Wordpress Plugin to group subscribers

Question

Do you know a Wordpress plugin that provides the ability to group subscribers? It would be nice if there was a page for each group where a photo and some information can be inserted.

The final website will be for a basketball club. So I need the groups as the teams.

I haven't found anything so far.

Answer 1

Seems like there isn't such a plugin. Instead I used Joomla! with the extension Club by Daniel Scott.
This is perferct for sport club sites.

Answer 2

I've created a plugin that does just what you're looking for: User Groups

Answer 3

A plug-in like Cimy User Extra Fields allows you to attach custom meta fields to users. You could set up a text field called "Team" for your users, then you can run a custom query against that field to present a list of members of each team on a custom page.

There's also a plug-in called User Access Manager that allows you to set up explicit groups of members.

I haven't used either plug-in, so while I can't personally vouch for their usability, they do come highly recommended from some of my colleagues.

Update

There's also a plug-in I wrote some time ago called RegLevel. It was used at the time create separate user groups for Affiliate sales by a specific client, though I've spoken with people who have used it in other ways as well. If you pair it with a role management plug-in (like Role Scoper), you can create custom "Roles" with custom titles.

So a specific use case:

1. Copy the "Subscriber" role and create a "Team 1" role a "Team 2" role and a "Team 3" role
2. Use RegLevel to create custom registration URLs for each team

Anyone who uses, say, http://blog.url/?reglevel=team1 to create an account will automatically be assinged to the Team 1 role. If anyone signs up as a regular user, you can easily move them from the Subscriber role to the Team 1 role.
