Don’t know if this is any use to anyone and no doubt there are far better ways of doing it but just in case it is of use….
I’ve created (hacked really) a plugin made up of 3 files, one of which is useless for now but at a future point I’d like to play around with it.
bp-group-catdisp.php

You don’t have any groups to manage.

The first two hard code a group by ID and display a selected wordpress category within that group. The last file is the useless one. I’d started hacking from one of @boonebgorges plugins with the idea of creating an admin screen from which groups could be linked to blog categories.
I’ve run out of time for now to play with that further and so for now am just going to duplicate the first two files for another couple of groups which will work for my purposes.
