Hi,
I would like to let users creating groups with a specific pattern only: “Tango and […]”.
Users should enter words only for […], so all the groups will be named like this. For example, I am an user and I want to create a group about literature, I should insert literature as a group title, and my group will automatically be named “Tango and literature”.
Is there a solution to do this?

Take a look at this hook
do_action( 'groups_created_group', $group->id, $group );

in buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-functions.php ~L. 161

Use that hook to connect to a function that changes the submitted name.

Could you give me a more detailed hint about how to do it?

If it is only cosmetic and for all your groups, you can try to add the extra title text with CSS ::before selector.

Yes, this is exactly what I’d like to get.

Can you suggest what is the element for :before selector?
I suppose I have to edit CSS with this:

element::before {
content: “Tango and “;
}

but I don’t know what is the ‘element’ in order to work for groups titles.

Thanks again!

It’s a bit theme dependant, but by default the element is a:

Example with twenty thirteen:
.entry-header .entry-title a::before { content:'Tango and ';}

Not ideal, because it is not useable on the group directory itself, and where it affects also the create a group button.
