Civi Groups forced Parent
July 12, 2013, 10:31:37 am
Hi

I'm have a Civi 4.3.5 Drupal 7, Multi-site, multiple-language build but having an issue with Groups after the upgrade to 4.3.5.

When I create a Group be it regular or smart it is forcing a parent group even if I leave the 'Add Parent' dropdown to - select -. If I then go to settings and try to remove the parent group I get a Make sure at least one parent group is set error message...???

Has anybody else come across this problem and found a resolution?

Cheers
Robbie

Can you try this on the demo site and see if it's the same there?

Hi Hershel

I tried on the demo site but there was no issue. I was able to add the groups as normal.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Hopefully someone else can answer....

I reproduced this locally (4.4.2) and on the 4.4.1 demo site by enabling Multi-site.  If you're not editing the Domain Group, the parent group select widget becomes mandatory - which is a sure pain when you're trying to add a new domain - for other use cases you could probably argue that a domain parent should be selected.
At group creation, the domain group is automatically select as parent, even if you use '- select -'; if you haven't selected a domain group (= 0), it seems to assign the highest existing group id.

According to git blame, the offending lines changed before 4.2.1 ...

Yes, part of enabling multisite is that you are required to have parent groups. If you enable the multisite extension this assumption is altered. However, the question is why you are enabling multisite because either it's not what you what you want, or you need to think it through & configure it correctly.

We also use multi-site and have exactly the same issue. Is there any way of altering the default parent group? As Agileware said, it defaults to the domain group which is a pain and I'd like to set an alternative default... even if that is Select. Can I?

Once a group has been parented to the domain group, I'm unable to 'unparent' it, even when I select a different new parent group at the same time. I get the following error message. Any thoughts on how to override this?

Do you have the multisite extension enabled? The multisite extension moves the focus from a group hierarchy to shared group organisations in order to reduce the performance problems associated with hierarchical groups. With the multisite extension you can 'unparent' as long as the group_organisation is set.

Also, I don't enable multisite on the parent domain as it doesn't confer any benefit at that level.
