Adding Support For Buddypress Groups

I was looking at creating something similar to P2P_User like P2P_BPGroup but unsure how this this would be connect in the register connection function.

The P2P_User class is just a decorator for making WP_User objects look more similar to WP_Post objects. The real logic for handling connections is in the P2P_Side_User class.

If you follow the code flow starting from p2p_register_connection_type(), you’ll eventually reach P2P_Connection_Type_Factory::create_side(), which has this line:

$class = 'P2P_Side_' . ucfirst( $object_type );

So, if you want to register a connection type with 'from' => 'bpgroup' or 'to' => 'bpgroup' (or both), you’re going to need a class that’s called P2P_Side_Bpgroup.

Any help would be excellent, once complete I will issue a pull request so it can be integrated in a future release.

I think it would be better if you opened a PR just as soon as you make any sort of progress. That way, I can see what you’ve done so far and answer questions inline.

Hi Scribu,

Thanks for the points, I have sent a pull request which cover all the additional files I have created.

I haven’t really started on the logic of P2P_Side_Bpgroup but looks like I need to covert the passed arguments so they work with buddypress’s get group function.

I’ll await your pull request comments.
