bp_group_is_user_banned( BP_Groups_Group|bool $group = false, int $user_id )

Check if a user is banned from a group.

Description

If this function is invoked inside the groups template loop, then we check $groups_template->group->is_banned instead of using groups_is_user_banned() and making another SQL query.

In BuddyPress 2.1, to standardize this function, we are defaulting the return value to a boolean. In previous versions, using this function would return either a string of the integer (0 or 1) or null if a result couldn’t be found from the database. If the logged-in user had the ‘bp_moderate’ capability, the return value would be boolean false.

Parameters

$group

(Optional) Group to check if user is banned.

Default value: false

$user_id

(Required) The user ID to check.

Return

(bool) True if user is banned. False if user isn't banned.
