 'new_at_mention' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Mentions', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
			<option value="bbp_new_reply"  <?php selected( $selected, 'bbp_new_reply'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="new_message"  <?php selected( $selected, 'new_message'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Messages', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="ac_notifier"  <?php selected( $selected, 'ac_notifier'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="localgroupnotifier"  <?php selected( $selected, 'localgroupnotifier'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="friendship_accepted"  <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_accepted'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Accepts', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="friendship_request"  <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_request'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Requests', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
		</select>

		<noscript>
			<input id="submit" type="submit" name="form-submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
		</noscript>
	</form>

<?php
}

I tried to create a shortcode to show the join/leave button using the buddypress-functions but can’t make it to work… 🙁
What am I doing wrong?

I would like a shortcode like this :

[groupbutton name=”party1″]

I tried with this code for a join button only at first:

add_shortcode( 'groupbutton', 'groupbutton_check_shortcode' );

function groupbutton_check_shortcode( $attr ) {

	extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'name' => 'read' ), $attr ) );

	$current_group_id = BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug($name);
	$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $current_group_id ) );     
		if(bp_loggedin_user_id()) {
			if( 'public' == $group->status ) {
				echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $current_group_id ) . '" class="join-group" rel="join" title="' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'join', 'groups_join_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			}
		}
}

I am not a developer at all so I dont understand everything but I am trying… :/
Cant figure what I am doing wrong… and why it does not display anything at all.

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english 🙂

PS: I would like to use all cases of buttons like here on the buddypress-functions.php:

function bp_legacy_theme_ajax_joinleave_group() {
	// Bail if not a POST action
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )

	// Cast gid as integer
	$group_id = (int) $_POST['gid'];

	if ( groups_is_user_banned( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) )
		return;

	if ( ! $group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) ) )
		return;

				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_accept_invite' );

				}

			// Otherwise, it's a Request Membership button
			} else {
				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_request_membership' );

	} else {

	}

	exit;

In fact, my problem turned out to be resolved with one simple answer which needs to be answered by any of you.

Without joining a group,can you post under that group on BuddyPress ? Is there any chance of it ?

Anything under the “groups” i.e. http://inviteshare.net/groups/youtube-favs/forum/ needs a joined member to post. Otherwise, it doesnt let the members. After joining that group, users can post. Does that work the same for anyone ?

Update:

One conditional I got done by looking at some other template files..
Inside the Group Activity template ( groups/single/activity.php ) I found this PHP tag and from reading the lines of code I could tell this was what I’m looking for.

IF user_is_logged_in AND = group_member do that 🙂

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_group_is_member() ) : ?>
<li><a class="button" href="<?php bp_group_permalink(); ?>send-invites/"><i class="fi fi-megaphone"></i></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

One more to go..

Solution found !

I was calling my script too early.
Now I call it in the footer and no pb 🙂

Thanks Rishikant.

Could I create a Buddypress group that only shows up on one post?

For post A, only certain Buddypress groups are displayed on the post.

For post B, another set of Buddypress group is displayed.

i.e. if I have a post “Cooking Class on Sunday” – I would like my users to be able to create groups under this post and invite other users to join.

“Cooking Class on Sunday” groups will only display on the page, and not another page such as “Music Class on Sunday”

THANKS SO MUCH!!!
