BuddyPress Groupblog extends the group functionality by enabling the group to have a single blog associated with it.

== Description ==

Requires BuddyPress 1.7+ and PHP 5.3+.

The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin extends the group functionality by enabling each group to have a single blog associated with it. Group members are automatically added to the blog and will have blog roles as set by the groupblog admin settings.

Features:

• Admin can set Template specific groupblogs.
• Allow group admins choose the desired template page themselves.
• Full blog theme integration. The included bp-groupblog theme mimics the group pages.
• Automated blog registration at group creation stage.
• Bypass default blog validation to allow dashes, underscores, numeral only and minimum character count.
• Blog privacy settings are initially inherited from group privacy settings.
• Group members are automatically added to the blog.
• Blog roles match group roles as set by the group admin.
• Solid error checking that the blog follows validation.
• Group admin tab to access the group-blog settings.
• Blog themes will have the ability to pull in group info and create a theme that could resemble the group exactly.
• Leaving the group will downgrade the member role to 'subscriber'.
• Allow the group admin to select one of his/her existing blogs.
• A new ajax backend.

== Installation ==

1) unzip the bp-groupblog.zip file into /wp-contents/plugins/bp-groupblog

2) move all the themes in bp-groupblog/themes/ to your WP themes folder

3) activate the plugin
