Our JS is based on group management. Each user belongs to at least 2 groups.
The Admin creates the association.
Is there any tool to support it?

Hi, Udi.

If you mean groups in JomSocial then yes, administrator can assign user to a group in administration panel. Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Monitor -> Members and first column at right.

But if you mean groups in Joomla! then you can manage it in Backend -> Users -> User manager and edit certain users.

Hi Michal,

Thank you, I'm familiar with that option but my request is more complected ...
We have to manage the groups assigning from the profile, because user usually belongs to 2 groups or more.

Is there any way to do so?

Hi, Udi.

No, you can't do it from frontend. Only from backend.

Hi Michal,

Probably I don't express myself well.

From the backend - JS - Monitor - members - Choose a member.

Now you can see and update the user profile.

Could you display the user groups in a similar page?

Hi, Udi.

You mean to display groups that user belongs in a tab when editing a profile in backend.
No, you can't do it without core file hacks.

Core hacks are not recommended nor supported as they may not working with future JomSocial releases and/or cause issues that will be not supported. Users with core files hack refuse to upgrade their installation to keep those hacks and they are stuck with outdated and unsupported versions.

But still you may requested that feature here:
uservoice.jomsocial.com/forums/101561-feature-request

Hi Michal,

I did as you recommended - UserVoice.

But this issue is crucial for us - all business logic relies on its groups.

It should be part of JS if firms consider it as a solution.

Thank you.

Hi Udi,

I'm not sure if this will help you but you can administer group members from the front end directly in the group. (not profile)

If you go to the group then click on all members you can select to make the member admin, remove the member or ban the member. If the site admin is set as Joomla ACL "manager, administrator" then they don't need to be a member of the group and can still control the groups members. This is a good way to run through the site and mange group membership. This is after the user has joined a group or an admin has linked them in the back end.

As Michal has explained the only way to make this function of adding users to a group from the front end in the user profile would be to hire a developer, all the functions that are called for this are back-end and would need moving to front end files, it would be a considerable amount of work
