Best Way to Categorize/Tag Blogs by Topic
-
There are 2 Blog topic plugins that I’ve seen for categorizing blogs…wpmudev’s Blog Types and the other Blog Topics. Can anyone give feedback, tips, helpful links, on applying either of these to a BP Multisite network. I’m trying to go the best way when it comes grouping, filtering, querying by Blog Type, (ex. get all posts from Lifestyle blogs. )
I’ve also tinkered with using the xprofile fields to group by blog since I only allow one blog per person…I can tie the xprofile category dropdown to the users blog. I’ve seen the forum threads around here about creating profile types and that sounds like an option but would be tougher since it’s on the back of profiles.
I also mentioned in an old thread that it would be nice to have the bp blogs component/directory function as the groups component does, and every blog have a “group-like” profile with its own activity stream and members,etc. So I guess that would even be a 4th option…and what i would consider the best option.
Anyway just looking to see if anyone can offer up some experience.
