Feature #1329
closedCreate Plugin to Make it Easier to Add Users to a Blog
0%
Description
I think that adding users to as authors to a blog should be as easy as inviting them to a group. Is there any way we can create a plugin for WordPress that would create a BuddyPress like-list of all members and that would allow members to easily invite others to their blog without having to get the user name and registered email address correct? It's currently a pretty convoluted system -- especially because the display email doesn't necessarily match the email for notifications, so users don't know what address a person has registered with -- and I would love to see it become more intuitive.

I'll work on it. In the meantime, if you have more specific details about how you want it to look and work, please let me know - I'd hate to sink a bunch of time into an implementation that doesn't match what you're imagining.

I'm thinking of something that looks more or less like the interface one sees when inviting members to a group. As long as member ids pop up as one begins to type, we're golden.

Hi Boone,
I just tried out this new feature and was wondering, is it possible to update the language on the "Add Existing User" page to reflect that it's the username and not email that should be entered? Also, I noticed some conflicting terms for adding a new user. The link in the left nav. is "add new" and the button on the landing page for Users is "Add Existing." Not a biggie, but wasn't sure if we wanted them to match.
Best,
Sarah

The autocomplete searches by email address, username, and display name.

That's related to #1250. Unless there is some outcry of confusion from the community, I'd like to avoid mucking about with WP's core menus. Let's hold off on that change.
