Hello Mike,

Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Hello Mike,

Currently EasySocial does not associate the menu's with the group category. In other words, if you have created a menu item for the group category, it will only look for the first menu item on the site that is related to the "groups" view. I will see if we can improvise this in the future versions of EasySocial so that it would also respect the group category.

As for your second question, I am not sure if I understand you here. When I access http://hilde.unserhildesheim.de/index.php?option=com_easysocial&view=groups&layout=category&id=3:event&Itemid=275 , I do see the "Create Group" button . What do you mean by there is a missing option in group category?

The third issue is probably a bug and it needs to check if the user has access to create groups in this category. Will add this into our issue tracker.

When i edit a category in groups, i can't set the group type standard to e.g. open and hide this from the frontend.
I want groups in a special category only open, but there is no option "Appear During Group Creation" = YES / NO for this field ;-)

Hello Mike,

I am sorry for the late reply.
If I understand you correctly, the issue is this feature "Appear During Group Creation" is not available. For the latest EasySocial, we have change the behaviour and enforce this field to be required during group creation. However, regarding your issue, you need to remove the override which we have placed so that you can manually select the group type for the specific group category. Here I attached to you a file, please download it and put it in this file: \media\com_easysocial\apps\fields\group\type\config\config.json . Please give this a try and see if this resolved your issue.

Please be advise.
Thanks.

Please go to this file: \media\com_easysocial\apps\fields\group\type\config\config.json and replace the existing code with this code:

{

	"title": {

		"default": "PLG_FIELDS_GROUP_TYPE_DEFAULT_TITLE"

	},



	"description": {

		"default": "PLG_FIELDS_GROUP_TYPE_DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION"

	},



	"privacy"	: false,



	"default": 0

}

Please give this a try and see if this resolved your issue. Hope this will work.
Thanks.

Thx, that did the trick!!

but i don't understand the philosophy behind this 'update' ?



EDIT: it does only the optical trick, now you don't see the custom field in front end. but it will not take the standard option, so you can write discussions although i choose "no" to create discussions in custom field for this category...

I cant attach a screenshot here, you will see it in my next post.

If I understand you correctly, the group custom fields doesn't obey the group category setting. I believe this is a bug from our end. We will fix this in the next releases. Thanks for reporting this in.
