This module allows users to create private or public groups of users. Groups can be public and joinable or closed to new membership. Users can search groups by Category, Country or freetext tags. If the group allows new members then they can join the group. The group owner can send Private Messages to the group or invite groups to Events. This module was based loosely on the MySpace Groups implementation.

Major Update: You can now define a templated profile view or list view of Group Members with fully scalable paging for large user bases.

Please note that this version is for DotNetNuke 4.3.5+. This module can be seen in action on PokerDIY.com (Find live poker games and leagues).

You can download a free trial version for your own site here.

 Enhancements

•     Implementation of templated UserSearch for profile and list views on Group Members and adding new members. Allows you to search on all properties and groups of properties (like Firstname and LastName) and fully customizable with tokens to suit your custom user profile properties and site requirements.
•     Removed reliance on "UserProfile" tab naming * Note - some other Smart-Thinker modules still have this requirement! Can only be changed if you use this module in isolation.
•     After creating a new Group the user is taken to the Group Detail
•     Retrieval of Random Group now uses StoredProc instead of BL
•     Empty Group Tags no longer show

Bug Fixes

•     Search by Category and Country now only searches within the current portal
•     GroupDetail Settings now only shows public groups for the current portal in DDL

Note that a UserGroup is a logical, user-defined grouping, and does not affect security or access rights.
