Customize Request Membership Tab

Hello,

I’m fairly new to WordPress and Buddypress so please bear with me. I cant seem to find any info or plugins that allow me to customize the Request Membership tab to have more form fields. Is there an easy way to customize this tab? Essentially trying to set up an application to join a private group.

Also – Is there a way to force the Request Membership button on the groups page (http://alacritygaming.com/guilds/) to send you to that same form that is on the tab? This way any member that wants to join the group is forced to fill out the application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time!

The template is here:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\request-membership.php

I don’t know of any plugins that handle customizing that area.

Easy?
Yes, fairly easy, if you have some skills as a WP / BP developer.

Ah -ha Ok thanks! That helps a ton. I’ve been working with that PHP file. The issue I am now having is that the text input into the form is loosing its formatting when viewed on the admin side under Admin – Requests. Any text entered by a user there looses all formatting and just turns into a block of text.

Any way to correct this?

The biggest thing is the loss of line breaks for paragraphs, if I could just get that to transfer from the user side to the admin side that would make a world of difference.

Thanks for the support and patience – learning tons!

Try this in your theme/functions.php or plugins/bp-custom.php
```
function demonja_group_requests( $request ) {

	$request = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "<br/>", $request);
	return '<br/>' . $request;

}
add_filter( 'bp_group_request_comment', 'demonja_group_requests', 1, 1 );
```
