BP Groups CiviCRM Sync

The BP Groups CiviCRM Sync plugin provides two-way synchronisation between CiviCRM Groups and BuddyPress Groups. For each BuddyPress Group, the plugin will automatically create two CiviCRM Groups:

• A « Member Group » (of type « Mailing List ») containing a Contact record for each corresponding BuddyPress Group Member. This Group is assigned the same name as the linked BuddyPress Group.
• An « ACL Group » (of type « Access Control ») containing the Contact records of the Administrators of the corresponding BuddyPress Group. This gives BuddyPress Group Administrators the ability to view and edit their Group Members in CiviCRM.

When a new Member is added to (or joins) a BuddyPress Group, they are automatically added to the corresponding CiviCRM Group. Likewise, when a Contact is added to the CiviCRM « Member Group », they will be added as a Member to the corresponding BuddyPress Group. If a Contact is added to the CiviCRM « ACL Group », they will be added to the BuddyPress Group as an Administrator.

This plugin works in a similar way to the Drupal Organic Groups CiviCRM module. Existing Groups in CiviCRM that were generated by the Drupal Organic Groups CiviCRM module can be migrated to become BuddyPress-compatible CiviCRM Groups.
