Group Tracker Issue

posts: 126

Hello,

For some time I`ve been breaking my head on this. I`m building an educational website where the user, after the initial signup can apply for other groups (Using group transitions already), but for each group I need a separate tracker for information. So I`d go for group-trackers, but I`m having some trouble here. Have everything setup, the tracker, permissions, etc..

My first doubt is: I must associate the tracker in the Group-tracker pref in the group, not the User-tracker right? User-tracker I will only use for the registered group for general user info.
If so, when I associate with the group-tracker, I can`t choose the fields to show at registration(apparently, I can only do that for the User-tracker). Thats fine, because the user only chooses its group after the registration process.

My intencion is to make the tracker mandatory for every user registering for each group, like an application form (As it says is possible in the Doc.t.o), but I can't see how to make this. Is there any automate way to make this, when the user gets to a group? And also, the user can be member of as many groups as he like.

The way I`m going to now, is to make use of the Subscribegroup plugin in a page, to a Pending_Group, and than it redirects to another wiki page with a Tracker plugin for the group tracker so that the user can fill it and save. Than an admin can review this tracker, and approve the user via Group transitions. But it doesn`t feel the right way, because the user can apply to this pending_group and not fill the tracker, and he will still be in the group.

Thanks on the help in advance!

Hi Fernando, this is a useful use case and we need it to work.

If you can't find a way to force the user to fill in the data for the group tracker before being a member of the group ("Make the group tracker mandatory before accepting group membership" or something like that), please, fill in a bug report about it, and reproduce your use case as much as possible, so that it will be easier for a developer to test this issue and find a solution for it.

Thanks Xavi.
I`m working on it. When this gets to a reliable state I`ll post here!

Xavi, what does happen when I set a Group Tracker than? Is it like any other tracker? Doesn`t seem to have any other usability the way it is.
