Hi Chris,
Thank you for the patience.

Please update the shortcode plugin to current version from github
https://github.com/buddydev/bp-shortcodes

That will fix the issue.

Hi Dianne,
Thank you for the reply.

The code is independent of the plugin. You will not find anything related to group in the current BuddyPress Auto Friendship pro.

Please add the code to your bp-custom.php and then try joining some public group and see if the users are added as friends or not?

PS:- Notification for user leaving the group is beyond the scope of this plugin. It might be a good idea for some other tool though.

Hi Dianne,
Thank you for upgrading your memmbership. i sincerely appreciate it.

we do not automatically renew any subscription. so, there won’t be any new charge in future unless you renew manually.

Here is the code to auto add friendship with group admins(organizers in case of BuddyBoss)

/**
 * Creates friendship with group admin.
 *
 * @param int $group_id group id.
 * @param int $user_id user id joining group.
 */
function bdcustom_create_group_friendships( $group_id, $user_id ) {

	$admin_ids    = groups_get_group_admins( $group_id );
	//$mod_user_ids = groups_get_group_mods( $group_id ); // uncomment if you want to enable for mods too.

	$group_member_ids =  $admin_ids; // array_unique( array_merge( $admin_ids, $mod_user_ids ) );

	foreach ( $group_member_ids as $group_member_id ) {

		if ( $user_id == $group_member_id || friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $group_member_id ) ) {
			continue;
		}

		friends_add_friend( $user_id, $group_member_id, true );
	}
}

add_action( 'groups_join_group', function ( $group_id, $user_id ) {
	bdcustom_create_group_friendships( $group_id, $user_id );
} );

Please do note that a similar but more refined approach(option for group admin, mods, all members friendship ) will be available in Auto Friendship pro in next release.

Hi Dianne,
Thank you for the question.

We have proceeded with the plugin and it is currently under alpha stage. We expect to have a beta release next week and a final release by the end of this month unless something unusual happens.

The feature sets are exactly same as BuddyBlog. In addition, you can delegate some decision making to group admins.
