Using fa-usermeta() or fa-userid you can point to a directory just for someone by a specific userid or belonging to a group defined in the usermeta. It’s in the Dynamic Paths tutorials.

I’m new to this plugin’s shortcodes and not particularly familiar with user meta. I am trying to generate a list or table of files for each BuddyPress group. Users would be able to see the list and access the files if they belong to the group. I was unable to see any files display when trying the following shortcode on a page:
[fileaway sub=”fa-usermeta(bp-groups&gid=1)”]
Am I on the right track here?
Thanks so much for your help!
No. If your buddypress doesn’t have the ability to add custom WP capabilities to members of a given group (assuming some users are members of more than one group) you’re out of luck. File Away doesn’t integrate with buddypress groups natively.
If you can find a plugin that will add a custom capability to all members of a given buddy press group, e.g.,
Members of Group 1 receive group_one_user capability,
Members of Group 2 receive group_two_user capability,
etc.
then you can do your fileaway tables like this:
[fileaway sub=”group_one_files” showto=”group_one_user”]
[fileaway sub=”group_two_files” showto=”group_two_user”]
But I know that buddypress doesn’t natively integrate with WP roles and capabilities.
