I'm trying to create 2 custom views. One for Friends and the other for Groups.

My intent is to remove the groups and friends tabs in the profile view and give the user a seperate page view of groups and friends that will allow the user to manage them. IE: removing friends and groups, sending messages, all on one page for each.

Problem with groups:

I created a custom view based on the groupslist.ascx template and binds won't work, so I've added tokens where I can. But I still can't get group description or the leave/join group control to work. I also tried adding:

< a class="CommandButton" onclick="asClient.Groups.Leave(this,' [ AS:GROUPINFO:GROUPID ]'); return false;" href="" >Leave Group< / a >

along with a few other things. Seems a lot of the tokens can't be used outside the groupview. I also tried using Will's code posted here: http://www.activemodules.com/Commun...fault.aspx

When I use [ AS:GROUPINFO:GROUPID ] I get "A call to Bind must be assigned to a property of a control inside a template."

And when using [ AS:LINK:JoinGroup ] I get only "view group"

If I use [ AS:CONTROL:JoinGroup ] in conjunction with [ AS:LINK:JoinGroup ] I get:

A critical error has occurred.
The ID 'ctlGroupAction' is already used by another control.

If I use [ AS:CONTROL:JoinGroup ] I get ehhh hhmm "Join Group".

I'm using: < active:groupslist id="ctlGroupsBox" filterbyuserid="[AS:SOCIALUSER:USERID]" grouptypeid="-1" runat="server" >


Any ideas anyone?

Has no one else tried making a custom group template filtered on the groups a user belongs to and placed it on a seperate page for group management?

Only enough to get the same error:
A call to Bind must be assigned to a property of a control inside a template.

Google brings me here.

All I'm trying to do is get this {AS:GROUPINFO:GROUPNAME}to work on the MyGroupsMini.ascx

Try [ AS:CONTROL:GROUPLINK ]

It will render the group name as a link

I've still been unable to accomplish this with the latest release. I just cannot figure out a way to allow members to leave groups unless they are on the actual group page itself.

Anyone else try to do similar with success?

Revisiting. I've still not found a solution outside of being on the groupview page in order to leave a group.

Any update on this issue Jeff ? It giving me grief also

Unfortunately not. I haven't revisited it in the latest release, but I highly doubt there is a way to accomplish it yet, based on the recent release notes.

A separate module using the API would work:

GroupsAPI ug = new Active.Modules.Social.API.GroupsAPI();
ug.JoinGroup(PortalId, UserId, ASGroupID, true, true);
ug.LeaveGroup(PortalId, UserId, ASGroupID);
