Kia ora Don
Hey! Great that you're using elgg in NZ. We're using it extensively in our NGO in Taranaki. It's brilliant. AU Subgroups is the puppy for what you're after, and works more or less perfectly (aside from the hiccups detailed above). What are you using elgg for?
Nga mihi nui, Jamie
Kia Ora. I have been playing with Elgg since it was v0.9 - just because it is interesting. Our local community network showed some interest but wound up just going back to Joomla.
I have been interested in doing something with it for ages - but has yet to pan out. EG - mentioned it to my son's cricket club, but they thought Criqhq could do it all ... well, how'd that work out? (https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/97993919/crichqs-sudden-collapse-a-surprise-to-nz-cricket)
Also my other son's playcentre was interested - but the national playcentre association hired some big wig developers to provide a 'solution' .... which we have yet to see.
Anyway - I deleted my old install when tidying up the server and now putting it on again - see if I can interest the playcentre again.
Basic problem is that I like playing with the software a lot more than I like trying to sell the idea to people :-)
ANyway - when I get it going, how about I set up a group for NZ elgg admins :-)
Kia ora dear Don
Interesting! We use it extensively and find it invaluable for our team. I'm interested in the group idea for discussion. Whereabouts are you based?
Cheers, Jamie
thanks Ismayil
If I chose to do this a different way, say by implementing sub-groups and limiting access to a specific group instead of a domain, would that work?
Are you interested in helping if I did this?
I cannot find anyone available on fiverr.com to do elgg work.
thanks
@philosofree the group_tools plugin has a feature where users auto-join groups based on their emaildomain. If you make all those groups closed groups, you could maybe achieve what you need..
Feel free to send me an email and I can at least give you some estimates. Not sure fiverr rates is something I am willing to slave myself for :) Try upwork.com or freelancer.com, you can't really set a price on plugin development until you know the requirements, there is always a margin for bug fixes, testing, changing requirements, unexpected challenges etc.
