groups.uidmaster  Bottom

  • Hello,

    Can you please tell me:
    1. What uidmaster column is used for? (groups table)

    2. What is group_application table is used for?

    Thanks in advance!
  • I can't answer question 1 as i'm not sure myself (Franky will know...).

    The group applications table is used for user subscribable groups. If a group is defined as such the groups user interface will allow a user to apply to join that group. If any such groups are defined there will be an icon appear in the users control panel (or the right URL can be linked manually...)

  • Thanks for reply, Mark!

    1. Does Franky read this forum?
    I need to implement a "group admin" functionality (a user who is an admin of the group) and this column (uidmaster) looks very nice for that. But I'm not sure..

    2. group_applications table has two unclear (for me) columns:
    - application (longblob)
    - status (tinyint)

    Can you please explain them?

  • Alexander,

    1) Yes but he's not had too much free time of late - so you'll get a reply at some point. From a look at the code this isn't actually used anywhere - at least yet.

    2) The application field is any supporting information provided by the user for their application to a group.

    The status field appears not to be used currently but looks like the purpose would be to hold a record of any applications to groups. Currently when you deny an application the application record is simply removed.
