Settings reference

Open the addon’s Settings in Admin → Add-ons. Save changes before leaving. This table is generated from the supplied 1.3.0 manifest; its stored identifiers are included so support can identify a field precisely. Dedicated dashboard forms are documented separately.

Display

Groups per page

Identifier: groups_per_page. Type: number. Default: 12. Range: 4–60. Step: 4.

How many group cards one page of the directory shows.

Discussions per page

Identifier: topics_per_page. Type: number. Default: 20. Range: 5–50. Step: 5.

How many discussions one page of a group's feed lists.

Group categories

Identifier: show_categories. Type: boolean. Default: On.

Let a group be filed under a category, and show the category panel beside the directory. A board that keeps one flat list of clubs can turn this off.

Groups

Members can create groups

Identifier: allow_member_groups. Type: boolean. Default: On.

Turn this off to keep the directory staff-only. Members can still join the groups that exist.

Review new groups

Identifier: require_approval. Type: boolean. Default: Off.

A group a member creates stays hidden until a moderator approves it. Groups staff create are never held.

New groups are

Identifier: default_privacy. Type: select. Default: open.

What a new group starts as. A group can change its own privacy afterwards, and a closed group's discussions are its members' business.

Choices: Open — anyone may join, the group page is public (open); Closed — anyone may ask, the group page is public (closed); Private — invited members only, nothing is public (private).

Groups one member may own

Identifier: max_groups_per_member. Type: number. Default: 3. Range: 0–100. Step: 1.

0 means no limit. It is what keeps a directory from becoming one person's project.

Discussions

Group discussions

Identifier: allow_discussions. Type: boolean. Default: On.

Each group gets a feed of its own. Turning this off leaves the group page, its members and its description.

Members per page

Identifier: members_page_size. Type: number. Default: 30. Range: 10–100. Step: 10.

How many members one page of a group's member list shows, with the group's owner and moderators first.

Posts per discussion page

Identifier: posts_per_topic. Type: number. Default: 20. Range: 5–60. Step: 5.

Verify and recover

Change one group of settings at a time and test as the intended audience, including a signed-out window where relevant. Keep the previous values with your backup. If saving fails, retain the error and reload the current stored values before retrying; do not assume an unchecked field was committed.
