CMS Made Simple Forums

Am I going mad or have I missed something very basic?

Using CMS 1.5.1 & FEU 1.5.3

The Help file says, "When you create a group, you are asked for a group name, a description and to associate properties with that group, specify the properties sort order, and wether it is an optional, required, or hidden field".

I click on Groups but the only option I have is Import Group. This asks for a group name and the Input XML file. Tried creating an XML file in the format provided in the Admin section with just the default username and email but get a "Could not parse the provided XML file 1" error.

So what's the secret? How do I create a group?

Thanks in anticipation,

Simple fix for this one: Set up some User properties first. After that you should be able to create user groups and chose from the properties you set up earlier on

Don't worry.  I was fighting the same problem after installing the FEU module.

The Help file says, "When you create a group, you are asked for a group name, a description and to associate properties with that group, specify the properties sort order, and wether it is an optional, required, or hidden field".

There it is, though it's not that clear, I guess. It says that you will be asked for group name, describtion and to associate properties... those must be given first. Help file isn't too clear on that one, I guess.

If you want your users to give their email adress you would have to set up a property named  email. After that the "create group" option should be available.

Hope this answered your question.

Thanks Amancham, you're right this works. The help file says, "Note: You do not need to define properties for username and password, these will be provided for you". As these were the only fields I wanted I didn't think I had to set up any more properties.

I hope the rest of the setup is explained more clearly!
