I am using Jomsocial for intranet use only and don't want the group admin to delete the group without administrator approval. I am wondering is there any option to disable group deletion on the front-end, I want only super-user or administrator can delete the group on the backend.

If there is no option, what can I do to disable this?

I know there is an option for group create moderation, but why not group delete as well?

What if the group has a lot of contents, and for some reason the group admin is mad and delete the group? What if the group is so important of the site because the group has a lot of contents, users, etc., and suddenly is gone? What will the users going to do, they will be mad as well or they will not come back to the site anymore?

Hi, John.

This could be done only via custom hack.
I'll create it for you at Monday.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Hi, John.

Copy this file: ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/groups.viewgroup.php

to:

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

Edit file and change this (line 193):

<li><a tabindex="-1" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:joms.groups.deleteGroup('<?php echo $group->id;?>');"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_GROUPS_DELETE_GROUP_BUTTON'); ?></a></li>

<?php if($isSuperAdmin){?>
                    <li><a tabindex="-1" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:joms.groups.deleteGroup('<?php echo $group->id;?>');"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_GROUPS_DELETE_GROUP_BUTTON'); ?></a></li>
                    <?php } ?>

Thank you so much for your help. It is working great now, only super-admin can delete group.

Please add group delete moderation or disable to Jomsocial ver. 4.
