add field to group edit page

is it possible to add another field to the group edit page like an html or duplicate of description block ? so when admin is logged in and clicks edit in actions block to take to edit group profile they would have an extra html filed they can use if you understand what i mean

I cant find group edit page in page builders which would be something mysite.com/m/groups/edit/2  thought they would be a profile page you could edit same as profile fields editor

thanks for any help 

Hello mlbs!

It can be done only via the code's editing. The following part in the modules/boonex/groups/classes/BxGroupsFormAdd.php is responsible for it:

'inputs' => array(

                'header_info' => array(
                    'type' => 'block_header',

Also it will require to add the fields to bx_groups_main table. But it is better to do having some skills in MySQL and PHP. But after all procedures you will get possibiltiy to operate with new fields not only in Add but also in Edit form too.

PS Our UNA platform allows to add new fields via fields builder.

thanks i will look at that and see if its something i want to take on or have someone do for me

thanks again for info

These features should be in Dolphin. Talk about being thrown out with the garbage?

Exactly. Why is this feature not already standard in dolphin also?

We tried to “add“ it to Dolphin, but turns out that when you have to make a proper fields builder a whole lot of the system components need to be rebuild. This, and some other improvements ultimately let to creation of UNA platform. 

 so what you are saying dolphin fields builder is not proper just a piece of crap then ?? Jeez what else is not proper

wasn't this all promised back in the D5/D6 days we would get all this? end up its all been diverted to UNA 

I give up  wasting money after money on Dolphin and now devs don't even want to work on dolphin
