## Description

Automatically join a member to a group based on a profile field. For example, say
you have a profile field where the person selects his state from a drop down list.
If he selects, New York, he’ll be automatically added to the group New York. Or,
if you have a profile field for “Favorite Animal” and the member selects “Dog”, 
you could automatically have him become a member of the group “Dog’s Rule” and “
Best Dog Food”.

### Arbitrary section

None

### A brief Markdown Example

None

## Installation

 1. Upload the folder `bn-auto-join-group` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Configure in wp-admin via `Profile -> Groups Link` under the `Site Admin` section

## FAQ

  What version of BuddyPress is needed?

This plugin was tested with version 1.0.3 of BuddyPress.

  What if I add a link to an existing profile field?

The profile of all members will be scanned. Any members that makes the new link,
will automatically be joined to the appropriate BuddyPress group.

  Why would I install this?

If you are using BuddyPress, groups may be the soul of what you are doing. This 
plugin will be sure members get into groups that they should be joining. A good 
example is a site based on a college. If you wanted all the English majors to be
members of the `English` group, you would create a profile field where the member
selects his major. Any member who selects `English` for the profile field, will 
be automatically made a member of the `English` group.
