Customizing Groups

I am trying to add a button to the groupjive groups that connects to a service called jitsi as a service. Basically its a video conferencing solution. What I was hoping to do is add the button before the follow button on each group. For now it would just be link. Secondly Is there a way to customize the event fields in the form so that I can add additional information like zoom links and galleries?

Make a copy of the system action "CB Groupjive - Follow" in CB Auto Actions and change its type from CB Activity to Code. Remove the second condition checking [var2_type]. Next under Action leave Method as HTML and for Code supply whatever HTML you need to link to your external service.

No, it has no fields functionality and no storage functionality for custom fields. Suggest putting whatever information you need directly in the event description.

I am thinking of using JavaScript/JQuery and the CB Content Module to adjust the event description field. 1st I would turn that into a hidden form field and then add up the values from an number of input fields that are rendered by JavaScript. I am finding though that I can't create a menu link to the new event form and it takes the default Itemid of the CB Profile. Is there a way I can change this so I can assign a CB Content module to adjust this form?

Use gj_onAfterDisplayEventEdit in CB Auto Actions to add custom JS to the event edit form using a Code action instead of trying to use a CB Content Module.
