A small plugin that allows you to join a group with the same name as a category directly from the category view. Some screenshots: NPM GitHub Manual installation: $ npm install nodebb-plugin-category-join-group

@baris correct answer! thanks!

There are not hierarchical permissions in NodeBB. If you would like to see hierarchical permissions, you could open an issue on our Github page and request such a feature. I do believe we have a way of copying permissions between groups, so that could help you out in doing what you want.

@pichalite hadnt noticed it... dang it lol i was thinking about group mods.

One of the things im starting to like on nodebb is the ability to create groups and have a little something for them like the header and users posts. If everything is over modules, why its not on widgets? I would love to have change some stuff on the fly like on custom pages plugin. Ex: show a particular category posts for that group.. show a possible calendar (this plugin this works?!) and so on...

Ah, I just missed the module and started searching. Thanks for the hint how to install it

Hmm that would actually be a good fix for this here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6582/cooldown-on-group-join-requests/1

@psychobunny Haha, good to know. This shall do the trick https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/3469 Kowlin created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB closed Admin is unable to become Group owner of (System) Admin group. #3469

@Kowlin Thanks for the info!

I found the solution. Thanks!!!

Yeah it might make more sense to use slugs instead of the actual group name when storing the key. Right now when you go to the group page you use a slug in the url and then the code grabs the group name using that slug to load the correct group's data.

Created a small plugin, to have access to all groups - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4591/nodebb-plugin-ns-api-ns-api-extended

Not possible right now without a plugin, you can wait for https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/7217 to be implemented barisusakli created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB closed make "allow group creation" a global privilege #7217

I just tested to create a new group and following two issues occured bug: using svg-images for header works fine until "save" gets pressed. save responds with "error". feature-request: I'd like to set the background-size to contain and center the position.

Probably it isn't what you expected to get as an answer https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/wiki/Plugin-Hooks#actionuserset https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/8f5bf1a7edc991f7b40c3f8520cec87b8b10b8f8/src/user.js#L159-L196

That should be available in Settings -> Groups

Sorry for bothering guys, I found it in the source code. There are two hooks already: action:group.join action:group.leave Both of them takes only one argument: { groupName: groupName, uid: uid } join: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/groups.js#L633-L675 leave: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/groups.js#L711-L742 Exactly what I'm looking for! Edit: action:groups.* hooks in the source code were renamed to action:group.*

The change should have been backported to 0.5.x, so you can just pull the latest commits from that branch to get v0.5.4
