is this a bug: groups - owner and membership ??
I'm currently switching from elgg 1.5 to current 1.8 version. As I noticed, the joined groups of a user are not displayed, as I expected.
I dived into the groups/lib/groups.php and had a look at groups_handle_mine_page(). I don't understand the separation for page_owner and not page_owner. The name of the function implicates, this function lists all of MY (the users) joined groups (not for something else).
In my case, the page_owner is the admin. The user, who is calling this function, is someone diffent.
I tryed to change the code from
$content = elgg_list_entities_from_relationship(array(
'type' => 'group',
'relationship' => 'member',
'relationship_guid' => elgg_get_page_owner_guid(),
'inverse_relationship' => false,
'full_view' => false,
));
to
$content = elgg_list_entities_from_relationship(array(
'type' => 'group',
'relationship' => 'member',
'relationship_guid' => elgg_get_logged_in_user_guid(),
'inverse_relationship' => false,
'full_view' => false,
));
and that is working for me.
If I'm right, then some of the lines above may be obsolete, and it my be senseful to check the function groups_handle_owned_page() for the same reason.
BTW: I think, it would be much more consistent to have "memberships" and "ownerships" in the tabbed menue instead of having them in the sidebar. (I already changed this for my needs.)

You must log in to post replies.You don't have to change anything (and you shouldn't). The page_owner is there to support browsing both user's own groups and the groups of anyone else whose username you add to the url.
Example 1 - You are logged in:
www.site.com/groups/owner/westor
Displays the groups that you own. The heading is "Groups I own".
www.site.com/groups/owner/john
Displays the groups that the user John owns. The heading is "Groups John owns". The heading changes because page_owner != logged_in_user (John != Westor).
Example 2 - User John is logged in:
www.site.com/groups/owner/john
Title: "Groups I own"
www.site.com/groups/onwer/westor
Title: "Groups Westor owns"
Yes, that's what I would expect. But why this is not working - at least not for me? May be a datastructure change (elgg 1.5.x upgraded)?
What is the page_owner in this case?
So what exactly do you see on that page (without your modifications)? How does it change when you change someone else's username to the URL? Did I understand correctly that it thinks page owner is always admin no matter whose username you use?
Oh, thank you for answering here, I found my mystake - I have an url issue with the name. OK, if you use a not exiting username, you will get all groups back: .../community/groups/member/xxxx
