In the dashboard
Site admins create groups under User Groups > Add New. A group has:
- Title and content (shown on the group’s About tab)
- Featured image
- Categories and tags (used by the directory filters)
- Privacy: Public, Private or Hidden, in the Group Settings box
- Add Members: users to add straight away (or, on a hidden group, to invite)
From the front end
Users whose role is in Allow users to create Groups (under Users > Settings > Groups) can create groups from the site. By default that’s administrators only.
They’ll see a Create a Group link above the group directory, and a Create Group button on the Groups tab of their own profile. Both go to yoursite.com/groups/new/, where “groups” is the plural name set in the settings. Logged-out visitors are sent to log in first.
The form has:
- Name (required)
- Description
- Image: JPG or PNG
- Category
- Tags: one per line
- Privacy: Public, Private or Hidden
The person who creates the group becomes its admin. If something’s wrong (for example an image that isn’t a JPG or PNG), the form shows the error and nothing is created.
