Hi BuddyPress community,

I’m really loving the group system (you can check out my groups page here: http://tamrielfoundry.com/groups), and I’m getting ready to allow users full capabilities to create groups themselves. Since this will dramatically increase the number of groups, I need a way to filter groups by a particular group meta key/value.

In particular, all groups match one of six meta values, where only one set of groups will be relevant to a particular type of user.

Has anyone successfully added a feature allowing groups to be queried or filtered by groupmeta?

I found this incredibly helpful gist by boone gorges, https://gist.github.com/2638943, that is designed to accomplish exactly what I’m attempting. Unfortunately I’m not able to get this code to work on my end. By checking a series of echos and var_dumps I’ve been able to verify that the problem is that the SQL query isn’t being properly filtered. I’m sort of hitting a wall on this one, but it’s a feature that is a big priority for moving my community forward, and one I’d love to collectively figure out a solution for.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Andrew Clayton
