Posting a topic so that several groups, but not all, see it?
-
When creating a new topic, one has to choose a single group forum from the “Post in Group Forum” dropdown menu.
Has anyone seen a way to share the topic amongst multiple groups?
Here’s a use-case:
Let’s say our university’s BuddyPress site has four groups: faculty, staff, researchers, and students. The faculty, staff, and researchers want to discuss where to hold their Christmas party. Students aren’t invited. How can the three groups discuss it privately?
A workaround would the the BP Group Hierarchy plugin, which allows for subgroups within groups. But that’s awfully clunky since you’d have to make every possible combination of a groups its own subgroup. Group Everyone, with subgroup faculty + staff + researchers; subgroup faculty + staff + students; subgroup faculty + students; etc. etc.
