The groups in my site are highly exclusive and membership is only approved through a group leader after a bit of protocol that goes on outside the website. However, the members that are already in their own group are trying to invite members whom are their friends into their group despite them never having met with the group leader. I tried removing the button with this:

.joms-focus__button--add {
display: none !important;
}

I don't mind that this removes the option to add friends in some places, since we don't need "friends" for our site, but it also kills the ability to RSVP to events, which we need.

Simply stated: how can I remove the "invite friends" option from groups. It appears on the group page and on the groups lists. Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Scott,

You should modify this file components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/groups/single.php. and remove this code :

<!-- invite friend button -->
                    <a href="javascript:" class="joms-focus__button--add" onclick="joms.api.groupInvite('<?php echo $group->id; ?>')">
                        <?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?>
                    </a>

thank you!

Sorry for the belated response on this. I'm still seeing the invite friends option as a regular registered user. See attached.

Hi,

- from list group, open this file components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/groups/list.php, find and remove this code :

$canInvite = true;
- from detail group, file components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/groups/single.php, find and remove this code :
<?php // Invite
    if ($isMember) { ?>
        <a href="javascript:" class="joms-focus__button--add" onclick="joms.api.groupInvite('<?php echo $group->id; ?>')">
            <?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?>
        </a>
    <?php } ?>

thank you!

Thanks for your help. I followed your instructions and It's off of the list, but I'm still seeing the "invite friends" option on the group page.

find and delete this code as well :

<li>
                <a href="javascript:" onclick="joms.api.groupInvite('<?php echo $group->id ?>');"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?></a>
            </li>

well, please search "COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS" on layouts/groups/single.php, and remove them all once you find it :)

Hi
Kindly check you have removed this code from components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/groups/list.php

<li><a href="javascript:" onclick="joms.api.groupInvite('<?php echo $group->id; ?>');"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?></a></li>

If still, you have the issue, kindly share site information.

4. Let us know that you provided credentials by posting in the same thread.


I will check the issue and get back to you with details.

Sorry about that. I see where the username was messed up. I've updated the credentials in the original post. Please try again as I am still seeing the "Invite Friends" button on the Group page member's list. See here:
