I had a quick look but couldn't see how to set up a profile so that only some of the public groups are listed.

For instance, it would be nice to set up one form for subscribing to Sydney groups, another for Brisbane, etc.
Alternately, it would be good to only have one group listed.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your suggestion, Cynthia!

My current thinking for setting up a profile that adds a person to a specific group G, is to...

• create a profile that includes the "Groups" field
• generate the HTML snippet from the Profile Listing screen
• remove the other groups from the snippet
• set the checkbox for the group G <input ... type="checkbox" checked="checked" ...>
• hide the input-field for group G, as there's no longer a need for the user to make a selection
• remove the Cancel button
• display the modified HTML snippet on a page

The only issue is that errors (such as mandatory input not supplied) cause the original profile (with all the group options) to be displayed. This is not wrong, but might confuse a user ("Where did all these group options come from?"). Perhaps the answer is to call the profile something generic like "Subscribe to groups" and have a generic description about subscribing to groups, so at least the gear-shift is explained.
