Hi Brajesh
Ah OK… I didn’t realise they were two separate plugins but that makes sense. If you wouldn’t mind sending me BuddyBlog Groups as it currently stands, that would be very much appreciated and at the very least I can start familiarising myself with things.
With so many thanks in advance.
NikHi again Brajesh… just realised that as I have not yet actually purchased BuddyBlog Pro (as I was waiting for the group functionality), it may be a problem for you to share the beta version. If that’s the case and I can help by making a purchase, just let me know and I will get that sorted immediately 😉
Fingers crossed all is going well and will look forward to hearing from you.
NikHi Brajesh
Thank you so much for keeping me updated and that’s wonderful news. Would you be willing/able to let me have a beta version for testing as you suggested earlier? (I already have an environment set up where I’ve been testing other solutions which claim to handle groups functionality and I’m really hoping yours is going solve various issues I’ve come across with the others!)
Either way… will look forward to hearing from you.
NikThank you again Brajesh.
Hope it’s all going well and looking forward to hearing further news 😉
Regards
NikHi Brajesh
Sorry to trouble you again but as it’s been a couple of weeks, just wondering if there’s any update on when the groups functionality will be available?
Oh and even if not quite ready but you need any testers, please do let me know.
With fingers crossed…
NikMany thanks Brajesh and apologies for being so impatient 😉
Wishing you and @ravisharma all the very best with the development and I’ll look forward to hearing news of the beta/release in due course.
Warm regards
NikHi Brajesh
I notice that there was an update to the BuddyBlog Pro plugin on Friday and was just wondering whether by any chance that included the new groups features or whether I need to be patient and wait a bit longer? 😉
As mentioned above, I’d be very happy to test any beta version of the groups options if/when it’s available.
With many thanks in advance and will look forward to hearing from you.
NikHi Brajesh
Thank you for your honesty… I have a few other tasks which need sorting in the meantime so will see how I get on.
Is there anywhere in particular that I should out for an announcement when the beta version is ready/available?
Regards
NikHi Brajesh
Would I be right in thinking the post in groups feature will be part of BuddyBlog Pro and therefore will require purchase of the same?
I’m currently only using Blog Categories for Groups together with BP Simple Front End Post (becasuse I don’t actually need members to be able to post from their own profiles) but if the above is true then I’ll go ahead and purchase anway so that I can start testing the general concept (as well as field types for events etc).
Warm regards
NikHi Brajesh
Thank you for getting back to me.
1. Sorry yes… point taken.
2. That’s great news! I’m currently working on a site that focuses almost entirely on various custom post types being posted in groups not profiles, and as you’re probably aware, there are very few (if any) that take this approach. I’ve been attempting to adapt existing plugins but it’s a slow process so your plugin sounds as if it may be exactly what I’ve been hoping fo and save me a lot of time.
If you need any beta testers, I’d be very grateful to be considered (especially as I already have some idea of the challenges involved.)
3. What you say makes sense. I’d be very happy to test with both “The Events Calendar” and “Events Manager” plugins to see what field types might be missing.
Regards
Nik
