BuddyPress.org

Hi @boonebgorges, that sounds so great! It disappointed me, that it is so difficult to give group members the possibility to just write articles in a group. WordPress started as a Bloggingsystem, and the missing possibility to write articles in groups is for me like something is really missing there.

Of course there is the groupblog plugin, but I think it’s a bit overloaded, to create a blog for every group, just to have some articles in this place.

There is another plugin from Brajesh Singh http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/. But nothing like a framework, to build your own component on it.

At the moment, the only easy starting point is on quick post plugin, but this plugin turned of buddypress support in the latest versions.

To have a framework for custom post type support in BP (front end editing, integration into nav menus, etc) to build custom post type components for buddypress with the possibility, to write articles from the frontend with the same functionality like the backend offers, would make buddypress application field much more powerful. Groups could be such a beautifully bloging tool.

Thanks for that news, and Happy Christmas
