Hide nested groups on "all Groups" list

Hello,

I need a menu link for a list of groups that have children groups in it. Or simply put, I need to hide the nested groups from the "All Groups" type of menu link.

I have tried to find the option in every NESTED tab in configuration or similar, but everything points to the ability to create nested groups, not to show or hide them.

Sorry if Im being blind. Can you help me?

Thank you.

You can't, All Groups does exactly what it says it does; it shows All Groups. You would need to edit showGroupAll in component.cbgroupjive.php and adjust the query usage to explode groups with a parent id (sorry I can't help beyond this, we do not support core edits).

Thanks for pointing me on the right direction.

I understand "All Groups" does exactly what its supposed to. I was asking if there was a way to identify the nested groups from the parent groups once you are inside the "All Groups" view.

I applied id's and classes so that I can now apply styles to a specific group, to all of its children groups and to all of the nested groups inside either a category or another group.

It is a hack, but I think it should be implemented as a feature. Heres how:

Right now, every group inside the "All Groups" view has exactly the same classes. We want to have specific id's and parent classes. So each group will end up having:

1. An id attribute that matches that group's id
2. A class name with the group's category id number: "cat1", "cat2", "catx", etc.
3. A class name with the group's parent id number: "parent21", "parentx", etc.

To do that, find:

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgroupjive/templates/default/group_all.php

Go to line 61. Where it says:

Replace it with this:

Did I explain myself?

What do you think?

Code editor is not letting me display the last part of the solution code.

it should end with .....get( 'id' ) . '">'....

It already does. It appends the linked name of its parent right after its category unless you removed it. This is done on line 65 as follows.

Template adjustments aren't hacks so change away. Templates in GJ can also be partial. So create a new template folder (e.g. "mytemplate") and place your group_all.php file in it then select your template from backend. It'll then use your group_all.php for that display, but will use all missing files from the default template folder. This allows for partial templates that won't be lost when you upgrade GJ.

Right now, every group inside the "All Groups" view has exactly the same classes. We want to have specific id's and parent classes. So each group will end up having:

I see, no it doesn't have classes that distinguish it from a nested or non-nested group.

What do you think?

If it works for your needs then it's fine.
