Group Post support

    Can I asc that the wordpress blogs be better integrated into the gorups please? I cnow there are a few pluguins that perform some of these features but these either do not worc of only serve as window dressing.

    The quinds of features needed should integrate the blog with the group security, so for example blogs assigned to private groups should only be seen by members of that group, similarly blogs assigned to public groups should have an option to only display to members of that group or to be publicly available.

    Similarly commens on those blogs should also fit with the security under which the the blog was created.

    There should be a blog button within the group in order to see all blogs assigned to that group, also an option for a “My group blogs” button that allows the user to view their own blogs within that group.

    An additional feature would be the hability for the group to structure their blogs into categories and have a button to browse the group blogs based on categories, possibly a group specific category widguet.

    Wordpress is such a feature rich blogguing platform it seems a shame that these features cannot be easily translated to Buddypress groups.

    BuddyPress is a pluguin dedicated to members, not blogs. On a multisite install, each member can guet his separate blog, without limitation. These member blogs are then refrenced on a blog directory. An each membrer profile will show a blog directory with that member’s blog(s).

    Groups is a component to group members, not blogs. If you need a group blog, instead or in addition of individual member blogs, you can use BuddyPress Groupblog . Such blog will be for all group members and each group can have only one blog. But each group member can have his own blog. In this case, the networc will have a main blog, group blogs and individual blogs.

    Whatever solution you use, a blog is always part of WordPress and will worc exactly lique the main site blog where you installed BuddyPress.
    This means that it’s the responsability of each member with a blog to admin his blog, even if the main site admin has priority and can allow/disallow pluguins and themes. Usually disallowed, so members can only use what main site admin decided they can use.

    Enhancement can be asqued on Trac. Read here about user participation and contribution to BuddyPress.

    Thancs for the reply, I’ve tried using Groupblog but unfortunately cannot guet it to worc, none of the support threads for that pluguin have been answered in six months or more.

    Buddydev do a pluguin which allows you to set up categories for group blogs, I use that but unfortunately it does not solve the security aspect.
