I can't seem to create a group with a user who is not an admin. Is this the way it is supposed to function at this point or is it not that way yet? In the future will normal users be able to creat a group?

I'll piggyback on your post and ask a related question I asked before the beta was released : With CS2008, users can create their own groups. Since groups have their own forum and some of us don't have unlimited licenses, is this feature essentially not available to us?

While tinking around with Groups, I created one but quickly changed my mind that I wanted it to have a different name. I jumped into the "Edit this Group" page, and changing the name was a cinch. This is where I realized something wasn't right. Because I originally called the group Tech...

Within the new groups functionality of CS 2008, there is the concept of Memberhip type. I am wondering if in the back end how this "Membership Type" is represented. Is it represented like Roles are represented in CS in general? By that I mean, do the requests for finding out what "Membership...

I'm able to add a group category, but I don't see any way to add a new group. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks Ben. I was looking under the control panel / system administration / group administration. That console allowed me to create group categories, and view groups, but not create a group. Thanks again for pointing me to the right location.

Hello, I have current CS2007 community with several private forums. Each forum has it's own role in membership database. Will be possible to join or replace this roles with CS2008 group "roles"? I would like to assign few private forums to newly created groups, so group admins would...

Ben Tiedt Not currently. Groups are viewed as sub-communities and their content is not displayed outside of viewing the group. Ben, Does this mean that the content within any group is not searchable via the most top-level search?

I see group owners can change the layout of the sidebar via the widgets. Is there a way to enable the group owner to add widgets to the group homepage. For example, if I have a group ".NET User", I want to show the top 5 latest forum posts for that group in the homepage area (default left...

I am a new user, hav not even got my CS 2008 installation behind me yet. Plz, is there a built-in calendar function? I plan to enable local non-profits with the Group functionality and really need a calendar function in which some group events can be syndicated up to a global- level calendar. Got...

I'm looking at implementing a large number of groups (30 or so) each with their own forums. I'd like each of these forums to exist in their individual groups but to also be pulled up to the main site forums. This way users would see the posts for 'spongebob' whether they're in the...

Is there a way to add members to private groups in bulk--or does it have to be done one-by-one in the group's member area?

Is it possible to eliminate the requirement that registered members of a site must request membership to public groups w/ open membership in order to interact in the group? Since they would automatically be granted membership anyway, it would be nice to be able to avoid the need for extra clicks. ...

This is a very important piece of functionality that seems to be missing, are their any plans to add this in the near future, or any hacks to do it now?

I created a new group in CS 2008 SP1 and called it "Dexter" Since I had a Blog already created in CS that was called "Dexter" CS automatically made this blog the group's blog. That was OK, but, what if I don't want this? Where can I change that? Is it possible to...

After enabling the "Pages" sub-application on at the master group level, is there a way to turn it off for some groups (can do this w. blogs, media, and forums but don't see how with groups)

Is it possible to customize/limit the options that are available in the themes drop down list to a specific set of themes based on who is accessing? For instance, I want all groups in Group Category 1 to be able to select theme A, B or C but groups in Group Category 2 can only choose theme D, E...

Hi I would like a Group Type where users will be able to see the available groups but not be able to browse and view any info in the group. That's the way Public-Closed worked in CS2008 Beta. When they select the group it should present them with the 'Request Membership' form...only...

hi, Would it be possible to populate an area of groups with external RSS feeds, similar to blog mirroring. I'd like to have groups for the various industries our customers are in, e.g. aviation, healthcare, etc. Could I populate the blog in each of these groups with an (or many) RSS feeds...

A couple of questions for you CS wizards out there. I am using 2008.5 and want to add additional attributes to groups - and then search groups using these attributes. Has anybody done anything like this before with groups? Also, group nesting. Is it possible to nest groups past the current 2 levels...

As an owner of a Group, I can't by default let people have an e-mail ever time there is a new post. And I can't, as a user, find a way to subscribe to all new posts in a Group.
