I visited this URL: hidden link

I expected to see: I want to build a section/view similar to the community and users " be one of us'
Will this possible or am i mistaken..

Instead, I got:

Dear rohit,

I assume you are going to display a list of buddypress users, since the buddypress users are wordpress users too, so it is possible to create a view to list wordpress users.

But Buddypress plugin stores "user group" in a custom databse table "wp_bp_groups_groupmeta", which is not a wordpress built-in feature and out the range of WordPress, so it is not possible to query the Buddypress "user group" with Views plugin

Since buddypress, bbpress are also forks from workspress.. would we expect support in the near future with toolset?

If you agree, we can take it as a feature request, our developers will evaluate it, but there isn't any ETA for it.

Hello, this is Beda.

We cannot display things outside posts, users, meta and user meta or taxonomy tables.

This feature is filed, but for now, I have to reject it, as it is out of scope.
We cannot query non-native tables in the WordPress Database.

The WordPress user must have some sort of Meta Field where the group is stored which the user belongs to.
So with this, you should be able to create a User View and add a Query Filter for this user meta, if the BuddyPress plugin stores this in user meta fields.

This can be asked in the Buddypress forums.
If there is no connection, you cannot query by it and not display Users by Group.
