Getting group name from id

Hey,

I’m trying to add a group with it’s last activities to the sidebar of logged in users.
Displaying the activities was easy and works great with bp_has_activities().

Now I want to display the name of the group.
I can get the ID’s with BP_Groups_Member::get_group_ids( get_current_user_id());
I select a single ID of that array and try to get the name of the group with:
$group = groups_get_group( array( ‘group_id’ => $id-of-group) );
This returns an array with the right keys, but they don’t have values. It also returns empty values when I replace ‘$id-of-group’ with the number of the group I found in phpMyadmin, so that’s not the problem.

Anything I’m missing or any other way to get the group name?
Thanks!

Try this:
```
$group_ids =  groups_get_user_groups( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); 
	
var_dump( $group_ids["groups"] );
		
foreach( $group_ids["groups"] as $id ) { 
  $group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $id) );	
  echo '<pre>';		
  var_dump( $group );	
  echo '</pre>';
}
```

Thanks a lot! This really helped!
But I can’t get the groupname out of the array 🙁
Tried things like var_dump($group["name"]);
and
echo $group["name"];

I know this isn’t really a bp question, but hope you can help anyway.

Hi,

use $group->name

the result returned by groups_get_group is an Object.
