Hi

One of our members has asked if there is a way on our site to manage people signed up to a racing series we run.

I was thinking of Easysocial Groups, and i have a few questions, issues as i've not done alot with the groups section.

1. Can members in a group be emailed all at once by a click of a button or is it just individually?
2. If its a private, invite only group, are the group members the only people that get to see whats posted, files discussions etc?
3. If an event is created in a private group, are the group members the only people that get to see the event and what gets posted or is the event viewable to all?
4. Is it possible to have a custom field, for example "Password" that is only viewable to people registered for an event.

Cheers

Steve
Hey Steve,

Kindly please find the response to your inquiries below:


1. Can members in a group be emailed all at once by a click of a button or is it just individually?

Unfortunately right now you can't send "mass" mails to group members


2. If its a private, invite only group, are the group members the only people that get to see whats posted, files discussions etc?

Yes, that's correct. However, invite-only has more restrictions, you can't even view the group unless you are invited to it


3. If an event is created in a private group, are the group members the only people that get to see the event and what gets posted or is the event viewable to all?

Yes, that's correct. Only people in the group can see the event.


4. Is it possible to have a custom field, for example "Password" that is only viewable to people registered for an event.

Unfortunately right now there's no privacy on custom fields for events / groups. You can however, hack the custom field file so that it only outputs the content to group members / event attendees if you want

Hi

Thanks for reply

1. As for "mass" email, is this something you plan in future versions, it would be very handy as i'm sure you would agree

2. Private group is fine - sounds like something this guy is looking for.

3. Excellent - so only group members get to see event.

4. I wouldnt know where to start hacking code, but if you guys could provide something i'd gladly pay for your time.

cheers

Steve
