Here I created patch for this issue ^

Merged, thanks! Will be in the 2.1 release.

Hi.

We have added a custom group type, and the redirection to the about page does not work. Can you guys maybe point us in the right direction to find the error?

Thanks!

So I dug a bit deeper into this. I think the issue might be in the "$group->bundle()" array. Could it be that new custom groups don't automatically go into the "$group->bundle()"? If not, how would I get a custom group into that bundle?

For instance, we have a custom group type called "Chapter".
The form value is: value="group_content_chapter-group_membership_group-join_form"

A "Closed Group" where this is working is a part of the group bundle, and the value is: value="group_content_closed_group-group_membership_group-join_form".

Then "chapter" is missing from the group bundle, right?

Hi grn,

In the future it's probably better to open a new support request for this instead of commenting on a closed issue as closed issues don't show up in issue queues by default. For now I'll put the answer here as well so that others may find it too.

You were close to the solution. We implemented an alter hook hook_social_group_types_alter that allows you to opt-in to some of the Open Social behaviour for groups. This redirect is one of them. You can find an example in the social_group.api.php.

I hope this solves your issue :)

Hi Alexander.

Thanks for the answer.

Just to keep the same thread I will answer here too.

Do you mean that I will need to add a custom module, if I want to add a custom group type in open social with the same open social group functionality?

Thanks.

Ah, I forgot that the UI allows you to create group types as well. Yes that will indeed be needed, there's no functionality to opt-in to that through the UI at this time.

OK, thanks.

If there is any other documentation for best practice creating custom group types and modules for this case, please let me know. The custom group type we need is with same functionality as the "closed group" type.

Otherwise, thanks anyway. :-)
