Dear WPMU-users,
I'm currently in the process of setting up a wpmu/buddypress installation which is going to be used by teachers and students.
The structure we hoped to be able to create, was that every student creates his own blog on user creation (which obviously works), and that blog auto-creates several categories like "Inspiration", "storyboard", etc, in which the students can then posts their content (that's also covered by using the great New Blog Defaults plugin).
So far so good.
Now, ideally, we would like the teachers to be able to see all posts from all student blogs that are posted in the category "Inspiration" (i.e. domain.com/category/inspiration/ ).
Sadly, the normal category links don't work that way, as part of their permalink is the blog-name itself (i.e. domain.com/studentXblog/category/inspiration ), and that obviously only shows the "Inspiration" posts of just that particular student.
What would be the best way to go at this?
I have found the Site-wide Tags Plugin, but for some reason that doesn't work, as the Global Posts blog it makes keeps showing up empty.
And the reason we chose categories as opposed to tags is that categories have parent/child structures which we would like to use.
Any thoughts or ideas would be very welcome!
