Hi,

We use bbpress, buddypress, and bbp-private-groups in a WordPress installation.
Thank you for the great plugins!

In the Buddypress Group Settings, the group administrator can also create a forum.
How can I add a specific group from bbp-private-groups to a group forum when creating the group forum?
I couldn’t find an option for this in the backend settings.
Is there a suitable hook? I don’t know the forum ID yet for “groups_group_after_save”.
I would add the group with add_post_meta( $forum_id, _private_group, group1, false );.

Thanks for any tips!
bbbt

I’m pretty sure that the buddypress function hooks to the new_forum_handler in bbpress, so this should work

add_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', 'rew_add_pg', 10 , 1) ;

function rew_add_pg ($forum_id ) {
	 add_post_meta( $forum_id, '_private_group', 'group1', false );
}

Let me know of not.

Thank you for your prompt response.
The hook bbp_new_forum_post_extras is not being called.

I have now tried the hook bbp_insert_forum. It is being called. To ensure that it is a group forum, I then ran the following query:
$group_ids = get_post_meta( $forum_id, _bbp_group_ids, false );

$group_ids does not yet exist at this point. I only want to call add_post_meta( $forum_id, _private_group, group1, false ); if it is a group forum.

Best regards

ok, so given that it is a buddypress function that creates a group forum, can you ask that question on the buddypress support forum, as they are more likely to know a hook that you could use
