    Use something like

    echo WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/' . basename(dirname(__FILE__));

    This will give you the URL to your plugin directory.

    @r-a-y last thing, Ive changed my mind a bit when it comes to the options. How could I get it to check the values seperated by a ,

    Say the db field ready: one,two
    The thing is it might read “one,three” or “two,four” so there should be a way for it to check separating it by a comma? Other wise I would have to type out all the instances that might occur..
    // check which option is in the db
    $group_card = groups_get_groupmeta( $group->id, 'gcard_group_card' );
    if ($group_card == 'one'){
    $group_card = gcard_one();
    }
    if ($group_card == 'two'){
    $group_card = gcard_two();
    }
    return apply_filters( 'gcard_get_group_card', $group_card );
    }

    Make sure you save the groupmeta as an array or as a comma-delimited entry.

    Then you can do your check with in_array() or strpos().

    Edit: Iv’e come right :D using the last method ( thanks r-a-y for all your halp..again <img src="smileys/heart.gif" width="" height="" alt="<3" title=" )
    @r-a-y Ive gotten the value’s to save an an array, example from my db: a:2:{i:0;s:3:”one”;i:1;s:3:”two”;}

    Now I take it I have to use steralize, while Im reading up on that.. have I used in_array correctly as Im finding info hard to come by?

    $group_card = groups_get_groupmeta( $group->id, 'gcard_group_card' );
    if (in_array($group_card == 'one')){
    $group_card = gcard_one();
    }
    if (in_array($group_card == 'two')){
    $group_card = gcard_two();
    }
    return apply_filters( 'gcard_get_group_card', $group_card );
    }

    or should it look more like:
    if(in_array("one",$group_card)){
    echo gcard_one();
    }

    Glad it worked for you.

    FYI, you don’t need to serialize or unserialize arrays since BP does that automatically for you when you cache meta!

    @r-a-y miester last of the last thing :P

    Im getting a error for groups that dont have the db field

    Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in F:Programmesxampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypress-group-credit-cardsbp-group-credit-cards.php on line 101

    Would saying ‘else return something’ be the right path, and what should I return to avoid the error?

    Edit, thinking about it, how would I say if ‘gcard_group_card’ doesn’t exist, don’t return anuthing?

    @r-a-y

    If there is no saved setting for the meta, you should declare a blank array.

    eg.
    $my_meta == groups_get_groupmeta(….);

    if ( empty($my_meta) )
    $my_meta = array();

    @r-a-y I’ve given it my all but no matter what I try I can’t get it to work for groups that don’t have the meta-data. Think I may have layed out “Get or return the card values” wrong. I know Im starting to irritate you abit with this one :P though this is the last step in a working plug-in :D

    Ive made it echo “one”, “two”.. for now so that you don’t have to have the images to work with it. Think you could take a look?

    Here’s the plugin: http://pastebin.com/aFkPfJwW

    Edit: Iv’e though of away around this for now, adding a nother function, function gcard_none() and just making it return “we are not associated with any image..” I would just have to make one of the fields compulsory

    @r-a-y

    You didn’t declare the empty array like I mentioned above:

    Bleh.. @r-a-y, soz about that. I did use the same as what you suggested in your above post. Was still giving the error till I created a new group, maybe I should have cleared cache and everything.. ( will def remember now :P )

    Thank you though for all your help!
