#BuddyPress Hack: Auto-assign mod or admin to new groups
If you have no need for the BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation plugin here is the function I used to demote the creator and automatically assign an admin and/or mod to the new group.
//if a new group is created - attach an admin, mod, demote
function my_group_autoadd_admin( $args ) {
global $bp;//args is the group_id
if (!$args)
return;if (! is_site_admin() ) {
//use this to demote the creator to a mod – assuming the logged in user is creating (you could also pull group->creator_id)
$member = new BP_Groups_Member($bp->loggedin_user->id, $args);
$member->is_admin = 0;
$member->is_mod = 1;
$member->user_title = __('Group Mod','buddypress');
$member->date_modified = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$member->save();}
//use this to add some user_id (from wp_users->ID) as an admin
$member = new BP_Groups_Member(<insert_your_user_id>, $args);
$member->is_admin = 1;
$member->is_mod = 0;
$member->user_title = __('Group Admin','buddypress');
$member->is_confirmed = 1;
$member->date_modified = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$member->save();//use this to add some user_id (from wp_users->ID) as a mod
$member = new BP_Groups_Member(<insert_your_user_id>,$args);
$member->is_admin = 0;
$member->is_mod = 1;
$member->user_title = __('Group Mod','buddypress');
$member->is_confirmed = 1;
$member->date_modified = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$member->save();}
add_action(
'groups_created_group','my_group_autoadd_admin', 1, 1);
)
