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:**

* P2 integration and frontend posting.
* 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

4) run through the admin setup options

5) You are done!
