Installation and Configuration
Ken_Rich:Hi Brian,
On the groups thing, yes they are still profilecentric in that they originate with someone and link back to them - but just not in an "obtuse" way.
So it "feels" like you are inside a separate space, but I think you could achieve that as a design consideration, without "monkeying" too much with the core.
Currently, a quarter of the page is about the originators profile, not about the group. A simple link back is sufficient. That leaves more space for group specifics and creates the illusion of a "separate space".
In terms of the pages and discussions generated within a group, they need to be isolated and separate from general discussions and forums. They too are still profilecentric in that they link back to their creators, but they are isolated to that group and only viewable "ONLY" by it's members.
In other words, hey shouldn't get lumped in with other lists like "all pages" except perhaps in an "admin quota" view.
Also, discussions and pages created in PRIVATE groups needs to be given due consideration. Not so important on my network, but on some you bring over it could be absolutely critical not to expose them to eyes they were not intended for.
Thanks Ken - besides the profile menu showing on the left, I believe all the rest are supported (the privacy, etc.). There is a "groups" listing on a profile, since a profile can create more than 1 group, and this allows users who are not invited to a group to at least request access to the group (the profile owner of course can say no).
Paul developed the module, so I will let him correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like we can tweak the design to achieve most of what you're looking for.
Thanks!
