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...

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 just noticed that when on a group's main landing page, the Recent Blog Posts section shows my user ID next to the "by ...." section. However when jump into the blog itself, my full name displays. Also, on a related question to Groups. I notice that in the web root, it appears it goes...

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?

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...

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...

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 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...

ive tried searching but im none the wiser its probably just me but can someone explain why groups could be useful? do you have an example of how they might be used?

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. ...

However, when clicking on the site activity link it takes you to the stanard error: Sorry, there...

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?

After backing out a prior upgrade and re-upgrading this weekend, and fixing a few problems left over from the upgrade, I have now actually managed to create a group. However, I cannot create a second group and I cannot go into the already created group - the exception is reproduced below. Is anyone else...
