bp_is_groups_component conditional does not work on 3rd Party Group Component Pages

[bowromir]

The bp_is_groups_component() conditional can be used to check if you're currently on a group page or inside the groups directory. This works fine, unless you are on a Group page added by a 3rd party plugin (for exampel BuddyPress Docs). When you visit a page the conditional is "false" while it should be true. two screenshots that illustrate this. Please check the sidebar "widget"to see what happens.

3rd Party Group Page: ​http://cl.ly/0l3F1x3f2Y3q1m1e3n0k

Small part of the code used for the Group Sidebar

elseif ( function_exists('bp_is_page') && bp_is_groups_component() ) {
                if ( is_active_sidebar( 'groups-sidebar' ) ) {
                    dynamic_sidebar( 'groups-sidebar');
				} else { ?>
				<div class="widget"><h4>BP Group Sidebar.</h4>
				<a href="<?php echo home_url( '/'  ); ?>wp-admin/widgets.php" title="Add Widgets">Add Widgets</a></div><?php
				}

I can't reproduce this. I put the following in my bp-custom.php:

function bbg_test_bp_is_groups_component_in_sidebar() {
	if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) {
		echo 'THIS IS THE GROUPS COMPONENT';
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_inside_before_sidebar', 'bbg_test_bp_is_groups_component_in_sidebar' );

and it shows, as expected, on all group pages, including those created by third party components like BuddyPress Docs.

I'm guessing that there is something else in your theme logic that is causing the if...elseif...etc conditional to catch somewhere improperly. Can you provide more of this code so that it's a bit easier to see what's going on?

Moving this to Future Release for the moment. If we can't get steps to reproduce, then I'll close as worksforme.

Still works fine for me. If you manage to pin down steps to reproduce, please reopen.
