Exporting group membership info in a usable format

@gingerling – we’ll take a look at how BP stores the group user data next week and let you know what we find.

Q

thanks ??

@gingerling – BP group date is stored in it’s own tables – and I’ve not found an export API from BP yet.. so, in terms of getting and adding this date to exports, it’s going to be a bit complex.

I’ll keep this in mind, but I can say for sure that it will not be something that we can think about adding before the start of next year, due to our workload.

I do however see the benefits of exporting this data, at least in a simplified format.

Q

Hi I’m also after something similar.

Need to export a spreadsheet showing a groups members and all their profile data to provide to each group leader. I’m sure this would be very useful to a lot of people and there is some good potential for good earnings from a premium plugin for this as there is nothing out there.

@mazhermon – you seem to be looking for an option to export based on group membership – so select a group and export all members and their data.

Based on what @gingerling suggested, we were thinking about a way to include the BP group data for each user, if a checkbox was clicked.

Two different routes, both would work…

We’re starting to think about how this might be possible, but it’s going to be a good while until this is released in the public repository – early versions will get uploaded to github and we’ll update here to ask for some help on testing.

The work required to add these new features is rarely covered by any fees asked for in a premium plugin – it makes more sense to accept that and to work instead for the community ??

Q

A quick hack might be to look at how people get into the group. In our case the tick boxes on their profile. This data comes out like documentors;developers;users right now. This is effectivley the same data as what group they are in in our case

@gingerling – please take a look at the development version ( 0.9.9 ) on github – it includes a BP Group export option along with a few new features:

Q

Has anyone had time to test this latest update?

Cheers ??

Q

The latest release 1.1.1 should address the BP group export, please check and confirm.

Thanks
