Sync from Civi to BP : No OG Groups found (while Civi has groups) about bp-groups-civicrm-sync

[christianwach]

@jbonlinea The plugin (at present) only allows synced groups to be created in BuddyPress. There is code in the plugin that I was working on to allow BuddyPress groups to be created when creating CiviCRM groups, but I didn't ever finish it.

The "Check for OG groups" option is for porting CiviCRM from Drupal to WordPress where CiviCRM has groups that were once synced to Drupal Organic Groups. I realise this is probably a bit misleading for people unfamiliar with the plugin.

FYI, if you want to allow only certain BuddyPress groups to be synced, then the following should get you started:

add_filter( 'bp_groups_civicrm_sync_group_should_be_synced', 'my_groups_sync_filter', 10, 2 );
function my_groups_sync_filter( $should_be_synced, $group_id ) {
	$groups_to_sync = [1, 3]; // The IDs of the BuddyPress groups that *should* be synced.
	if ( ! in_array( $group_id, $groups_to_sync ) ) $should_be_synced = false;
	return $should_be_synced;
}

Hi @christianwach

Thank you very much for your reply !

and for this sniplet !

I do have a tricky question thow how about smart group ?

Thank's in advance

[christianwach]

@jbonlinea I have looked into this. Unfortunately Smart Groups can't be of type "Access Control" so there can't be a "paired" Administrator group like this plugin uses.

hi,

I felt it wasn't designed for that !
I'm abit puzzedle as most groups I intended to use were smart groups.

I do not so much intend to use BP as a social network where people create groupes, but rathe as a front end profile module for CiviCrm contacts and groups !

Side questions thus, do you have any guidance or recomendation (readings, modules, etc) to display CiviCRM contact and group in WP front end ? Creating directories, etc...

I also wonder how are you using WP modules members and groups, and if you have any workflow to suggest ? (I've seen in the doc of you civicrm member sync module that you at least considered the two module I mention here)

Thank's foyr your attention and great developement, they are really game changer for anyone using wp with civicrm
