Creation of nested groups

When I click new group I am in a second level group with this url:

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbgroupjive&action=groups&func=show&cat=23&grp=171&Itemid=710&lang=it

The group creation form comes with this url:
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbgroupjive&action=groups&func=new&cat=23&grp=171&Itemid=716&lang=it

but in the breadcrumbs I read:
Home > Groups > My Group > My Group New Category > Category Overview > Create New Group.

From this it is clear that I am creating a top level group. However when I start the process I am in a lower level group.

The only issue I could find was a bug with the Breadcrumb. Aside from that I've spent the last 2 hours going through the source and re-testing; creating nested groups appears to be working perfectly fine.

I have tried to create a new nested group not only through a Group Users but also as Mod, and Admin but the only case when I am successful is when I log in as Super Users.

Then I have tried to debug the code and this is what I gather:

a) I get a "No groups available msgs" because this line in component.cbgroupjive.php sets $group to null.

b) walking backworks, this depends on the query being run from this line in cbgroupjive.class.php: The query is: and there is no sign of the group id being included in the WHERE clause.

So I don't see how the Create New Group form could get the parent group displayed as an option if it is neither queried nor taken from a var in memory.

I have also checked that the two files I mention above are the ones from rc2 dtsribution and they have been installed correctly.

Was able to find a problem with the drop-down select showing when a parent is provided with the group object and will fix for next release, but it still functions fine.

This is how it should behave basically. A admin should always see the drop-down select to select whatever group they want for the parent. A regular user should see just the name of the parent like they do for Category and shouldn't be able to select a parent group from the drop-down select (this is currently bugged, they see the drop-down, but it's not a vulnerability because they only see groups they can add nested groups to).

How are you trying to create a new nested group? You should simple be doing Category > Group > New Group. Then don't touch the parent drop-down select (unless you want to change it) as it's already pre-selected for the group you were viewing.

I am creating it from this group page here:


and this takes to this form where the group is not present:


At this stage I will put it aside and wait for the next release.

BTW when is it planned for?

thanks.

I have also noticed that this code in component.cbgoupjive.php: merges array $list_access having strings in local language and an array coming from function get_groups_below_me() which is in the default language.

So the result is 2 strings in Italian, in my case, and 2 in English in the same select.
