Group Info

The Group Info page is the first one people see, when arriving at an mc² Group or Community, e.g. the mc² demo group. It provides a description of the group, an image and/or banner, and a public summary of the group's details, which accessible to Members and Non-Members alike. See also: Group Access

The Group Info page is created when you create a community and can be edited via Group Settings.

People arrive at the Group Info page as a result of:

Browsing or Searching for Groups / Communities
Following a direct link, e.g. from an email (such as that generated by the Invite a Friend feature)
Clicking on the name of a Group they are a member of. A list of these appears in the My Community view, provided when you login.

If you have a Website, you can create a link to it, from your Group Info page. You can do this either when you create your community, or by editing the Group Settings. Just complete the URL of Group Website field. This will generate a house icon on your Group Info page, that links to your Website.

Here's some tips for completing the Group Description field:

Provide as much information about your group and its activities as possible
Make your group sound interesting! For Members Only groups (the default), this is all potential members will be able to see, before deciding whether to join or not
Include keywords in your description (that are relevant and specific), so people can find your group when searching.

Only owners & moderators can change the contents of the Group Info page, by editing the Group Settings.

Owners can also alter the layout via the Customise function. This allows different placements of text and images on the Group Info page, as well as the opportunity to select different text and background colours.
