groups2summary Extension doesn't work
January 21, 2014, 06:38:24 am
Just installed this extension onto a site running Drupal 6 and CiviCRM 4.4.3.

A couple of issues:

1. It doesn't work, in that it doesn't display the groups the contact is in. In my site, for the first contact I tested it on, it worked. Then for subsequent contacts, it just showed the group that the first contact was in, and ignored any groups those contacts belonged to. My guess is that this not what is supposed to happen.

2. Using Safari on Mac OSX (if that's an issue) CiviCRM repeatedly reported a security issue, telling me that AJAX requests need to be made by Javascript clients". not sure what that's about, but it didn't report this consistently. Sometimes it worked, albeit wrongly (see above).

3. For me the goal of implementing this extension was so that my users could immediately see the groups that the contact was in. In addition to the issue above, this extension doesn't do that. What is foes do is put a rather coy "Show Me" button in place.

Consequently I've removed the extension for the time being.

Perhaps I was missing something. The extension was manually installed.

Grateful for any input, as it would be great to have this work as advertised.

Hi,

I haven't tested on d6, only on d7, but it shouldn't have mattered.

This extension has several versions (one of each branch) which one did you download? seems that it's the ajax one. master or json are what you need.

If it works on your side, I update the xml so it's directly installable.

Just to update on this. I installed the master version as advised and this seems to work fine. Note that the default link within for those of us installing manually seems to be pointing to the ajax version.

Also, a question. Does this show smart groups of which the contact is a member (it would be really useful if it did)?

Thanks
Graham
