Hi Dan,

Using Buddypress 1.5.5, I found that the groups would not display unless invite_status meta data was added:

groups_update_groupmeta( $id, ‘invite_status’, ‘members’ );

thanks for the tutorial!
for some reason I do not get new group created.

Do I have to add this code to functions.php of my theme?
Is there any way to get this code working to create multiple groups at a time?

thank you!

This is a really helpful article, thanks for posting it!

Has anyone been able to incorporate this into a shortcode or better yet an add-on plugin that will allow a command to create a new group each time a new post is made?

I envision having a separate BP group forum for each post.

I was looking all over for this info. I have to thank you for posting.
I dug all over the buddypress codex and could not find such details for the create functions.

Great article… However, it doesn’t seem to work anymore in BP 1.5 and WP 3.3.1

This is rubbish – it doesn’t work and it doesn’t give any details on how to enqueue a script..

my Java has been broken since installing buddypress and this didn’t help one bit…

More detailed instructions needed… the HTML form just goes to the action location…

Also – no idea where to save the functions etc either…

Comment on R integration with PHP by admin

I would probably do things differently if I did this again today.

@valugi You are right, this method was rather slow because it was constantly re-loading the whole R environment. I would look into using RApache instead (http://rapache.net/) because it provides an R interpreter to the web server. I’ve never used this.

@ken I guess it depends what you want to do with the data that R spits out in the long run; in my case I just wanted to show it to the user once and I didn’t care about caching or anything. Using a database as the handoff is a good idea if you want to preserve the data but you will have to launch a separate query in PHP to get it. The fastest handoff can probably be achieved by constructing and exec()ing a shell script that runs R and returns data as a JSON string which then will be picked up by PHP as the return of exec().
