    Hi Brajesh, I’m trying to improve the usefulness of the group home page, what I would like to do is create a composite page, which shows summaries of the content of other pages, as well as the group activity feed.

    As an example, and as a first step, what I would like to do is change the display of the group home page so that (if a forum exists) first the latest ten group forum topics are displayed, followed by the standard activity stream.

    I have tried playing with activity.php, by including the content of forum.php but this does not work. Have you got any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this?

    My ultimate aim is to have a group home page that provides summary information for all the groups activity items. So for example, I would like the group landing page to show an extended description of the group with images and embeded videos, the 10 latest forum topics, the last five group blog post links, possibly a slider of any images loaded to the group gallery.

    I’m used to social networking software created by Ning and this is exactly what they do, the aim is to bring the whole of the group to the user with one click of the group avatar, instead of expecting users to browse through the various group pages.

    Some of these items I think should be implemented as sidebar widgets, for example that slider of the latest images uploaded to the group gallery would be a good candidate for that. Others I think should be doable as code snippets in the activity.php file though ideally these would be plugins that would allow the group administrator to choose which aspects of the group to summarise in the group home page. So fir example, the group admin would have a configurationpage as follows:

    Group Homepage composition

    Enable Display of the extended Group Information
    Enable Summary Display of the last (X) Forum topics
    Enable Summary display of the last (X) Group Posts
    Enable Summary Display of the last (x) Group Docs
    Enable Summmary display of the lasy (X) File uploads
    Enable Group Image Slider for (x) Gallery

    What do you think? Is what I seek doable or will it take a whole lot of coding which I do not have the skills for? I know its a big project but I’m thinking if I bite it one aspect at a time, in this case trying to get the last ten forum topic listed, then I might get there.

    Hi,

    I have installed teh Buddy Blog plugin with BP Simple Front End Post to allow users to have their own blog. I am having trouble understanding how i set up categories. At the moment i have set up 5 categories in my wp installation. Now all these are visible to all users. How do I set up the plugin so that users only have lets say 3 cat available, but I as admin still have several others?

    Regards.

    Terjemk
