Got too many users on your site and spend ages scrolling through them? Do you create a lot of Events?
The Smart-Thinker UserGroup module allows users to create their OWN groups and associate other users by Role or by name to their groups. Administrators can also create
Public groups which can be joined by anyone and viewed by all. The primary function of this module is to integrate with other modules that make use of groups of users - for example, the next version of the
Smart-Thinker Events module (coming soon to a PC near you) will allow Event Creator to invite UserGroups to their events, instead of having to select each user individually or by Role. The power of this module will become more apparent
as more modules allow UserGroup integration.
Note that a UserGroup is a logical, user-defined grouping, and does not affect security or access rights.
And of course, it integrates with Smart-Thinker UserProfiles, so you can see more info about group members at a glance.
To see this module in action, go to www.smart-thinker.com. You can create your own Groups and join public groups if you wish (bear in mind you may get event email invitations from other users testing the Events module
if you join a public group).
