Limiting Groups

I would like to see a configuration setting limiting the number of groups created by a user.

Hi dgodfather,

It is possible to limit groups as per membership level. here is the path where u can set the number of groups a person can create

goto the admin panel

1. goto Settings -> Membership Levels

click on the membership level in which u want to set the limitation on groups (lets say 'Standard' membership). on ckicking on "standard" a screen will be displayed with a lot of action items displayed in gray and blue color. blue color are the once which are activated for this membership. Locate "group add group" and click on it. A small pop up screen will displayed where you can insert the limitation.

Thanks

@palz. I was facing the same question.

Looking at your answer and following your path I can open the activated items per usertype.

However, "group add "group" is not showing, also not in the inactive onse in tehe pulldownmenu above.

Any clues?

thanks,

Bert

A related question - maybe related.  I wish there was a way to limit the number of user selections on multiple select menu items.  I have a list called "industries" on my user profiles and people keep selecting all of them.  I wish I could limit them to 5 or 10 - whatever.  Does anyone know if this can be done?

For me it does NOT work in Internet Explorer 7 but works in Firefox, (the pop-up box that is) go figure

Some one on these forums advised me to use Firefox in Admin

Hi Bert,

Have you installed the groups extension from Tools -> Modules. if so then you should see the following for groups

Number of allowed actions:
Number of actions is reset every:
This action is available since:

Hi dymfg,

Ya I have read about using Firefox for admin. Personally i prefer using Google Chrome. everything works well on it and also that its clearer. But that's just my personal experience.

Hi CALTRADE,

Sorry but I was not able to understand your question. Can you please explain a bit more

Thanks

Palz (or anyone), it is really very simple.  If you have a multiple select field in a member's business profile, how can you prevent them from selecting every item in that list?  For example, if I were to add a field called "business skills" - let's say with 30 or 40 items.  It has been my experience that a certain number of users will go through and select most or all of the items on that list.  How can I limit them to - say 10 or whatever, of the possible selections.
