Community based on private groups only

By Uwe Heldt 4313 days ago

Hi all,

I'm considering if elgg is the best tool for my needs and need your help.

I would like to setup a community with a couple of private groups. Members of a group should

see other group members only,
see group related content only,
see group related discussions only,
see group related stuff on the activity stream / dashboard only

Is that possible with elgg? Out-of-the box or with plugins or does this require modifications or is elgg the wrong tool for that?

Cheers,

Uwe

It's definitely possible, though not out of the box. It will require some custom coding to enforce restricted access, but the base system is there and malleable enough that I would consider elgg an appropriate tool.

Hi Uwe,
did you manage to create your groups only community? How?
I would like to do something like:
every user when registering to the site chooses a group, which is closed;

in the navbar he should see the Activity, Blog, Pages, Photo, File and so on of his group and not the site wide one

Any help is very appreciated :-)
Thanks,
Matteo
