I’m almost done customization of the entire Groups section and next in line is the Activity section the only problem I face right now is I can’t add the related group-ID’s to the activity lists.

This probably will be because i’m not inside the Groups -Loop anymore but inside the Activity -Loop.

Why I need those ID -numbers ?

At the Groups pages i’ve added the <?php bp_groups_id(); ?> a couple of times to some HTML classes and by doing so I could target each list or div individually by CSS and it’s group-ID.
Now I have giving each group it’s own coloring based on simple CSS borders like this.

Each group has it’s own 3 border-colors and I would like to show those colors again at the bottom of each Activity item. This way people can see very clearly what ‘team -stream’ the Activity is about.

I have two options I can think of

1 )
This will probably be the most simple one.
I try to add the Activity name ( group-name ) to a HTML class and by doing so could target the list by the group-name in classes. Example .detroit.red.wings.talk { border-stuff }
– Not very pretty but it gets the jobs done.

2 )
I duplicate the groups-loop.php, rename it, minify it with less tags and only the <?php bp_group_id(); ?> inside it and call it or include it by <?php bp_get_template_part('duplicated-groups-loop'); ?> from the activity-loop.php ?? I don’t know if thats a very smart move and if it’s allowed to do so ?

3 )
Maybe somebody else has a better option ?
