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"

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.

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
