=== BuddyPress Groupblog === Contributors: MariusOoms, reblevins Donate link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7374704 Tags: buddypress,groups,blogs,content Requires at least: WP 3.0 / BP 1.2 Tested up to: WP 3.2.1 / BP 1.5 Stable tag: 1.6 BuddyPress Groupblog extends the group functionality by enabling the group to have a single blog associated with it. == Description == 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. **Roadmap:** * Allow the admin to let group admins choose the blog name, instead of following the group name. == Installation == 1) unzip the bp-groupblog.zip file into `/wp-contents/plugins/bp-groupblog` 2) move all the themes in `bp-groupblog/themes/` to your WP themes folder 3) activate the plugin 4) run through the admin setup options 5) You are done! == Other Notes == **Known Issues:** * In order for Group Avatars to show on blogs please adjust the bp-core-avatars.php file. I realize this is a nono, but I don't see another way. Patches and ideas are welcome. For know adjust the last two functions for plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php to the following: ` /** * bp_core_avatar_upload_path() * * Returns the absolute upload path for the WP installation * * @global object $current_blog Current blog information * @uses wp_upload_dir To get upload directory info * @return string Absolute path to WP upload directory */ function bp_core_avatar_upload_path() { global $current_blog; // Get upload directory information from current site $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); // If multisite, and current blog does not match root blog, make adjustments if ( bp_core_is_multisite() && BP_ROOT_BLOG != $current_blog->blog_id ) $upload_dir['basedir'] = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/'; return apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_upload_path', $upload_dir['basedir'] ); } /** * bp_core_avatar_url() * * Returns the raw base URL for root site upload location * * @global object $current_blog Current blog information * @uses wp_upload_dir To get upload directory info * @return string Full URL to current upload location */ function bp_core_avatar_url() { global $current_blog; // Get upload directory information from current site $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); // If multisite, and current blog does not match root blog, make adjustments if ( bp_core_is_multisite() && BP_ROOT_BLOG != $current_blog->blog_id ) $upload_dir['baseurl'] = WP_CONTENT_URL . '/uploads'; return apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_url', $upload_dir['baseurl'] ); } ` == Screenshots == 1. Screenshot of the group blog creation stage. 2.
