custom groups slug backwards compatibility problem (BP_GROUPS_SLUG)

[zbacsi]

In the file ​bp-groups/bp-groups-loader.php the BP_GROUPS_SLUG is defined ignoring the custom groups slug.

Line 67 should be changed from:

define( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', $this->id );

to:

define( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', isset( $bp->pages->groups->slug ) ? $bp->pages->groups->slug : $this->id );

The logic that you describe already happens at ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-groups/bp-groups-loader.php#L80 As for line 67, BP_GROUPS_SLUG is only defined in this way if it's not already defined - which, in your case, it should be.

Can you give more details on how you are defining BP_GROUPS_SLUG? When I do it in my wp-config.php file:
define( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', 'foo' );
it works fine. Where and how are you defining yours?

Can confirm this code works as intended in BuddyPress core. Closing as worksforme. Reopen if needed.
