On the Management page, group administrators will be able to manage the profile and settings of their groups. This functionality is provided by the Group profile web part. The page is accessible by clicking the Manage the group link in the Shortcuts menu. This link is displayed only to group administrators when viewing the group's profile.

 

1. Select the Groups page in the content tree and click New. Choose the Page (menu item) document type.

6. Switch to the Design tab. First, we will add the Group security access web part. This web part checks if the user has the appropriate permissions for this group and redirects them to the Access page, which we will create later in this chapter, in case that the permissions are insufficient. Click the Add web part (AddWebPart) icon of the zoneCenter web part zone and choose the Community -> Group security access web part. You do not need to set any properties of the web part, just leave all of them at the default values. Click OK.

 

7. Below the Group securtity access, we will add the Static text web part, which will show the path to the currently managed group in a form of breadcrumbs. Click the Add web part (AddWebPart) icon of the zoneCenter web part zone and choose the Text -> Static text web part. Set the following properties of the web part, leave the rest of them at the default values.

 

Web part control ID: Breadcrumbs
Text:

 

<div class="GroupBreadcrumbs">

<a href="~/Groups.aspx" class="CMSBreadCrumbsLink">Groups</a> <span class="TitleBreadCrumbSeparator">&nbsp;</span> <a href="~/Groups/{%CommunityContext.CurrentGroup.GroupName%}.aspx" class="CMSBreadCrumbsLink">{%CommunityContext.CurrentGroup.GroupDisplayName|(encode)true%}</a> <span class="TitleBreadCrumbSeparator">&nbsp;</span> <span class="CMSBreadCrumbsCurrentItem"> {%CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentName|(encode)true%} </span>

</div>

 

Click OK.

 

8. Finally, we will add the Group profile web part. Click the Add web part (AddWebPart) icon of the zoneCenter web part zone and choose the Community -> Group  profile web part. Set the following properties of the web part, leave the rest of them at the default values.

 

Group name: (current group)

 

Click OK.

 

9. The page is now finished. In Design tab, it should look as in the following screenshot.
