Group: ipernity API development
New group API methods + group suggestion
|
Thanks to Tristan who did a terrific work, the API now proposes new methods for groups.
The second good news is about group suggestion.
Let me explain: actually a member needs to be a member of a group to add docs in. And a group admin/moderator may suggest a member to add a doc in a group by leaving a comment. Not easy...
This is why we decided to change the way it is and launch a great new feature: group suggestion.
Now a group admin can suggest to add a doc in a group just like if he was adding a doc in his own group, using the document tools menu "suggest a group".
What happens then:
- you see this group in the "Suggested Groups" section.
- the member gets a notice in his activity page.
- the member ca approve or refuse from the doc page.
- the member gets an implicite invitation to the group (even if private or by invitation).
Now with only one click we made all this process much easier.
More soon on the team's blog.
We're off to Barcelona until monday, not sure if we will be able to connect...
Have all a nice and sunny weekend.

Coming from a group home page (?)
Good feature. Sometimes i think “this could perfectly fit to group XYZ”. A good thing were, if any user could suggest a group, not only group administrators, but group members too.
- the member gets an implicite invitation to the group (even if private or by invitation).
Please, please, please seperate “adding a document to a group” from “joining a group”. Please make it possible to add documents to groups without forcing an user to joun the group first.
I’m in about 50 groups because i only added ONE document to it, and never visited the group again.
So again: PLEASE seperate the “joining” thing and the “adding” thing.

Christophe Ruelle club has replied to Ｄｉｒｋ- about adding to groups you're not a member of : much more complicate.
- how do you know the group ? if you regulary would add docs in, join it!
- how to prevent spamming ?
There are still many questions but we'll find all together a solution.

Ｄｉｒｋ has replied to Roberto Ballerini -…how do you know the group ?
You need a database table having two fields each row: document-id and group-id. A User suggests a group, so the group-id is connected with the document, now it would be easy to create a “add document to suggested group” link, i guess. Et voila: now you have the document-id AND the group-id and you can put this into the database table mentioned before :)
how to prevent spamming ?
Only allow adding without joining, if one of the group’s members (for me limit suggesting to the group’s administrators isn’t a good thing) suggested a group or the user got an invitation for a group

Christophe Ruelle club has replied to ＤｉｒｋHere are some suggestions:
- we could let the group admins decide if members can invite.
- we could let group members to auto-accept doc suggestions.
the spam prevention is already taken in account: if you don't like someone suggestions (you've refused + let the group admin know you're not ok anymore), just block the member!
Does this cover all the needs or did I miss something?
