Three quick questions about Groups
Ning To Jamroom
Thanks Gary, -I do see what you mean...that Group 'discussions' seem like a post with a comment wall included. Yet on my site they are called group Discussions and the Group members do hold all their discussions in them. (and the Group itself has its own overall comment wall)
I see now that on Ning, we admins only get the choice of Edit, Delete, or Feature those Group 'discussions' as well. I had mistakenly thought that I was able to lock those. So probably I'm being unrealistic, or greedy.
I'm gonna say that this particular thing is not a big priority for me and let it go at that.
However, the other thing (#2) I DO think I need to get done, because I've had problems on some isolated groups with members using the group comment wall for all their long disucssions, so I'd like to address this one issue, but I'd need help:
"2. First thoughts are add an admin only Form Designer field with the id's of the groups you want to get rid of (or keep whichever way is easier)...... Then surround the group wall in the templates with a check for those id's to hide that section."
Yes I would like to be able to designate just a handful of groups so that their Comment Walls will be completely hidden from members (in effect non-existent). And I as admin would be making those choices.
I really don't know how/where exactly to do this though.
