Description: Very easy modification. This template modification simply add a table on the top of your groups overview under the navbar with links to create new groups and search for groups. It should be able to easily integrate into your design as well as easy to install.
I made this templatemodification because my members have to scroll down first a big list of groups before they can find the "create group" button.


Instructions/Installation: Very Easy

In the Style Manager, open the template "SOCIALGROUPS" and under $navbar add:

<!-- create & search group table -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:20px">
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center" class="tfoot smallfont">
<if condition="$show['creategroup']">
<strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=create">$vbphrase[create_a_new_group]</a></strong> &nbsp;
</if>
&nbsp; <strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[search_groups]</a></strong>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / create & search group table -->


Thats all :)

If you like this modification please click install .

Can you give me your SOCIALGROUPS template code? Then I can have a look to fix it for you.

Okay, replace everything in your SOCIALGROUPS template with this code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $custompagetitle</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

<!-- create & search group table -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:20px">
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center" class="tfoot smallfont">
<if condition="$show['creategroup']">
<strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=create">$vbphrase[create_a_new_group]</a></strong> &nbsp;
</if>
&nbsp; <strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[search_groups]</a></strong>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / create & search group table -->
