Accessing Original $wp_query

Hello,

As I have read here, BP modifies the $wp_query object, rendering several WordPress functions useless inside the original loop.

However, I need to access the page slug.

I’m on http://www.domain.com/group/name-of-group/ and I need to access “name-of-group”. Any suggestions? For what it’s worth, I am trying to do so in buddypress.php right after header() — in the loop or out of the loop, it doesn’t matter. I just don’t want to resort to parsing the URL.

Thank you.

Did you try:
bp_get_group_slug();

I just did, but it did not work. I looked at the function, saw $groups_template, and added the following inside and outside of the loop:
var_dump($groups_template);

Here’s the code from buddypress.php:
```
<?
/*
Template Name: BuddyPress
*/

get_header(); 
$plp_user_check = plp_user_check($current_user);
	var_dump($groups_template);
	echo "<br>Course Path: " . bp_get_group_slug();
include("forums-header.php");
?>

<?	if( have_posts() ): ?>

		<? 	while( have_posts() ): the_post();
				var_dump($groups_template);
				echo "<br>Course Path: " . bp_get_group_slug();
				the_content();
			endwhile; 
		?>

	<? else: ?>

		<div id="post-404" class="noposts">

			<p><? _e('None found.','example'); ?></p>

		</div>

	<? endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

</div><!-- /#bodyContainer
<?	get_footer(); ?>
```
The first var dump just returned “NULL”. The second one returned:

object(stdClass)#644 (1) { ["group"]=> NULL }

I hadn’t seen that. Very helpful. Thank you.

For others:

$var = $bp->groups->current_group->slug;
