My situation is exactly opposite.
Because my community are mostly non-English users, so I want to remove the groupsname form URL.
It seems easy, which files should I to modify?

search for the function groups_url() in the group's start.php - remove the title there

Got it. Thanks, Cash.

Hi,

I would like to have a "clone" of groups as well, can anybody tell me how to do that, which text has to be renamed?

Thanks!

So, I have changed in every file the term groups/group with my new term, trying to folow the instructions for copy a plug-in in Docs here, but apparently I overlooked something and my way was to simple. Anyone with experience can help here?

I'm looking for exactly the same thing!

The group plugin is quite complicated it would seem duplicating it is and far beyond my programming capacity. Not far beyond my marketing idea's however. An additional 'group' styled custom content plugin for 'towns' 'venues' 'pubs' 'eateries' 'dorms' (list goes on) would surely be adventageous for all ELGG users who want a focussed channel beyond the free-for-all-and-anything 'groups'.

Elgg rocks.
