Adding a meta box to edit group in admin panel
-
Hi,
I have added two extra fields in the group creation form to accept the extra information. I used this tutorial to create the extra fields. https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/
Now, I wanted to add the same fields in edit group so that we can directly edit the respective information from there. I tried to find a solution but could not find one. Can anyone please guide me to add a meta box which displays and update the added information.
Thank you!

I think the hooks you are looking for are
bp_before_group_details_creation_step
andbp_before_group_details_admin
.Hooking on these will allow you to insert your fields into the group creation and editing page for the group details.

Hi, Thank you so much for reply!
I tried it but it’s not working. I just need them to display on the group admin to edit/remove the fields data.What did you try? do you have the code?
@venutius
This is the code which I’m using to add two fields in group creation form.function custom_field($meta_key='') { //get current group id and load meta_key value if passed. If not pass it blank return groups_get_groupmeta( bp_get_group_id(), $meta_key) ; } function group_header_fields_save( $group_id ) { global $bp, $wpdb; $plain_fields = array( 'group-month', 'group-year' ); foreach( $plain_fields as $field ) { $key = $field; if ( isset( $_POST[$key] ) ) { $value = $_POST[$key]; groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $field, $value ); } } } add_action( 'groups_group_details_edited', 'group_header_fields_save' ); add_action( 'groups_created_group', 'group_header_fields_save' ); // Show the custom field in the group header function show_field_in_header( ) { echo "<p> Month: " . custom_field('group-month') . "</p>"; echo "<p> Year: " . custom_field('group-year') . "</p>"; } add_action('bp_group_header_meta' , 'show_field_in_header') ;
I’ve manually added the code to display the fields in create.php file. In frontend, the field is visible on group listing (groups-loop.php) and on single group page.
Now, I want to add a meta box to the group edit to update the field information directly from the admin panel.
I’ll be grateful If you can help me out! Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks!

Hi! Could you please guide me or provide me any reference?He already gave you guidance…
I think the hooks you are looking for are bp_before_group_details_creation_step and bp_before_group_details_admin.
And you said:
I tried it but it’s not working.
But the code you posted does not use either one of those hooks.
Before asking for more help – Please show how you used those hooks.
