BuddyPress Groupblog

Beskriuwing

Requires BuddyPress 1.7+ and PHP 5.3+.

The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin extends the group functionality by enabling each group to have a single blog associated with it. Group members are automatically added to the blog and will have blog roles as set by the groupblog admin settings.

Features:

  • P2 integration and frontend posting.
  • Admin can set Template specific groupblogs.
  • Allow group admins choose the desired template page themselves.
  • Full blog theme integration. The included bp-groupblog theme mimics the group pages.
  • Automated blog registration at group creation stage.
  • Bypass default blog validation to allow dashes, underscores, numeral only and minimum character count.
  • Blog privacy settings are initially inherited from group privacy settings.
  • Group members are automatically added to the blog.
  • Blog roles match group roles as set by the group admin.
  • Solid error checking that the blog follows validation.
  • Group admin tab to access the group-blog settings.
  • Blog themes will have the ability to pull in group info and create a theme that could resemble the group exactly.
  • Leaving the group will downgrade the member role to ‘subscriber’.
  • Allow the group admin to select one of his/her existing blogs.
  • A new ajax backend.

Does not work/display. Tried on various themes and WordPress installs. I keep giving this ONE star, but it automatically updates to five starts when I submit.

It's unfortunately as this seems like a great plugin. Perhaps the developer should think about charging as this is the only plugin of it's type that I can find. Not updated in 2 years and no support responses to anyone that I can see.

If you have a modern version of Wordpress, dont bother to install it. It doesnt work.

This plugin has great potential. The idea and demand is there, but the documentation and support is not. I would gladly pay for this plugin if it had better function and application documentation - which I am sure would reduce the demand on the support forum.
