I want to implement a maximum number of groups in a specific category of GroupJive groups for a user. The use case is that we have groups that represent students from different universities and each student can only be a member of 1 university at time. How could I go about this?
You want to limit the number of groups they can join within a category or number of groups they can create within a category? There isn't functionality of either out of the box, but both are doable using CB Auto Actions. Will provide examples once you confirm which you're needing.

SELECT u.`id`
FROM `#__groupjive_users` AS u
INNER JOIN `#__groupjive_groups` AS g
ON g.`id` = u.`group`
INNER JOIN `#__groupjive_categories` AS c
ON c.`id` = g.`category`
WHERE u.`user_id` = '[user_id]'
AND c.`id` = CATEGORY_ID_HERE
Operator: Not Empty Action
Method: PHP
Code:
Code:
$variables['var1']->setError( 'You have already joined a group in this category.' );
Replace CATEGORY_ID_HERE in the query condition with the category you want to check against. You can adjust the error message to whatever you'd like it to say. There isn't a way to suppress the display of the join button though. Can consider adding a way of doing that to GJ if necessary.
