[Resolved] Assigning blog posts to a Group

    OK, here’s another dumb question.

    Blog posts in WP may be assigned a category. But how can I assign them to a Group? Seems like a pretty obvious thing to me. Again, maybe I’m not looking hard enough.

    Nothing like this is built into BuddyPress.

    Dang! Well, the problem is, I could just use forum topics to blog with so that I could stay in tune with a particular group, but the forum won’t allow image embeds, (not obviously anyway).

    So then I could try blogging with some form of gallery plugin using just the comments fields as a blogging space but I don’t know even where to begin there.

    So what I am trying to do is actually embrace the BuddyPress philosophy but I can’t quite link all aspects of WP and BP together. If I could somehow get blog categories to merge with groups, I think I’d be set.

    For example, if on the Groups page I would select a topic. The page for that topic now displays three tabs: Home, Forum and Members. If there was another tab there called “Blogs” that would call up all blog posts asscociated with that group, that would be awesome, (well I think so anyway).

    @mercime Exceptional looking plugin that configures and appears to work exactly as I wanted except that right at the finishing post, it falls over when I click the “Blog” tab with a 404 error. Unbelievably frustrating.

    I’m just looking at the comment thread now at BuddyDev for this plugin. I notice you have been active there. When I set this up, I dived straight in without any docs so not sure if I have left any steps out.

    I really should read the docs!!! Neglected to move the bcg folder in with the current theme.

    @mercime Fabulous. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. Happy Easter!
