<p>This plugin adds two widgets to your WordPress MU/BuddyPress installation: Groups and Members. Use them instead of the Groups and Members widgets that ship with BuddyPress. They provide the ability to select which of the three tabs – Newest, Active, or Popular – will be the widget’s default view.</p>
<p>Version 0.2 of this plugin works only with BuddyPress 1.2. For earlier versions of BuddyPress, please download version 0.1 of the plugin.</p>

<p>BuddyPress Groups doesn’t have much-predefined content inside. Forums and activities are created (or not) by users. But most of the time group creators (aka administrators) have much more to say or explain to other members of the community.</p>
<p>BuddyPress Groups Extras will give the ability to them to create extra content.</p>
<h4>General</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose groups you want to allow custom fields and pages.</li>
<li>Define who will have access to managing fields or pages in groups (groups admins or site admins or both).</li>

<li>Tweak various options, like enabling Rich Editor.</li>
<li>Drag-n-drop groups nav menu items as you wish (Fields and Pages can be your new group front page!).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Custom Group Fields</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create custom fields using various types (radios, checkboxes, dropdown select, textarea, and text).</li>
<li>Edit fields data on Edit Group Details page in Group Admin area.</li>
