Groups not showing from profile pages (only from dropdown)

Using Jamroom

Right. BUT when I tested that, it also made the "groups I follow" (dropdown option from their profile name) disappear.

I was thinking I wanted this option to remain.

hmmmm....

Let me try phrasing my challenge this way.

Only a very few members have created groups/will create groups.

A far greater number of members belongs to at least one private group (some members belong to several private groups).

If I delete groups from the main category quota, then HOW would those members who ARE in private groups FIND those private groups (other than going to the tab from the main menu bar of the site, which would take them to ALL private groups)?

I could create a separate quota for all members who belong in a private group... it would be tedious initially, but then would simply mean that we would need to make it a habit to switch quotas any time a member joins a private group.

hmmmm.... I'll ponder this some more.
Thank you to everyone for your replies ~

Groups not showing from profile pages (only from dropdown)

Using Jamroom

Yes, you're getting what I want Strumelia, but I think I can avoid the challenge you're referring to by putting those very few members into a different quota.

Our MAIN MEMBERS quota is the ONLY one I would like to hide 'groups' tab from appearing on their profile pages.

We are using the awesome-and-perfect-for-us solution of jrDiscussions (not the Forum that comes in the core) and THAT is where 90% (plus/minus) of public site activity will be.

If anyone wants to inquire about setting up a private group, they could easily do so there. http://lewwwpcom.jamroomhosting.com/community/discussion-categories

Then I would just have to move them to a new quota.

If that could happen for ONE quota only, I'd be thrilled.

Thanks,
Holly

Private group (puzzle: member cannot edit posts)

Using Jamroom

Interesting. So maybe I should put in a support ticket?
It is not working for this member.

I'll test it with my 'alter ego'/standard user self's account, too. My other self just requested to join a private group, my admin self approved 'me', and then my other self posted and was able to edit that post. Yup. That works fine.

So it's just a problem in this one instance. I'll ask that person to try joining another private group, and see if her problem replicates in that group, too.

Let me ask this question here, though, in case it helps others (in this or similar situations).

If I 'delete' this member from our private group, change the settings to allow requests to join, and invite her to join the group again, (to see if this might fix the challenge/problem), would her existing posts return along with her?

Would we lose her posts and replies if she 'leaves' the group and then comes back?

Thanks,
Holly

Groups not showing from profile pages (only from dropdown)

Using Jamroom

@Strumelia Yes. You understand exactly where I'm coming from (from a Ning perspective). I had forgotten/not realized that the groups tab would show CREATED groups rather than joined groups.

@Michael. No. (Strumelia guessed my goof).

But from the link that Strumelia shared [https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/26650/changing-what-shows-in-the-groups-tab-on-profile-pages] , Brian said:


But. On my 'alter ego' profile (as a standard user), I DO see this 'blank groups page' when I click on the groups tab.

This will be a huge challenge for us unless we can somehow KEEP the "groups I follow" option in the dropdown while NOT showing the 'groups' tab on their profile tab menu. Is this possible (to 'hide' a tab from a quota's view?).

Out of our hundreds of members, only a handful have created or will create any new groups. Our members are 99%+ non-native English speakers.
Having this "groups" tab "in their face" take them to a blank gray wall may well bewilder and/or frustrate many.

Private group (puzzle: member cannot edit posts)

Using Jamroom

We are still in developer mode.

We created a new private group here in JamRoom and have 3 members.
Two of the members are master admins, the third is a 'standard' user.

This third member can add new discussions, reply to comments: no problem.

But this same member cannot EDIT any of her posts. (she sees ONLY the RSS and 'follow' icons)

I'm not finding anything in the ACP or documentation or here in this forum to help me with this.

Surely private group members should be able to edit the posts they add?

What am I not thinking of/about to rectify this?

Thank you ~

Master admins, of course, see this option. What am I doing wrong / Where do I go to correct this?

*Note: When this third member joined, I had the settings at 'allowed'. [Not sure if that could possibly have any bearing?].

Groups not showing from profile pages (only from dropdown)

Using Jamroom

I hope I can explain this.

When a non-master admin member clicks on the 'groups' tab from his/her profile page [tested with 2 'standard' members], this is what we see (attachment).

But when these same members use the subtabs seen from hovering over their name, and click on "groups you follow", the groups we've joined are there.

How do we get the groups to populate when we click on the profile tab, too?

Thanks,

how to set [s] bbcode for "strikethrough" site-wide?

Design and Skin Customization

Aha. Yes. Doh! That makes sense.
It's a good thing Joanna is here to help me.
[Though I'll appreciate having the bbcode here in the forum and for support tickets, too.]
Thank you, @Michael

Excellent.
Joanna was excited, though, so she followed the excellent suggestion by @ultrajam, and we now see and I can use easily:
Hooray!
Onward, ho!
[We're eagerly awaiting the new release, too.]

Changing quota when Admin approved pending user

Using Jamroom

I'm going to see if I remember this right. I think I read a post here somewhere that advised us to set only ONE quota with "allows signup"

That way the applicants will all automatically be in that quota, and you need only move the few who belong in a separate quota.

I hope I'm right. [We're still developing, so haven't tested this.]

Hope this is helpful and correct,
Holly
