When setting up a private group is there a way to restrict members (of that private group) from inviting others?

Hi, karl.

No, you can't disable ti via administration panel.
You may try to remove this button (if you're familiar with php) by editing this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/groups.viewgroup.php

copy it to:

ROOT/templates/your-template/html/com_community (if you don't have "html" or "com_community" folders, feel free to create them)

replace (start from line 39):

<div class="span4 text-right">
              <!-- invite friend button -->
              <?php if($isMember) { ?>
                <div class="btn btn-primary" onclick="joms.invitation.showForm(null,'groups,inviteUsers','<?php echo $group->id;?>',1,1)"><i class="js-icon-user-add"></i><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?></div>
              <?php } else { ?>
                <div class="btn btn-primary" onclick="joms.groups.join(<?php echo $group->id;?>)"><i class="js-icon-user-add"></i><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_GROUPS_JOIN'); ?></div>
              <?php }?>
            </div>

with:
<div class="span4 text-right">
              <!-- invite friend button -->
              <?php if($isMember AND !$isPrivate) { ?>
                <div class="btn btn-primary" onclick="joms.invitation.showForm(null,'groups,inviteUsers','<?php echo $group->id;?>',1,1)"><i class="js-icon-user-add"></i><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?></div>
              <?php } elseif(!$isMember) { ?>
                <div class="btn btn-primary" onclick="joms.groups.join(<?php echo $group->id;?>)"><i class="js-icon-user-add"></i><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_GROUPS_JOIN'); ?></div>
              <?php }?>
            </div>

This will hide Invite Friends button for private groups.

EDIT:

This will remove also "Invite Friends" button under "Options" menu:

and in line 183 replace:
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="joms.invitation.showForm(null,'groups,inviteUsers','<?php echo $group->id;?>',1,1)"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?></a></li>

with:
                <?php if($isMember AND !$isPrivate) { ?>
                  <li><a tabindex="-1" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="joms.invitation.showForm(null,'groups,inviteUsers','<?php echo $group->id;?>',1,1)"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_INVITE_FRIENDS'); ?></a></li>
                  <?php } ?>

This hack is from JomSocial 3.2.1.4

hmm, I though it worked but now go this error when viewing a group:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/proutglo/public_html/resources/components/com_community/templates/default/groups.viewgroup.php on line 49

So I reverted it to the original.

Please advice.

Hi, Karl Johan.

It works 100%. :) You probably copied in wrong place, error says about missing }. Please try again.

question: should I edit this file as well or just copy it?
