One type of user creates a user group

    Hi! I want to know if my idea can be implemented with this plugin.

    I want to create two user groups: teachers and students. If you are a teacher, you will be able to create a “classroom” (this “classroom” would be the user group). Then, if you are a student, you could join to this user group.

    How could this get done?

    Thank you very much and excuse me for my English!

    Hi,

    Thanks for asking, good question!

    The problem with Groups currently is that you can’t allow particular members of a group to create new groups easily on the front end. Other then that, your case could be easily implemented using Groups.

    If it’s ok for you to let teachers ask for new groups to be created by an admin, then you could:

    Existing groups assumed:
    – Teachers
    – Students

    Users assumed:
    – An “admin” with the Administrator role.
    – A “teacher” who belongs to the Teachers group.
    – A “student” who belongs to the Students group.

    1. admin creates “Classroom 1” group.
    2. admin or teacher create a new page with this content:

    [groups_member group="Students,Teachers"]
[groups_join group="Classroom 1"]
[/groups_member]

    3. The student visits the page and clicks the button to join the Classroom 1 group.

    This would work but as I said, it would require the admin to create new groups for the teachers.

    We are working on improvements to Groups where this would be easier to manage, but I can’t yet promise on an exact ETA.

    I hope this still helps!

    Cheers
