    • Organic Groups

    Posted by Greg Wheat

    I have the need to let registered members create groups. I've read through the documentation on the organic groups feature. I've built a data channel, and have started to put together the YAML. I guess the biggest problem I'm having is trying to conceptionalize how this will all come together.

    For instance, say I'm a registered user and want to create a group called "Accounting", how would this be accomplished. Is there some way to add a "Create a Group" wiki page where someone can select the group name, if it is public/private, available features, etc.

    The documentation doesn't get into great detail. Is there somewhere I can find more information on this, or could someone share a working example that walks through this whole process. I've found some bits and pieces but nothing that takes it from beginning to end.

    I would love more information on this as well, including building the data channel. The ability for registered users to easily create groups would be a valuable feature.

    Me too

    I do believe the user community (including me, hopefully including you also) needs to be more proactive in updating the documentation when we figure this stuff out, too!

    It would be great of course if the developers had secretaries to capture all their work as flowed through and make it all pretty and documented, but that hasn't happened yet 😉

    If someone could get me started, I'd be happy to put together the documentation page. The problem is, I really can't get beyond the first couple basic steps. If anyone out there has experience with Organic Groups, could you please give a hand with this?

    I've been playing with this tonight, and seem to have at least gotten the group creation part to work. I'm going to continue to work on features, permissions, etc. But, for now, I'm going to start outlining what I'm doing on the Organic Groups page.
