 Hi @espellcaste

 Thanks a lot for your work and patch about this improvement. I'll look at
 it in detail asap. Here's some first thoughts:

 - what about `bp_get_group_by( $field, $value )` like the WP
 `get_user_by()` function?
 - It seems weird to have the `from_param` suffix and being able to pass
 the entire Group object. I would probably have used a `bp_get_group(
 $group_id_or_group_object )` and used `bp_get_group_by( 'id', $value )`
 function inside it in case a Group ID was passed.

 I've changed the version to 1.0 as this was the BuddyPress version when
 `bp_get_group_avatar()` was introduced.
