Thank you very much. That would really be great and appreciated :)

I would like to show just an especific number of groups, where exactly can I modify this?

PS: Thanks for this hack ;)

That option is what brought me to this mod. I need something like that, to be able to select the category(ies) to choose from.

Good looking mod so far though!

Wish this worked :(
groups can be seen by guest, I can navigate to the group as a guest, but the modual doesn't show anything but "View All Groups"

Didn't know that it didn't ;). I haven't played with this in some time now. Everyone, What are we looking at doing with this mod now? PLease create a wish list and I will see what I can do.

I just need it to work like described in the first post ;)

ps.. I tried the .modal and the .xml and got the same results :(

Just installed "latest" and "random" (XML's) on a vanilla 3.8.3 test site and works as designed. Please take note that moderated or invite only groups will not show for this module. Only Public groups will show (as stated in the first post). However can be easily modified if you need, just let me know.

To restrict to a specific category find in your modules folder either vba_groups.php for latest or vba_randgroups.php for random:

and replace with:

Where socilagroupcategoryod is the category id of the group you wish to show.

Id like to be able to show moderated groups. How can I alter the SQL? Im not sure how to do "not equal to"...is it != or <>, I get an sql error either way.

Going off of memory right now, Not at a computer where I can look at code, I believe by changing the WHERE type = to moderated or inviteonly depending on what you want to display. to display all, I think you can just get delete WHERE type = 'public'

Let me know if this helps

AND PLEASE MARK INSTALLED
