O crap,

scratch that I didn’t read the function properly, that was wrapped in a check for populate_extras

    if (empty($group->args['populate_extras'])) {

So it never even executed and just used the $group from the global $groups_template->group which already had the admins/mods on it.

So I guess my question is how can you control the order or sort the $group->admins and $group->mods

Thanks

Thanks @shanebp,

I finally figured that the BP_Group_Member_Query as alphabetical was functioning properly what I’m wondering about now is if I can by default order the admins and mods listings on the $groups_template->group object in alphabetical order?

Thanks

Hi @shanebp,

Sorry for the confusion, I’ve created a bp_group_list_managers that’s a merge of bp_group_list_admins and bp_group_list_mods to provide a single consolidated listing.

function bp_group_list_managers($group=false) {
    global $groups_template;
    if(empty($group)) {
        $group =& $groups_template->group;
    }

    // fetch group admins if 'populate_extras' flag is false
    if (empty($group->args['populate_extras']) || true) {
        $query = new BP_Group_Member_Query(array(
            'group_id'   => $group->id,
            'group_role' => 'admin',
            'type'       => 'alphabetical',
        ));

        if (!empty($query->results)) {
            $group->admins = $query->results;
        }
    }

    // fetch group mods if 'populate_extras' flag is false
    if (empty($group->args['populate_extras']) || true) {
        $query = new BP_Group_Member_Query(array(
            'group_id'   => $group->id,
            'group_role' => 'mod',
            'type'       => 'alphabetical',
        ));

        if (!empty($query->results)) {
            $group->mods = $query->results;
        }
    }

    $admins = (array)$group->admins;
    $mods = (array)$group->mods;

    usort($admins, 'bp_group_member_sort');
    usort($mods, 'bp_group_member_sort');

    $group->managers = array_merge($admins, $mods);

    if (!empty($group->managers)) { ?>
        <ul id="group-managers">
            <?php foreach((array)$group->managers as $manager) { ?>
                <li>
                    <a href="<?php echo bp_core_get_user_domain($manager->user_id, $manager->user_nicename, $manager->user_login); ?>"><?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(array('item_id' => $manager->user_id, 'email' => $manager->user_email, 'alt' => sprintf( __( 'Profile picture of %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_user_displayname($manager->user_id)))) ?></a>
                </li>
            <?php } ?>
        </ul>
<?php } else { ?>
    <span class="activity"><?php _e( 'No Managers', 'buddypress' ) ?></span>
<?php }
}

As you can see I set the type here to alphabetical and was first confused why it did nothing then I realized the BP_Group_Member_Query’s were never even called as I guess populate_extras was set so not empty. This meant that the $group->admins and $group->mods came from the global $group_template->group which wasn’t ordered. I’m curious how to make that global $group_template->group admin/mod lists could be alphabetically ordered by default.

For now I just amended my method to simply force the BP_Group_Member_Query’s to be used instead which has allowed for the alphabetical ordering.

Hope that clears things up.

Thanks
