Does no one use this plugin and can help me?

Don’t know if this is any use to anyone and no doubt there are far better ways of doing it but just in case it is of use….

I’ve created (hacked really) a plugin made up of 3 files, one of which is useless for now but at a future point I’d like to play around with it.

bp-group-catdisp.php

// group ID for displaying category within
global $bp;

$group_array = array( 17,11 );

if ( in_array( $bp->groups->current_group->id, $group_array) )

bp-group-catdisp-admin.php

`<?php

function group_catdisp_add_admin_menu() {
add_submenu_page( ‘bp-general-settings’, __( ‘Group Categories’, ‘bp_group_catdisp’ ), __( ‘Disp Cats’, ‘bp_group_catdisp’ ), ‘manage_options’, __FILE__, ‘group_catdisp_plugin_options’ );

The first two hard code a group by ID and display a selected wordpress category within that group. The last file is the useless one. I’d started hacking from one of @boonebgorges plugins with the idea of creating an admin screen from which groups could be linked to blog categories.

I’ve run out of time for now to play with that further and so for now am just going to duplicate the first two files for another couple of groups which will work for my purposes.

I have been playing around with this for quite some time but cant get it to work. I just want it so that anyone can see who the members are of a private group. I got close and you can see at http://snipbids.com/groups/electronics-1682147612/members/

Something is showing but I cant get the list of group members to show

Any ideas? please any help would be greatly appreicated

@r-a-y: I made the changes in the templatetags file to get to this result

@nuprn1 thats a nice idea, I don’t know about the apply_filter though. the `$browse_sql` var is a new var that I initiate in just that function and within the scope of the if statement. Reasons being I added a whole other table to be queried in `$paged_groups` and `$total_groups` array being returned by the `get_active` function.

Its a small line of code, easily replaced on upgrade and works perfectly fine for me right now, I just wanted to be able to access, append/modify and object oriented class function from an outside function (that doesn’t make sense) lol. Something like whatever I have in my what if statement gets its own function and the arguments from the get_active function and processes my query after get active is complete (sorta), its not a private function so I can access it outside the BP_Groups_Group class, just don’t know how I can do an add_action or an apply_filter

I just re-posted this in the Private Community plugin forum. After deactivating the plug-in, the feed works without an error. I will follow up on the plugin’s thread. Let me know if you have any suggestions for making these play nicely! New forum threat at:

@spinhead, the problem seems to be because your blog isn’t in the root domain. I think you need to change the config file a little to get it working. See my reply:

Thanks for the response! My goal is to install the classifieds plugin for BuddyPress and then gave different school networks where students can put up classifieds between themselves(the site is more elaborate but that’s the nuts and bolts). Do you think this is something I can achieve with buddy press?

Private groups
Automatic add to particular group based on school selected(could be a predefined group already made)
The classifieds section be different on each group
No friends, PMs if need be but there will be the classifieds bored so there’s really no need

Thanks!

gotcha – didn’t see that before. in the field next to Create Group Capability it appears I can only leave the text “upload_files” in there (it doesn’t take “subscriber”). I deleted the text for Create private group capability and Create hidden group capability but those options still appear when I go to create a new group. I’m clearly doing something wrong….
