When trying to find a simple solution to adding a Groups page with a custom field, I came across this plugin. I realize this has not been updated in a few years and could certainly use some improvements to the functionality (namely actually displaying the fields on the group profile page.)

I noticed a few support requests where members mentioned developing codes further. Has anyone succeeded in displaying the fields as a group page tab yet?

Thanks for reading!

I dont think this is working with 3.0

1. The Groups “other fields” does not display fields

2. On: Add New Field > Type this error is displayed
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘options’ in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-extend-groups-fields/bp-fields.php on line 115

I am planning to try to update, and make modification including
– having fields displayed when user create groups
– Echo fields on group list
– one page group creation with custom fields (for homepage quick add group)

Hello, as it says in the title I would like to put the selection in the creation of the groups and not when they are already created. Can you help me by saying the function that I could do this in your file would already be of great help, because I’m not finding it.

Trying to add tab not only under Buddypress>Group>Manage BUT also so that visitors can see the tabs and fields readonly on Buddypress Main Tab

I managed to get the tab added and it to load a blank page with the tab group headers but cannot seem to be able to losd the field. I also tried to include the other-fields.php under bp-extend-groups-fields/templates/groups/single/admin but no go…

Any ideas? I added the code below to my theme functions.php file to add a tab and page called Info under the main BP nav

function my_new_groups_info_page() {
global $bp;
if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug)) {
		bp_core_new_subnav_item(array(
		'name' => 'Info',
		'slug' => 'Info',
		'parent_slug' => $bp->groups->current_group->slug,
		'parent_url' => bp_get_group_permalink($bp->groups->current_group),
		'screen_function' => 'my_new_group_show_screen',
		'position' => 10));
		}
}
add_action('wp', 'my_new_groups_info_page');

function my_new_group_show_screen() {
add_action('bp_template_title', 'my_new_group_show_screen_title');
add_action('bp_template_content', 'my_new_group_show_screen_content');
		$templates = array('templates/groups/single/plugins.php', 'other-fields.php');
		if (strstr(locate_template($templates), 'templates/groups/single/plugins.php')) {
		bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'templates/groups/single/plugins'));
		} else {
		bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'plugin-template'));
		}
	}
function my_new_group_show_screen_title() {
		echo 'New Tab Title';
		}

function my_new_group_show_screen_content() {

echo '<div class="clear"></br></div>';		
echo '<ul class="button-nav" role="navigation">';
echo bp_extend_fields_group_tabs( );
echo '<ul>';

echo '<div class="clear"></div>';

include 'templates/groups/single/other-fields.php';

	
	}

(Testing with BP 2.8.0-RC):

The following debug errors are thrown on “/groups/” and “/groups/type/” pages:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in . . . /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php on line 1072

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in . . . /wp-content/plugins/bp-extend-groups-fields/bp-fields.php on line 898

Thank you for keeping the UI/UX so close to the BP core Profile Fields editor.

Would you please consider enabling group-type (BP 2.6+) specifications similar to member types (BP 2.4+)?

Without this sort of functionality, it’s difficult to imagine a good use case for your otherwise much needed plugin on sites that use group types, since not all fields necessarily pertain to all group types.

I’m receiving the following three (3) error messages inside the “Sort Order” field for Checkboxes, Drop Down Select Box, Multi Select Box, and Radio Buttons options (i.e., all the Multi Fields):

Notice: Undefined index: sort_order in .../bp-extend-group-fields/templates/types.php on line 48 >Custom
Notice: Undefined index: sort_order in .../bp-extend-group-fields/templates/types.php on line 49 >Ascending
Notice: Undefined index: sort_order in .../bp-extend-group-fields/templates/types.php on line 50 >Descending

I’d like to be able to display the information collected in the fields in a member visible tab. Right now as far as I can see only the group manager can see this information from within the Manage tab but once the information is input the group members cannot see it. Or am I missing something?

I have just installed your plugin. It is working, thanks. However, a user would need to able to select/choose it during the creation process of a group (and not only after once the group has already been created). We would highly appreciate your support.
