add filter hook to bp-groups-templatetags.php

[dwenaus]

in the file:
bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php

in the function bp_group_is_member()
(on line 1046 of RC2)

change the final line:

return true;

to:

return apply_filters( 'bp_group_is_member', true );

why? this post explains what I'm up to. http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/looking-for-simple-way-to-make-an-announcement-type-group

another helpful hook would be in bp-core.php around line 796 near the end of the bp_core_new_subnav_item() function. add a filter after the chunk that starts with

$bp->bp_options_nav[$parent_slug][$slug] = array(...);

that way people can customize core subnav items.

if the second request is complex or could present problems, ignore it. The first request is pretty straight forward.

1.2 is in feature-freeze.

I believe you can already customize all of these by passing arguments to bp_core_new_subnav_item()?

@dwenaus
Can you test the patch to make sure everything works?

[dwenaus]

Tested and works perfectly. thanks.
where can I learn to make diffs?

That's kind of a loaded question :). It requires you too learn to work with SVN. Once you do that, it's pretty simple. Any SVN client will do it. I use Cornerstone (Mac OS X), but I hear good things about Versions (Mac OS X), and TortoiseSVN (Windows). There's some other free clients for Mac OS X that would do too. If you're comfortable with command-line, you can interface with SVN that way too.

PLEASE add this with 1.2.4 :)
