Thanks Brajesh

I have upgraded the plugin and also installed the sync plugin. I can now see the cron job too. One more question re the conditions for the auto lists. I have a group id field in user profile which will contain comma separated id’s. Let’s assume a user belongs to group 1,2 and I have an auto-list created. So, under conditions I selected the group id field and operator as ‘In’ and in the 3rd box I enter 1 for the auto-list of group 1 and 2 for the auto-list of group 2. Is this the correct way to setup? Trying that but it’s not working

Hi Darshan,
Thank you.

1. Yes,sync removes users from groups too. It will not remove if the matched groups list is empty.

2. We don’t have any condition that allows you to use id as group id. So, that will not work.

Hi Darshan
Thank you for the reply.

This is not how this plugin works. There are ways to make this condition though.

Conditions:- These are used to match user profile. If a user matches these conditions, they will get added to the predefined list of groups you have selected.

In your case, if you want to use the condition like above, you will need to create multiple list. For each list, you will select relevant groups.

or example, a list containing condition employee id IN 1,2, you will select group 1 and 2.

This is different from what you are expecting. I believe your expectation is to use the group ids from profile field and sync to it.

It can be achieved much easier with custom code. Please allow us to post the code(Ravi or I will share the code in next 24 hours).

Hello Darshan,

Please use the following code. This code will sync the user’s group based on the group field id. Make sure to replace the group field with your field id.

/**
 * Sync user's groups
 *
 * @param int   $user_id       User id.
 * @param array $new_group_ids New group ids.
 */
function buddydev_sync_user_groups( $user_id, $new_group_ids ) {

	if ( ! $user_id || ! $new_group_ids ) {
		return;
	}

	$user_group              = groups_get_user_groups( $user_id );
	$existing_user_group_ids = (array) $user_group['groups'];

	$removable_group_ids = array_diff( $existing_user_group_ids, $new_group_ids );
	$new_join_group_ids  = array_diff( $new_group_ids, $existing_user_group_ids );

	foreach ( $removable_group_ids as $group_id ) {
		groups_leave_group( $group_id, $user_id );
	}

	foreach ( $new_join_group_ids as $group_id ) {
		groups_join_group( $group_id, $user_id );
	}
}

/**
 * Sync user's groups on field save.
 */
add_action( 'xprofile_data_after_save', function ( BP_XProfile_ProfileData $object ) {
	$field_id = $object->field_id;

	// Replace field id with yours field id.
	$group_field_id = 5;

	// If not our field id return.
	if ( $group_field_id != $field_id ) {
		return;
	}

	$new_group_ids = wp_parse_id_list( $object->value );

	if ( empty( $new_group_ids ) ) {
		// should we remove existing groups?
		// let us avoid that for now.
		return;
	}

	buddydev_sync_user_groups( $object->user_id, $new_group_ids );
} );

Please do let me know if it works or not.
