BuddyPress, get url (link) of a group using the group id

Question

I'am getting the id of a group using:

$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $id) );

But for the life of me I can't figure out how to return the link to the group its self.

I can grab the slug, but some groups are sub groups so I can't just:

echo 'domain/groups/'.$group->slug;

Any help greatly appreciated.

Did you try:

bp_get_group_permalink( $group );

That will return the href value for the group. To get an html link use:

bp_get_group_link( $group );

D'oh, thank you. I have been searching for this function for hours! – john May 28 '15 at 13:08
what is `$group`? is it group id or it's just a global variable? – Karue Benson Karue May 28 '20 at 00:38
According to the code $group its the Group object: `@param BP_Groups_Group|null $group Optional. Group object. Default: current group in loop.` – Tazir Jun 09 '20 at 09:02

For anyone still needing the answer to why bp_get_group_permalink( $group ); doesn't work with just the group id, its because you need to create a Buddypress Group Object. Something like this:

    $group_obj = groups_get_group ( $group_id );
    $href = bp_get_group_permalink( $group_obj );

BuddyPress, get url (link) of a group using the group id
