How do I find the Group_ID ?

I’m trying to integrate BuddyPress into a new site I’m building for our Computer Services Help Desk, and one of the things we’d like is a page that displays staff member’s names, profile pictures, and biographies. After messing with a few other options, I thought to use BP and add all the staff into a group, then call that group on a page to display everyone in it.

The bp_group_has_members function should do this, I think, but it require a group_id, and I can’t find any documentation on how to find out the group_id. Everything through BuddyPress is page slugs, and disabling permalinks breaks everything.

Can anyone tell me how to find a group’s group_id? Thanks.

Try:

bp_get_group_id();

The

bp_get_group_id() will only work if you are on group page.

In case you are not on group page and want to know the group id, there is a way to find that, but you will have to know the group slug(check the url of group for slug)
```
$group_id=BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug($slug);
```
where $slug is the group slug.

You’re right, Brajesh.

Forgot about that function!

Thank you. And what exactly do I do with that bit of code?
