Group Jive question

Hey guys,

I have a number of questions now:
_is it possible to limit the participants in an event (if not that would be a GREAT addition)
_ it is not possible for people to register as not attending? any settings wrong???
_ It is not possible for people to deregister themselves. I guess this has to do with the not attending button
_It is not possible to delete events? How come? The menu button at the back doesnt seem to work anymore???
_Is it not possible to post a link into the group? if not that would also be a great addition...

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: I had changed in CB that the template output should be put to Divs so that the user list can be displayed as a grid. that seemed to have broken group jive. The button at the back seems to work again now.

UPdate: it doesnt seem to have to do anything with the template output... the program just seems to have had a bug (it wasnt only me experiencing this problem).

_is it possible to limit the participants in an event (if not that would be a GREAT addition)

No, such a feature is not currently available. Yes, it would probably be a good addition and have created a feature ticket for it.

_ it is not possible for people to register as not attending? any settings wrong???

Yes, you can attend, maybe attend, or not attend. Click the dropdown for an event to select the additional attend states.

_It is not possible to delete events? How come? The menu button at the back doesnt seem to work anymore???

The owner of the event, the group, the category, or a CB Moderator just needs to click the Delete button on the menu of the event (frontend). There is no backend management of group events (yet, this will be available once the backend has been upgraded to XML).

_Is it not possible to post a link into the group? if not that would also be a great addition...

Post a link where? If you allow HTML in the events description then yes. This is enabled within GJ > Config > Integrations > Events > Schedule and adjusting "Editor" as needed.

CB GroupJive is not yet fully CB 2.0 compatible. It could have any number of unknown issues. I'm working to upgrade the remaining plugins. CB GroupJive was mid-upgrade during CB 2.0 development so it will be last to be upgraded as I've a lot of work to do on it.

Hey Kyle,

Thanks for your reply and the inclusion of the limitation of events into the next version.

Could I make a suggestion of what other feature would be really interesting to have? I think it would be really interesting to have a menu which lists all the upcoming events in all of the group feature, with the possibility to exclude some groups from showing up.

It would be good if one could make this also publicly/ registered accessible, thus overriding the GJ setting of keeping the event as not seeable if you have not joined the group (if possible). Even if you could only see a list of events of all the groups that Registered user X has joined that would be good.

The included GJ module can already do this by setting it to Events Integration mode. It'll display upcoming events for groups the user has access to. You can exclude groups or categories by id as well. The "all" pages may or may not be going away in next release. It depends entirely on how well I can get those queries optimized. If they're kept then they won't be able to display nested groups due to access permission checks.

Showing something the user can't access is a UX nightmare and security vulnerability. There will be no access overrides, sorry. Users will only be permitted to see what they can access. If you need otherwise you're welcome to develop a module or something of the sort to output whatever you like. For your case I would set the group access to public and the events tab to allow public access, which will allow the events to be properly visible to the public.

Awesome thanks, I had not thought of that one...

Thought so
