Filter list of blog posts by group(s)

Hi,

I’ve created a plugin that shows how to do it – maybe it’s already sufficient for what you want to do:

https://github.com/itthinx/groups-sandbox

Please download the repository’s zip file and install it Plugins > Add New …

Now you can use the shortcode [groups_sandbox_posts] to embed a list of posts on any page. The shortcode takes several attributes which are documented in the plugin’s readme.txt – you’ll also see it on https://github.com/itthinx/groups-sandbox

Here are some example usages based on your questions:

Can I make a list of blog posts that contains only posts for members of Group A? Another one for Group B? And another one for Group C?

[groups_sandbox_posts group="A"]
[groups_sandbox_posts group="B"]
[groups_sandbox_posts group="C"]

Also, can I make for example a list of blog posts with posts just for Group A and C?

[groups_sandbox_posts group="A,C"]

If you don’t provide the attribute suppress_filters="yes" the above will only render post links for visitors who are allowed to access those restricted posts.

At some point we might add such a shortcode to the core Groups plugin but I suppose that this will help you, you can of course customize it to your needs …

Wow thnx,
that seems to just what I need, fab!!!

I’ll give it a try tomorrow, or probably next week, and let you know how it worked out ??

Great! Please let me know how it works out ??
