Keep subpages in group context?

The “docs in the group environment” was the old Docs behavior, and you can try Boone’s plugin to restore that behavior: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs-in-group

I’m not sure if it still functional (given changes to WP and BuddyPress), but it’s simple to test in your environment.

If you have docs both in and out of groups, then having two editor environments can be confusing for your users too, so you’ll just have to see what works for your members.

Thanks, David, I’ll take a look. I’d like to explore keeping the docs in groups and using the wiki add-on for site-wide items.

I’ve done some testing and (so far) the plugin works as expected if the wiki add-on isn’t active. When it’s active, they conflict. I’ve saved the long error dump to a pdf which I’d be happy to send to you or Boone. I’m afraid that debugging this is likely beyond my skill level. It doesn’t look like there is a way to add attachments here.

Without the wiki add-on but with the “docs-in-group” plugin, there remains the site-wide /docs/ url that list all the docs from all the user’s groups and any that aren’t attached to a group.

I’d still love to be able to use the wiki add-on. Hopefully there is a simple fix.

I figured out that I could send you both the PDF via the plugin’s github issues and have done so.

Forgive me for being ignorant, but I don’t know how to get the install file for the Docs In Group link Mr. Cavins posted above. Github just doesn’t make sense to me.

Can anyone give me a brief how-to?

Thanks!

Sure, under the green “Code” button, there’s a link marked “Download ZIP” which will download the file package. Here’s the link: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs-in-group/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Thanks David. Don’t know how I missed that.

That plugin does exactly what I needed it to do.
