    Hi, I’m starting out & looking at options for setting up a plain simple searchable database of clubs/groups on my community site, http://just4one.com, – just need to do some basics to start with; with a log in (not whole profile) required to view info and enabling people to add & create their own groups in addition to those I’ll list to start with . Is BuddyPress the right tool for this simple approach to begin with? Advice welcome.

    Using BP will mean that each user will have at least a basic profile.
    You can turn various components on and off – ex. Friends

    The best way to find out if BP is suitable for your site is to create a test site and try it out.

    It depends on the image you want for your network. For example, you can rename the groups to clubs, but this will not affect second level slugs. Look at my problem I am googling since two days and don’t find solution. I found threads of people that ask for slug customization since 5 years, but the problem is half-resolved, because the developers work at their free time for this and maybe they see other priorities I don’t see.

    So if you want a very professional image, buddypress is not yet ready. If you don’t care about urls that mix clubs with groups, go for it. You can also look at Ultimate Member, another networking plugin, to see if it fits your needs.
