BuddyPress.org

Yeah I know. I found this same solution last night (stayed up till 2am). Is there another method of separating the member areas? Or simply use your own links and so on to make sure that people can’t “slip over” to the other blog’s member area?

Thanks.

OK, there is a plugin called Network+ that actually allows you to have multiple multisite networks within the main multisite network. Each of these sub networks could have its own BuddyPress network on it, essentially creating multiple BuddyPress social networks.

There is some configuration needed to a certain file plus the plugin setup and install and it seems just a tad complicated (although by the look of it, I could certainly manage it and I will try this if all else fails).

But my other question was, would another method of achieving what I want be to simply keep the one BuddyPress social network (without the above nested sub-network solution) and then somehow hide certain BuddyPress groups on my sub-blogs so that only the people who signed up through that particular blog would only see the groups I wanted them to see for that particular blog.

Does that make sense?

In other words, let’s say I have my main root site A with BP installed. I also have sub-site B and sub-site C, which obviously share the same BP network as site A. I then create three BP groups associated with my sites called group A, group B, and group C. Now normally, regardless of whether a user signed up through site A, B, or C, they would all see groups A, B, and C on their groups page after logging in.

But what if there was a way to simply hide them? For example, if user John Smith had originally signed up through site B, then John Smith would only see group B on his groups page (because I hid groups A and C from him).

Is this possible? Granted, it’s not a true separation, but if no one is never presented with a link to “cross over” to another site’s group, then would that method work?
