Group Creation Issues

While doing some testing today I noticed that there is a small issue with the group system.

As I tried to create a group with one of my test users I noticed I wasn't able to do so. Yes, I was able to click the Add Group button and when I was brought to the category selection page there were no categories. Yes, I have categories. Upon further investigation I noticed that in the admin panel I had set it so that only one of my user profiles would be able to create groups for all of the categories.

Thoughts...
1. If there are no available categories for a user group to create a group then the "add/create group" buttons should be hidden
2. If the buttons are going to stay the user should be present with a notification that they do not have access to create groups

I agree with James.

Hey James,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

Can you try download my attached 2 files then replace into :
-> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\themes\wireframe\groups\default.php
-> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\views\groups\view.html.php
And see how it goes?

By the way, thanks for your suggestion Alex

This seems to have worked.

There is one instance I can see that this may have been overlooked and that is at the Profile Page. The widget on the left of the screen which displays the users joined groups. If this is turned on it shows the + New Group button. Can this be included as a turned off element?

Thanks,
James

Working well, thank you Arlex.

Because we are already looking at this from a "Groups" perspective I would recommend making the same changes in Events if they are not already in place.

Thanks,
James
