Create a group

This page describes the Create a Group Pages. There are two related pages:

#Create a group (landing page)

When the user clicks Create a group in the site menu they are taken to the create-a-group landing page.

This is just a basic content page and can be styled like any another content page on the site.

The key difference are the links to the next form page, which should include the type of group the user wishes to create.

The links should be to the create-organisation-form and include the org type as a URL parameter:

Create organisation form

This page will create the inital organisation profile in Nationbuilder.

The user can select their organisation name and optionally an organisation photo.

As explained above, the organisation type is selected depending on the org_type=X parameter passed in the URL. It will default to creating a community group if not set.

The page only creates a 'placeholder' profile in Nationbuilder and sets the correct tags to link the user to the organisation they have created.

After creating this organisation, it will redirect the user to fill out the new membership form (123 Form).

For more information on the photo picker, please see the entry in the modules section.

To activate a new page of this type, create a basic page and tag is page_create_org.

Site Admin Field - Override Admin ID

A (Nationbuilder) Site Admin is shown an additional field to allow them to override the user ID of the new organisation admin.
This allows Site Admins to create new organisation on behalf of existing users.
Entering another users Nationbuilder ID in this field will set that user as the admin of the new group.
