Hi Has,
We did develop a plugin for it but the end result was not flexible enough for public release. We will like to update that and release it sometime in future.

Hi Hans,
Thank you. We do plan to take another look at it sometimes in the future.

Hi Hans,
You may use code like this to register the group types

add_action( 'bp_groups_register_group_types', function () {

	bp_groups_register_group_type(
		'school',
		array(
			'labels'                => array(
				'name'          => 'Schools',
				'singular_name' => 'School',
			),
			'has_directory'         => true,
			'show_in_create_screen' => true,
			//'show_in_list'          => null,
			'description'           => '',
			'create_screen_checked' => false, // keep it checked?
		)
	);
	bp_groups_register_group_type(
		'college',
		array(
			'labels'                => array(
				'name'          => 'Colleges',
				'singular_name' => 'College',
			),
			'has_directory'         => true,
			'show_in_create_screen' => true,
			//'show_in_list'          => null,
			'description'           => '',
			'create_screen_checked' => false, // keep it checked?
		)
	);
}
);

Change school/college with Villages/Co working

If the theme supports, The tabs will appear on group directory.

Hi Hans,
You will need to add the following to your tem,plate’s buddypress/groups/index.php

	<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_groups_get_group_types' ) ) :?>
		<?php $group_types = bp_groups_get_group_types( array(), 'objects' ); ?>
		<?php foreach ( $group_types as $group_type => $details ) : ?>
			<li id="groups-type<?php echo $group_type; ?>">
				<a href="<?php bp_group_type_directory_permalink( $group_type ); ?>"><?php echo $details->labels['name']; ?></a>
			</li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

Hi Hans,
The code is from our legacy based template. It works as nav tabs. I do not use nouveau currently, Will need a few days before I can check it on nouveau.
