First install , thankyou :)

You are welcome!

installed works great!

I added to the first post a Random Module in addition to the Latest Module. Enjoy!

Installed it and the modules are shown on my portal BUT

it doesnt show any group. Only if I click on "Show all GRoups"

What is wrong?:confused:

These modules only pull "Public" groups. If the only groups you have created are invite only, they will not show.

EDIT: Now that I said above I got to looking at the code and realized that statement wasn't true. Updated the Zips to make it true.

My groups are public...

Redownload the module and allow overwrite and see if that helps. If it does not, PM your site with login details and I will have a look if you want.

overwrote it and now it works well! Thanks!
