I am trying to build a site. Currently I have forums turned on and I can link to them to view topics and post topics.
I am trying to link up my buddypress groups with the forums (permission and all)
so that when a person clicks on forums they only see the topics associated with their group. How do I set this permission? I have been spending way too much time on this.

Clarify
Group a – Forum a and Group b- Forum b
ex. when a person registered they are auto added to Group a I only want to show this new member activity from Group a and Topics from Forum a.

I need to set permissions on the groups I think not the “role” as each new member could have the same role. HELP PLEASE

Try

It should fit the bill

Hi,

just bring this topic back to live.

I tried your plugin.
Do you think, you could include capabilities like “User group can read, but not start topics, but reply.”
Or:
“User group can read, but not start topic or reply”
Or:
“user group can not see anything”
Or:
User Group can see, but not start topic or reply.

I think, what is really needed is a “can read, can create and can reply” for each group on every forum (and maybe topic)-.

Sorry for delay in replying – have been v. busy lately !

bbpress has a rich set of capabilities which you can use to create custom roles – read the attached and you should be able to create roles to suit your needs
