Hi,
Following the instructions on this blog I got the first part of creating a group in php down: http://danpolant.com/how-to-create-groups-in-buddypress-with-php/

    function create_a_group() {

$new_group = new BP_Groups_Group;

$new_group->creator_id = 1;
$new_group->name = ‘test’;
$new_group->slug = ‘test’;
$new_group->description = ‘nothing’;
$new_group->news = ‘whatever’;
$new_group->status = ‘public’;
$new_group->is_invitation_only = 1;
$new_group->enable_wire = 1;
$new_group->enable_forum = 1;
$new_group->enable_photos = 1;
$new_group->photos_admin_only = 1;
$new_group->date_created = current_time(‘mysql’);
$new_group->total_member_count = 1;
$new_group->avatar_thumb = ‘some kind of path’;
$new_group->avatar_full = ‘some kind of path’;

$new_group -> save();

groups_update_groupmeta( $id, ‘total_member_count’, 1 );
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, ‘last_activity’, time() );
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, ‘theme’, ‘buddypress’ );
groups_update_groupmeta( $id, ‘stylesheet’, ‘buddypress’ );

}

I’m having trouble with the groups_update_groupmeta() function because I don’t know how to get the id ($id) of the group that was just created. The `$new_group -> save’ only returns a boolean, not the new id, as I had hoped. So how do I find $id?
