Category: Group

It would be useful to extract all permissions of File Galleries or Wiki pages or Forums, etc

This would provide a way for admins to know who actually has access to what.

Right now, group expiry just removes the user from the group.
In use cases of membership management in associations, or business, in which members pay a fee per year, this feature is needed for an easier setup without so much intervention of the admin in so many steps.

Scenario: NGO with 3 levels of users:
* A) "regular members", needing tyo pay fee FA
* B) "associated members" , needing tyo pay fee FB
* C) "students", needing tyo pay fee FC

2 levels of time-dependent fees for each group:
* first year you pay feee F*1
* from second year onwards you pay a different fee F*2

When the membership payment for a year is over, that user should be automatically re-assignable to another group defined in the group transitions, which should allow to set conditions for the trigger to happen:
* when group expiry happens
* when freeperiods frmo ((doc:PluginMemberPayment)) expire
* when some tracker field = some value, higher/lower than some date or other tracker field, etc. (this one is just brainstorming; it should be thought more {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-05-27T10:51:06+00:00"})

This way, they can be requested to pay for the fee F*2, knowing that they have to pay FA2, FB2 or FC2. With current codebase, after gruop expiry, you do not know which group that user belonged to, and you can't offer that user the right fee to be payed for with plugin MemberPayment.


HTH

You create a blog, Assing local perms to a group which name contains an space (or special characters such as é, è, ñ, ç, ...). Then when you attempt to delete the local permission, you don't succed. The url is something like:

http://domain/tiki-objectpermissions.php?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fdomain%2Ftiki-edit_blog.php%3FblogId%3D5&action=remove&objectName=BlogNAME

And it produces the error message saying somerthing lie "there is not enough information to show this page".

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Sometimes, wehn sending a braodcast message to a given group, the message body is empty.

It is empty for the recipients, but also in the sent box of the sender.

No error message is issued, en the message is delivered with the correct sender, the correct subject, but a totally empty body.

Categories are not assigned like they are asked to in the group settings.

"Default category assigned to uncategorized objects edited by a user with this default group:"

Group chosen is not auto assigned.


Categories are also not assigned like they are asked to in the Staging and Approval settings. I will be told I am creating a staging document, it will add the prefix, etc. However, it will not move it to the chosen staging category.

I have tried this with fresh installs of 4.1 and no profile loaded during initial setup.

My application use category on groups and objects
I tried category transition in tiki4, to be honest without reading anything, the result is catastrophic: I cannot admin all my tiki because i have lost my rights as administrator.
In my SQL database all records in users_grouppermissions table have been deleted
How can I retrieve my rights?
Can I manually write admin rights in my database?
thanks

Feature suggestion: add a permission to "change group viewpoint"

This would allow a member of many groups to see a drop-down of his groups.
Choosing another group would allow only to see what members of this group can see.

So admins would be able to check that their users's groups permissions have been set up properly.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
In tiki-admin.php?page=login, the "Use tracker to collect more group information" check box is always checked, so everytime you change something, the feature is enabled. Kind of annoying to have to pay attention to that all the time.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

When trying to create a new group you just get a "working" message and a spinning gear wheel.
The create button does not illuminate. I left this running for several hours on one occasion.
For existing groups the same thing happens if you try to change properties / setting such as adding a homepage etc.
I did find that on one attempt out of about 20 i was able to add one group but it has not worked since.
I have since found that the function works most of the time if you clear the tiki cache files immediately before the attempt.
Sorry i can't work out how to find or work the show bug function

db error in group inclusion (tiki 3.3)
Installed barebones profile on tiki 3.3, then applied Collaborative Community on top, which created the group SubAdmins.
Then I attempted to rename group SubAdmins (which includes Editors) to Editors_Web, and I got this error:

{CODE(wrap=>1)}
Context:
File tiki-admingroups.php
Url tiki-admingroups.php
Query:
insert into `tiki_group_inclusion`(`groupName`,`includeGroup`) values(?,?)

Message:

insert into `tiki_group_inclusion`(`groupName`,`includeGroup`) values('Editors_Web','Editors')
{CODE}

On a Tiki22 I user tracker information.
By default user will be member of the registration group.

{img fileId="1539" thumb="box"}

In the tracker I set a usergroup tracker.
New registered users show a blank value for the usergroup instead of the "default" registered.

