BuddyPress Auto Join Groups GPL v1.2.5

BuddyPress Auto Join Groups GPL Overview

The BuddyPress Auto Join Groups plugin is designed to automate the process of adding users to BuddyPress groups based on certain conditions. Site admins can create multiple auto-join lists that define which users should be added to specific groups, either globally or based on profile data. This helps streamline group management and ensures users are automatically added to relevant groups without requiring manual intervention.

BuddyPress Auto Join Groups GPL Features

1. Automates Group Joining

• Global Lists: Admins can create global lists, where users are added to specific groups automatically, regardless of their profile data. This is ideal for groups that all users should be part of, such as site-wide announcements or community-wide discussions.
• Conditional Lists: Admins can create conditional lists based on user profile data or member type. Users who meet the specified conditions will be added to the groups in the list. This allows for targeted group memberships, ensuring users are added to groups relevant to their interests or roles.

2. Multiple Group Lists

• Create Multiple Lists: Admins can create as many global and conditional lists as needed. This flexibility allows for complex group management based on various criteria.
• Associating Groups with Lists: Each list can have multiple groups associated with it. If a user matches the conditions of a list, they will automatically be added to all groups within that list.

3. Customizable Matching Conditions

• Profile Data and Member Type: Matching conditions can be based on a user’s profile fields (e.g., age, location, interests) or their member type (e.g., subscriber, moderator, etc.).
• Multiple Conditions: Admins can define one or more conditions for each list. A user must meet all the conditions for the list to be considered a match and be added to the groups.

4. Flexible Testing Triggers

• Trigger Options: Admins can specify when the user should be tested for matching a list. Available options include:
  • Account Activation: When a user first activates their account.
  • Profile Update: When a user updates their profile.
  • Member Type Update: When a user’s member type changes.

5. Bulk Synchronization

• Synchronize Existing Users: Admins can use the bulk synchronization feature to automatically search all existing users and add them to the specified groups if they meet the conditions of the current list. This ensures that no user is missed and that all users are correctly placed in their relevant groups.
