FIX: show group labels rather than slugs in select box

This can be done in bgf-filters.php
l.17 get the group objects
$group_types = bp_groups_get_group_types(array(),'objects');

l42. get the group label:
<?php echo(ucfirst( $group_type->labels['name']));?>

Note this includes some CSS with wide impact for example:

.groups #buddypress input[type="text"] {
  border: medium none;
}

plugin should only style its own elements, but this restyles all buddypress group forms to remove borders around inputs, reducing usability.

I used both plugins, the group type creation plugin and the search plugin. On the search screen the select box appears but where there should be a submit button there is a spinning icon that never stops spinning. I see no javascript errors in the console so I am not sure what the problem is, possible conflict with another plugin? What should I do?

thanks for the plugin. it works very well, but I would not need the search bar, because the select box is sufficient for my website. I would appreciate if you could introduce this option in the plugin settings or any other idea. I think it would be very helpful.

thanks for your understanding

Hi there,

I installed this on my Boss theme and on the group directory page with the search box at the top right it only shows one lengthy search box but not the group types. I used the inspector to check whether the group type selector is just hidden or the like but could not find anything at all referencing to the group types. Do you know how to make the group type selector visible with the Boss theme?

Thanks.

WP 4.7/BP 2.7.3/Boss 2.3.0

I’ve a small test server, running BP, BP Add Group Types and BP Group Search with the 2016 theme.

When I activate BuddyPress Group Search, it adds a group type selector to the search area, hoowever there is nowhere to click to proceed with the search so the search does not work.

Am I missing something?

Also, the names of the group types displayed removes the spaces in the type names, this does not look great.