{img fileId="1540" thumb="box"}

It may work otherwise (forcing the group registered to be selected) but this is counter intuitive and hurt the user experience as this are not done as help says it should.

This would be great ((tw:Dogfood)) to better organize our community and let users join groups according to their interests.

When I try to create new group I receive this error from MySQL:

Related to ((PayPalSubscription)), it would be useful to have a user no longer have group privileges after a certain date.


Ex.: I add a user to a group X for 1 year.

Currently (2.x), admins can configure new registrations to select specific groups during registration. I would like to request the following enhancments:

# Specify a default group. Currently, there is no default. I want to be able to configure a default group (i.e., adding checked="checked"...)
#Allow admins to confirm group requests. For example, I want to allow users to ''request'' to join an admin-level group upon registration, but I want the current admin to be able to verify this, before the user gets admin access.

This permits mailing-list-like functionality.

After, adding or removing a user from a group dictates which forums they can read and get notifications for.

Maybe we should use the newsletter functionality as it already handles group inclusions and individual opt-outs...

Like newsletters, it should be possible for people to remove themselves from a mailing. Better than 1.9.7 newsletters, it should also be possible for the admin to see who removed themselves.

When I want to create a new group, I constantly get the error "group name cannot be empty". But it isn't empty... For testing, I tried to create a group with an empty group name. I get another (!) error, with the same text, but not with "Error" headline, but with "Oops" headline...

After filling in a group name, the previous error kept coming up.

Before filing a bug report, I tried to replicate the error in an already existing snapshot: http://hman-11504-7951.show2.tikiwiki.org/tiki-admingroups.php.

There I cannot exactly replicate the error, but something else is going wrong there: First, I got an Ajax error, Then I got two statements of the result of the create action: One positive and one negative. At the same time! See screenshot (btw., in the snapshot, the group WAS created after all...)

So something is wrong in there...

Thanks

__Setting up show instance first__

I have created a new project, where each user get`s his own group autocreated and autoassigned on registration.

This is, as it is a helpline and the tracker items of the use shall be only visible and editable by creator + group.

Assistants can thus be assigned to the users group to get access to the case, whilst users see only their case / tracker items.

The setup worked now for one user self-registered and three users registered by myself via tiki-adminusers.php

Suddenly I get the following error message, when I want to create a user (after which the user is created and assigned to Registered, but NOT assigned to the own group).
Further more I wanted to recheck by logging out and register as anonyous user, getting the same error message and further more not able to login anymore (even not as admin), cause I get a blank page when trying to login.

The inheritance of permissions between groups seems to be completely broken in trunk (r33152).

For example, when Registered includes the permissions of Anonymous, granting tiki_p_admin_wiki to Anonymous should allow Registered to admin wiki pages, but that doesn't work. The same thing happens with tiki_p_view and tiki_p_read_comments.

This was discussed in thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.tiki.devel/20101

This is a regression from r32118.

It seems that in 18.4 a regression may have been introduced (barring any strange site settings) where the list of members in a Group are not displayed, instead, the area where they should be listed is all grayed out:

{img fileId="1331" thumb="box"}

I have a site on 18.3 and it works correctly, and, I checked on a Tiki 20.1 SVN (same exact site as the one on 18.4) and it works correctly there. So the regression was most likely was introduced in Tiki 18.4.

I can export to view the group members but this is very inconvenient (also unacceptable for an LTS version).

Thanks,
Mike

When putting a user in a group that inherits permissions from the Registered group, that group is not visible when trying to share a task with a group.

1) Create a group that inherits permissions from Registered Group
2) Assign a user to that group.
3) Create a new user task
4) Try to share task with the above group
5) That group is not visible in the drop down box.

PS. The group name has Greek characters, I don't know if this is of any importance.

Group plugin is very cool to put conditional content on a wiki page.

However, it is only an if. There is no if/else.


Say I want to show a content X to people in a group and content Y to everyone else.

Maybe we could have a new parameter?: notgroups

{CODE()}
{GROUP(groups=>Anonymous)}text for anon{GROUP}
{CODE}

{CODE()}
{GROUP(groups=>notgroups=>Anonymous)}text for the others{GROUP}
{CODE}

The group theme functionality no longer works in 5.x and 6.0.

To test:
*Set "each group can have its own theme" in Admin>Look&Feel>theme
*Admin>Groups, edit a group and try to set the default theme for a group.
*nothing happens.

*theme control - still working.
*user preferences - theme - still working.
