I've created a couple different custom views that you could tailor to your use. The key here is how to setup the control:
<active:groupslist id="ctlGroupsBox" filterbyuserid="[AS:SOCIALUSER:USERID]" usersgroupsonly="true" grouptypeid="-1" runat="server">
A quick and simple template:
[code<active:groupslist id="ctlGroupsBox" filterbyuserid="[AS:SOCIALUSER:USERID]" usersgroupsonly="true" grouptypeid="-1" runat="server">
<asp:DataList ID="lstGrid" RepeatDirection="Vertical" RepeatLayout="table" runat="server">
<active:groupimage runat="server" id="imgGroup" imagename='[AS:GROUPINFO:GroupIcon]' imagesize='mini' imagealt='[AS:GROUPINFO:GroupName]' portalid='[AS:PORTALSETTINGS:PORTALID]' imageurl='' />
[AS:CONTROL:GROUPLINK]
] [/CODE]
And a more feature rich custom view:
<active:groupslist id="ctlGroupsBox" filterbyuserid="[AS:SOCIALUSER:USERID]" usersgroupsonly="true" grouptypeid="-1" runat="server">
<customtemplate>
<asp:DataList ID="lstGrid" RepeatDirection="Vertical" RepeatColumns="1" RepeatLayout="Table" Width="100%" runat="server">
<itemtemplate>
<div class="box">
<div class="photo w80">
<active:groupimage runat="server" id="imgGroup" imagename='[AS:GROUPINFO:GroupIcon]' imagesize='sm' imagealt='[AS:GROUPINFO:GroupName]' portalid='[AS:PORTALSETTINGS:PORTALID]' imageurl='' />
</div>
<div class="leftfloat min85 max85">
<div class="rightfloat p5">
<ul class="aslist">
<li><span class="icon mem"></span> Members</li>
<li><span class="icon action"></span>[AS:LINK:JoinGroup]</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4>[AS:CONTROL:GROUPLINK]</h4>
</div>
</div>
</itemtemplate>
<alternatingitemtemplate>
<div class="box-alt">
<div class="photo w80">
<active:groupimage runat="server" id="imgGroup" imagename='[AS:GROUPINFO:GroupIcon]' imagesize='sm' imagealt='[AS:GROUPINFO:GroupName]' portalid='[AS:PORTALSETTINGS:PORTALID]' imageurl='' />
</div>
<div class="leftfloat min85 max85">
<div class="rightfloat p5">
<ul class="aslist">
<li><span class="icon mem"></span> Members</li>
<li><span class="icon action"></span>[AS:LINK:JoinGroup]</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4>[AS:CONTROL:GROUPLINK]</h4>
</div>
</div>
</alternatingitemtemplate>
</asp:DataList>
</customtemplate>
</active:groupslist>
<div class="alignright">[AS:CONTROL:PAGER]</div>
This is with limitations. You'll have to change the css classes to suit your needs. I have also been trying to create this view for group management. IE: leave groups without actually visiting the group, but currently not possible:
