The previous release (2.4) was designed for Elgg 1.8.3 so it should work.

However I would advise you to check if you could upgrade to the latest release of Elgg. There are several security fixes as well as a huge performance increase. Think about it ;)

Thanks!

great plugin. thank you so much. Is there any possibilty to add users to a specific group without invitation and join request via this tool? thanks, c--

As a site admin you can add users directly to a group. Group admins/owners can't do this.

ah yeah, found it! That's great! thanks a lot

Hi Jerome. Group_Tools is a great plugin, congratulations!

In my web agujero.net, I have a group with more than 4500 users, it's the bigest! If your plugin is active it's impossible to access to edit the group configuration, always show a diferent Elgg database errors. Is your pluging is not active all run fine. I have this problems only in this big group, the rest works fine and it's possible to edit his configuration. Any idea?

Jerome. Have you looked at doing subgroups in your plugin? There is a plugin from Lorea.cc called Subgroups but from my testing it is incompatible with your plugin.

@Thomas Yung: have you tested this plugin yet: http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1104964/1.6/au-subgroups?

Hello. I'm using this plugin with Elgg 1.8.16 and have a problem when setting "Group activity" wight. I can add "Group activity" wight in my profile page, however, when I click wheel icon and select one or more group(s), Ican't save this setting. An error message "We could not save your widget." is appeared. Does anyone else have a same problem?

Sorry, I sholud read "Note" carefully. I could slove my problem by installsing:

Is it possible to have an group access option that leaves the group as an "open" one (e.g. non-logged-in users can browse content) but allow users only to join if invited or if their "application" is accepted by the group admin?

hello, loved this plugin!

is there a way to the user itself cancel the group notifications? I could not find this option, only found when the owner of the group or the admin enter on the other/options in the edit group, and set to enable or disable the group notifications for everyone!

Ah, it was an option in the second tab of the group edit menu, which I couldn't acces due to a plugin conflict with the coomunity_groups plugin.

Anyways, here you can find a short tutorial how to hack the group-tools plugin to display groups according to a group-profile field set with the profile manager plugin:

i have been testing gallicache recently and the increase in page speed is attractive to me. some bugs have been fixed with it.. presently i am seeing that gallicache is not interacting with page_tools and group_tools (and login_redirector), the cause appears to be some type of html structure glitch.

with page_tools activated all the pages from the pages mod are rendered twice, the 2nd repeat of the page is rendered beneath the original page.

with group_tools the group profiles break when the cached page is loaded (e.g. the page is loaded twice, since the 1st load caches the page onto the hd). i am seeing these characters appearing in the group profile 'owner_block': ");

@coldtrick coders: are you interested/willing to debug this?
thanks

Hey guys cheers, i have installed this plugins but still i cannout add the users dierectly to the group. Only invites menu appears but not the invite users. I need to assing the registered users directly to the group. So guys if you could help me what shall i do. 

I cannot invite the users using CSV files. What might be  the problem 

hmmm. i am unsure why, but the group_tools issue is no longer occurring on my site.. possibly it was caused by my own code. :)

Hey, I'm new to Elgg and PHP, but I'm trying to learn.

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?

Suggestion for future upgrade: 
It will be important to have the option: 
Enable delete group: On / Off 
Only configuration administrator community. 
Thanks, great plugin.

I put it on the list https://github.com/ColdTrick/group_tools/issues/70

Anyone tried inviting users via a CSV file? I tried it but not working even in a fresh install. I doubt maybe it's the csv format problem, but I have tried every possible options as the instructions like 

example1;exmample@gmail.com | example2;example2@gmail.com
​

example1 | exmample@gmail.com
example2 | example2@gmail.com

Can anyone share an example CSV file please if my format is wrong

@damieneskimo

Anyone tried inviting users via a CSV file?

the format is explained on the CSV upload page.

displayname;emailaddress
displayname2;emailaddress2

@Jerome Bakker I saw the instructions on that page and it's pretty clear. In my case, the culprit is Mac Numbers. I use it to export a CSV file and it never worked. Then I switched to Google Sheet and tried the same thing, It worked.
