Custom Page that Filters Groups

    So I’ve created a plugin that allows the admin to change a group to be a “Featured” group through 2 radio buttons (featured and not featured)

    It’s working great on the group page I have it set so that it will display an image if the group is featured / not featured.

    MY QUESTION, is as follows:

    I have a custom page that I would like to use the group-loop (i’ll make a custom loop) that filters out all groups that have the featured radio button set to “not featured”.

    I was thinking just having an if statement, but that doesn’t seem to be working (or I just have no idea what to put).

    Something along the lines of

    <?php if ( bp_featured_group == "featured") : ?>

    I know the code is very wrong but I am new to php and I wanted a bit of help.

    Thanks

    What specifically is stored when a group is marked as “featured”? Do you give your radio buttons a value attribute? How are you storing it (is the actual variable name $bp_featured_group?).

    function bp_featured_group_form() {
    
if ( is_site_admin ) {
    
?>
    
<hr />
    
<div class="radio">
    
<label><input type="radio" name="bp_featured_group" value="normal" <?php bp_featured_group_setting('normal') ?> /> <?php _e( 'This is just a normal group', 'featured_group' ) ?></label>
    
<label><input type="radio" name="bp_featured_group" value="Featured" <?php bp_featured_group_setting('Featured') ?> /> <?php _e( 'This is a featured group', 'featured_group' ) ?></label>
    
</div>
    
<hr />
    
<?php
    
}
    
}
    
add_action ( 'bp_after_group_settings_admin' ,'bp_featured_group_form' );
    
add_action ( 'bp_after_group_settings_creation_step' ,'bp_featured_group_form' );
    

    
function bp_featured_group() {
    
if (bp_get_featured_group()) {
    
echo bp_get_featured_group();
    
}
    
}
    

    
// Get the official title group setting
    
function bp_get_featured_group( $group = false ) {
    
global $groups_template;
    
if ( !$group )
    
$group =& $groups_template->group;
    
$featured_group =  groups_get_groupmeta( $group->id, 'bp_featured_group' );
    
return apply_filters( 'bp_featured_group', $featured_group );
    
}
    

    
// echo official title group checked setting for the group admin - default to 'normal' in group creation
    
function bp_featured_group_setting( $setting ) {
    
if ( $setting == bp_get_featured_group() )
    
echo ' checked="checked"';
    
if ( !bp_get_featured_group() && $setting == 'normal' )
    
echo ' checked="checked"';
    
}
    

    
// Save the official_title group setting in the group meta, if normal, delete it
    
function bp_save_featured_group( $group_id ) {
    
global $bp, $_POST;
    
if ( $postval = $_POST['bp_featured_group'] ) {
    
if ( $postval == 'Featured' )
    
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id->id, 'bp_featured_group', $postval );
    
elseif ( $postval=='normal' )
    
groups_delete_groupmeta( $group_id->id, 'bp_featured_group' );
    
}
    
}
    
add_action( 'groups_group_after_save', 'bp_save_featured_group' );

    I may as well post the code,

    Here it is.

    Thanks

    I really just need help with the if statement.

    Thanks

    It seems like you should use the bp_get_featured_group() function in your if statement, as it returns the value rather than echoing it.

    Maybe something like this?

    <?php if ( bp_get_featured_group() == "featured") : ?>

    I’m not totally sure, You might have to insert some “echos” in there and debug along the way.
