FrontEndUsers 1.6.4 - can't add a group

[j88per]

I just performed a clean install of CMS/MS on my test server.  I added the module FrontEndUsers, CGExtensions, and Self Registration modules - however when I try to make the primary goups in FrontEndUsers, there is no AddGroup button, its gone.  I have another install in another directory and its there fine.  Just not this clean install.  Both are running 1.5.3 CMS/MS, both are running FEU 1.6.4 - I  have tried removing/installing 3 times now with the same results. 

The only option is an XML import, when I try that it fails to read the xml file provided from the other installation.  I tried searching on FrontEndUsers and Groups but didn't see anything.  My server is local, I have root access so I know I have write permission in all directories and correct ownership (www) to all folders.  I am the admin user on my CMSMS install and have ALL permissions to all modules/functions.  I have even created a new users with all permissions and get the same result. 

Anyone know how or why this is happening?

Add some properties and you will see Add group

From the FEU module help:

Code: Select all

[b]How do I use it[/b]

    * After installation you can access admin panel to the FrontEndUsers module under the "Users & Groups" menu.
    * Secondly, you should define properties. Properties are essentially field definitions, here you specify the type of information you want to gather, and limits. i.e: Name, Age, City, State, Country, Email address, etc.

      Note: You do not need to define properties for username and password, these will be provided for you

    * Next you should create one or more user groups.

Thanks - sorry I had a 'dumbass' moment.

happens to all of us

Actually, I have found that depending on the order of installation with the Products/Cart/Orders modules - FEU may or may not automatically populate properties.  This is what threw me off.  They were already there for me the 1st time so I never had to make them.

If solved please add it to first subject line...

Had the same issue; I was just testing out the module, so I thought I wouldn't create any properties right away (since User/Pass are there by default).  I spent 20 minutes searching for the "Add Group" button until finding this, realizing it wasn't where it should be, then it magically appears once you've defined a property.  This should be clarified in the instructions.
