No way out of the box and I’m not aware of any plugins that do this, as it’s non-trivial at this stage.
nevertheless it could make sense.
hello, i was wondering exactly the same thing !
I think it can be very usefull and in fact it can help to make buddy press more clear.
Or maybe the ability to create category for put group inside !
Cause if your buddypress community is very big and lots of people create group we will have a terrible mix of all and we can be lost…
example: a category for group called music
and inside some groups like: rock, pop, alternative, jazz etc…
general forum for category and sub forums for groups inside can be very usefull too
I don’t now really how to do this but if someone think it can be done let me now !
thanks in advance

Glad to see others are interested too.
I don’t think it would be too difficult…. just use group API on group creation screen to add an extra field (SubGroupOf), store in meta data, then put a filter on group-single to list all groups with matching SubGroupOf… also put a filter on group lists around site to filter out all groups that are a sub group…
Just throwing this out there….
Anyone up for it? Unfortunately, my programming skills are sub par. Shall I start a new post in the forums?
Schwooba and Neobabs, the idea has been proposed on BuddyDev.com
http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/group-category-plugin
There is something in the works, so if you’re interested let Brajesh (the developer) know in that topic!
ok, thanks for that. But i read he plan to make it free and at this time if i register for free in buddydev.com i cannot post a message in this topic…
activation key is always invalid, do i need to pay for post a reply in this topic ? I hope no…
Cause i will not ! In any case i support buddydev.com if they plan to make it free
You should be able to post I think… strange.. you can always send Brajesh a message on BP directly:

Maybe you could make the forum as a subgroup.
