Imust be missing sometning. I don't see any options after the "Default group access" and the Disclaimer. I would like to suggest groups for users but options relating to that seem to be missing.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to suggest groups for users but options relating to that seem to be missing.

Go to the edit part of the group you wish to suggest. On the "Other" tab there is a section for "Special states". Here you can suggest this group to your users.

On the admin side you can only see which groups are being suggested (so you can remove that if you wish).

Plugin is great -- I seem to having an issue when I use the Find User(s) feature.  It keeps listing 'undefined'. Any ideas?

1.8.16

I couldn't find anything just concerning groups so if this is posted wrong, please let me know where to post.

A question about groups in general.
It seems like, members who have joined open groups can not leave them, or have I missed a setting somewhere?

@Nefea: after joining a group you should see a "Leave" button at the same location the "Join" button was visible before.

Testing it on a dummy with another member and where it said join before it say You are in this group now.
This is for open groups.
The closed groups have a large leave button at the top.

@Nefea: I can't reproduce. I see a "Leave" button regardless if it's an open or closed group, regardless if group_tools plugin is enabled or not. Maybe another plugin is changing it on your site.

I'll try to deactivate them one by one and see what does it.

Seems like it's only some users and only in some open groups.
Still haven't figured out what causes it.

I have a question: I need to add users to groups automatically by using the dropdown menus in the registration form. For example; there is a dropdown menu of classes. When I choose the "Prep1" class, I should be added to the group "Prep1". Can I do this with your plugin with a little help about hacking or do you have suggestions?

This plugin can add users to group in a lot of different ways (auto join group on registration, join based on email) but not the use case you describe.

You'll need te develop a plugin to make this possible

Hey Jerome.

Is there a way to allow the group owner to add automatically all users? Right now only admins can do that

Thanks!

No. This could allow for spamming unsuspected users

@Jerome Bakker

I have a network with an special profile type, and only those profile types can create groups. Which code can I change to allow group owners to add automatically all selected users?

*Action is blocked to certain profile types

Look at https://github.com/ColdTrick/group_tools/blob/elgg_18/views/default/forms/groups/invite.php#L140-L142 and in the action https://github.com/ColdTrick/group_tools/blob/elgg_18/actions/groups/invite.php#L15-L33

Does this plugin allow you to hide the number of group members, and their identity?

Hi,

I get this error "Invalid input to perform this action" as I try to invite a user with "Find user(s)" tab. Elgg 1.8.19.

Any idea?

Did you select the user from the dropdown list? The user should appear in a list below the input for it to work correctly

@jeabakker I don't see any dropdown list. http://hpics.li/d7cc5ff (Find user(s) is the current selected tab)

@klorydryk

Once you start typing the (user)name of a user a list should appear just below the input field with all the matched users. Select a user from this list and it should be added below the input field. repeat untill you've seleceted all the users you wish to invite and click invite.

If no list appears below the input field after typing more than 2 characters check for javascript errors on the page. This input field is a autocomplete field and thus should allow you to pick a user

No JS error... because nothing is called when I type in the input field. Just get the "OhYesChat" request every 5 seconds (tested in both Ff & Chromium).

For information, in "Friends" tab, I see the friend I want to add.

I found two bugs, when i am not logged in.

1. The "Your groups" tab shows each group multiple times. To be precise each group is shown exactly the number of users in the group. Very strange.
2. I cannot select the tab "suggested groups". When i click It shows an error message that i have to be logged on. If that is required why is the tab shown in the first place? Makes no sense to show something and then forbid to use it.
