Feedback and Suggestions

Hi, @venutius
thank you for this useful plugin. I needed this plugin but I did not pay attention because of its name.

All I want is a Group2Page plugin and this plugin does the work, but the problem is Labels and Slugs. Why limit its potential to fan pages only?

People may want to create a personal page to test a project or a professional page to showcase their work and be hired. Or just a restricted group but not necessarily for fans.

This plugin is excellent for this task. Well, I renamed Labels (Fan Page to Public Page, Private Fan Page to Private Page….)

As for the slugs, in order to avoid a probable conflict with wp pages I renamed them
to “ppage”, “ppages”. The initial p stands for personal/professional.

I think that it is not easy for someone who wants to do the same thing, if they are not comfortable with code.

I strongly recommend to rename the plugin, for example “Group2Page”, “Restricted Group”, “Group Controls”…. whatever you think, with neutral labels and slugs in order to unlock its potential.

And this potential is enormous, because you can add various restrictions as options. For example: let group creator decide restrictions for the memberlist (now the memberlist is hidden by default), activity commenting, … and support for other plugins.

Well, I used the line 174 to integrate some restrictions for plugins: mediapress uploads, publishing for BP Event Manager, sharing for BuddyPress Activity Social Share… So your plugin is very useful to restrict other plugins also.

PS If you decide to change the slug, you should avoid “gpages” because it will have a conflict with Slaffik’s plugin BP Group Extras

In any case, I will give it a 5-star review, because it deserves it.
