WP-3.5.2 BP-1.8 Site-http://mikestumpf.com/mu-cbox/

Hello,

I am trying to make a simple function to filter out “bad” group names and names that are already taken, similar to the filtering done when creating a group blog, but I cannot make sense of the BuddyPress-specific pieces of the code.

I have the files I probably need narrowed down to:

…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php (for inserting the function call)
&
…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php (for using the methods for retrieving groups, like on the Group Directory page)

I am stuck on finding where exactly in the code the group is being created and making sense of calls like: ” do_action( ‘bp_after_group_details_creation_step’ );” in create.php.

Currently, when groups are created with the same name, the second group has a “-” and a string of number appended to it. I cannot find where this is happening in the code either.

Can anybody help me with this?

Here is what I have of the function so far:

// Validate new group name
function group_name_check($groupNameToCheck)
{
while (bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group();
if(bp_get_group_name() = $groupNameToCheck)
{
$error = "something here"
}
endif;
return $error;
endwhile;
}
