S2member + buddypress + groupblogs
Posted: May 15th, 2011, 1:03 amGreetings,
I have a rather unique, but potentially very powerful setup including s2member, buddypress, and groupblogs. For those of you who are not familiar with groupblogs, it allows each BP groups to have their own blog, using subdomain blogs.
The plugin is available here
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/
My problem is because each of the groups blogs are mu independent blogs, they aren't running s2member and I'm stuck as to the correct way to block access to these blogs. I can't have them running s2member either as it would expose my paypal credentials to any group admin who setups their own blog.
I want to block access to blogs based on s2member, because I want to make private bp groups and only invite level 2,3,4 members to these hidden groups.
In lines with this, i was interested in allowing my level 3 and level 4 to make their own blogs. I believe that there are some simply ways to restrict this already, so will deal with that later.
