Adding more fields to Buddypress Groups WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi,

I would like to add more specific fields to a group in buddypress. Besides description be able to add street address, mobile, phone and website. Embedded in a h5 tag. And only be visible if you fill in those field. Also so the rich editor is available in groups. Below is the documentation for extending groups.

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/group-extension-api/

I know there is plugin https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/buddypress-groups-extras but it's way more that I want. Also, I'm trying to get rid of plugins.. For getting down requests..

Please put below code in your theme's functions.php file

Note code is not tested. But it's just idea how it should be written.

function bob_add_group_extension() {
if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :

class Group_Extension_Ville extends BP_Group_Extension {

function __construct() {
$args = array(
'slug' => 'add-address',
'name' => 'Address',
);
parent::init( $args );
}

function display() {
$group_id = bp_get_group_id();
$st_address = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_st_address' );
$mobile = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_mobile' );
$phone = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_phone' );

if($st_address)
echo "<h5>$st_address<h5>";
if($mobile)
echo "<h5>$mobile<h5>";
if($phone)
echo "<h5>$phone<h5>";

}

function settings_screen( $group_id = NULL ) {
$st_address = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_st_address' );
$mobile = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_mobile' );
$phone = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_phone' );
?>
<div>
Street Address:<br />
<input type="text" name="group_ext_st_address" value="<?php echo $st_address; ?>">
</div>
<div>
Mobile:<br />
<input type="text" name="group_ext_mobile" value="<?php echo $mobile; ?>">
</div>
<div>
Phone:<br />
<input type="text" name="group_ext_phone" value="<?php echo $phone; ?>">
</div>
<?php
}

function settings_screen_save( $group_id = NULL ) {

if ( isset( $_POST['group_ext_st_address'] ) ) {
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_st_address', sanitize_text_field($_POST['group_ext_st_address']) );
}
if ( isset( $_POST['group_ext_mobile'] ) ) {
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_mobile', sanitize_text_field($_POST['group_ext_mobile']) );
}
if ( isset( $_POST['group_ext_phone'] ) ) {
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_mobile', sanitize_text_field($_POST['group_ext_phone']) );
}
}
}
bp_register_group_extension( 'Group_Extension_Ville' );



endif; // if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) )
}
add_action('bp_init', 'bob_add_group_extension');


Please try it and let me know.

Here is modified display function to show link in website and email id.

function display() {
$group_id = bp_get_group_id();
$st_address = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_st_address' );
$mobile = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_mobile' );
$phone = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_phone' );
$website = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_website' );
$email = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'group_ext_email' );


if($st_address)
echo "<h5>$st_address<h5>";

if($mobile)
echo "<h5>$mobile<h5>";

if($phone)
echo "<h5>$phone<h5>";

if($website)
echo '<a href="'.$website.'">'.$website.'</a>';

if($email)
echo '<a href="mailto:'.$email.'">'.$email.'</a>';
}

Bob comments:

Please replace code as below instructions to add labels.
<strong>Old code</strong>

if($st_address)
echo "<h5>$st_address<h5>";
if($country)
echo "<h5>$country<h5>";
if($mobile)
echo "<h5>$mobile<h5>";
if($phone)
echo "<h5>$phone<h5>";
if($email)
echo '<h5><a href="mailto:'.$email.'">'.$email.'<h5>';
if($website)
echo '<h5><a href="'.$website.'" target="_blank">'.$website.'<h5>';


<strong>New Code</strong>

if($st_address)
echo "<h5><span class='contact-label'>Street address:<span>$st_address<h5>";
if($country)
echo "<h5><span class='contact-label'>Country:<span>$country<h5>";
if($mobile)
echo "<h5><span class='contact-label'>Mobile:<span>$mobile<h5>";
if($phone)
echo "<h5><span class='contact-label'>Phone:<span>$phone<h5>";
if($email)
echo '<h5><span class="contact-label">Email:<span><a href="mailto:'.$email.'">'.$email.'<h5>';
if($website)
echo '<h5><span class="contact-label">Website:<span><a href="'.$website.'" target="_blank">'.$website.'<h5>';



**remove extra spaces paste it( if any )
** you need to write css for the class "contact-label" so each label has same width and it can be displayed as you want.
