Description

Hi All,

I have a faculty member teaching a completely online, OER course this Fall with a connected group - site. She wants students to join the group to be automatically added to the site, and also so that she can email the class through the Commons. Students will be posting on the site blog sometimes. The professor will also post on the site blog to share announcements and updates.

Ideal situation: The professor would prefer if only admin posts were sent to the forum for dissemination via email.

As it stands with group-site functionality currently, every site post is auto sent to the group forum. There is a way to de-select/un-check "send to group blog" but it is unreasonable to assume that every student will remember to un-check this box every time.

So my questions:
- Is it possible to make the "send to group blog" by default "off" aka de-selected? This way the professor could just select or check the box when posting their own posts. I didn't see any options in the site settings to adjust this function, maybe because it is run by buddy press?
- Is there a way to set it up so that site admins can determine which user roles' posts are sent to group forum (aka only admin posts vs admins + authors + all users)?
- If not possible universally, could we trial run it on this site&group? (this seems unlikely but figured I would ask.)

Let me know if this makes sense and/or if more clarification and info is needed.

Maybe this site blog to group forum connection functionality is something we discuss in fall development conversation if we plan to tackle group interface this year.
