Do you know a Wordpress plugin that provides the ability to group subscribers? It would be nice if there was a page for each group where a photo and some information can be inserted.

The final website will be for a basketball club. So I need the groups as the teams.

I haven't found anything so far.

I've created a plugin that does just what you're looking for: User Groups

A plug-in like Cimy User Extra Fields allows you to attach custom meta fields to users. You could set up a text field called "Team" for your users, then you can run a custom query against that field to present a list of members of each team on a custom page.

There's also a plug-in called User Access Manager that allows you to set up explicit groups of members.

I haven't used either plug-in, so while I can't personally vouch for their usability, they do come highly recommended from some of my colleagues.


Update

There's also a plug-in I wrote some time ago called RegLevel. It was used at the time create separate user groups for Affiliate sales by a specific client, though I've spoken with people who have used it in other ways as well. If you pair it with a role management plug-in (like Role Scoper), you can create custom "Roles" with custom titles.

So a specific use case:

  1. Copy the "Subscriber" role and create a "Team 1" role a "Team 2" role and a "Team 3" role
  2. Use RegLevel to create custom registration URLs for each team

Anyone who uses, say, http://blog.url/?reglevel=team1 to create an account will automatically be assinged to the Team 1 role. If anyone signs up as a regular user, you can easily move them from the Subscriber role to the Team 1 role.

  • I already found those two plugins aswell. For the first method I am too lazy because I am doing this for free. :P – jex Oct 15 '10 at 16:14
  • I'd be very careful equating laziness with "doing this for free." WordPress itself is free, built by developers who are mostly working for free, and you're on a free forum asking for help ... :) But if you don't want to try the Cimy plug-in, give User Access Manager a try. Also, see the other option I've posted ... – EAMann Oct 15 '10 at 16:23
  • The User Access Manager is not what I am looking for because it doesn't have any kind of group pages and the group pages should the centre of all this. But I will have a look at your RegLevel plugin. Thx for your FREE advice ;) – jex Oct 15 '10 at 16:37
  • The only way you can get "group pages" would be to convert your system to a BuddyPress installation and use their built-in social networking features ... which might be overkill for what you're doing. The alternative would be custom coding in a custom page template that pulls a list of users associated with a group. – EAMann Oct 15 '10 at 16:46

Seems like there isn't such a plugin. Instead I used Joomla! with the extension Club by Daniel Scott.
This is perferct for sport club sites.
