Hide INVITE button for Contributors in Communities
A
Adrian King
Currently, it seems that contributors logged in can see and use the "INVITE" button in the top right corner of Community page and can invite new members.
Many groups are designed to be private, for example only for people who have purchased a product or for people who have taken a particular action. These groups will not want all members to be able to invite other people.
So, this INVITE button should not be visible by default and should be up to the community admin(s) as to whether contributors can invite new members or not.

TOTALLY AGREE!! THIS MUST BE CONFIGURABLE. It's not always appropriate (maybe rarely??) for members to be able to invite people to a group.

Absolutely agree with Adrian. Disappointing to see this was an obvious overview from the tech team and yet a year later these still the same problem. This is so frustrating, what's the point of offering the ability to setup a subscription base model that you have no control over who gains access.

Hide the Member list, Chat, and Invite Members buttons.
I am using CSS in Communities to hide functions that should be an option for the group admin to turn on or off depending on the purpose and culture of the community group.
We need a toggle in Settings where the group admin can turn off or on those features - Invite Members button, Chat, and Members.

is there a way to add invite button as well because there is a Requested button in the Members tab for Groups

Here's a workaround allowing admins to see it and hiding the button for non admins. Some of the css isn't necessary but was having some issues keeping the centering of the button text without the additional span:
#invitation__btn {
display: none; /
Initially hide the button
/}
#settings__btn + #invitation__btn {
display: block; /
Show when it's after #settings__btn
/}
#settings__btn + #invitation__btn span.n-button__content {
display: flex; /
Ensure Flexbox layout
/justify-content: center; /
Horizontally center
/align-items: center; /
Vertically center
/text-align: center; /
Ensure fallback horizontal centering
/}

Kevin Scott This is no longer working when I put it in the courses custom css or in the community individual css. Does it still work for you?
K
Kevin Scott
Appli Admin it still works for me. Few questions for ya. When you say not working are you meaning isn't disappearing when you are not an admin? Did it ever work for you or just stop all of a sudden? I am not in gokollab and haven't checked it there so if that is where you are seeing it it could need adjusted for gokollab

Keith Besherse
Kevin Scott, in my observation it works differently for Kollab than Client Club.

Kevin Scott
Keith Besherse Thanks keith, unfortunately i am not using kollab. is there an area to add the code? My guess is its still possible but the element id's would just be different. I might add a Kollab version and try to adjust it if i get some time.

Keith Besherse
Kevin Scott, you can see my group here: https://www.gokollab.com/ghl-business-launch-2
This settings and the Client Club/branded settings seem to act differently (I assume this is due to the differences in how the sites are coded).
K
Keith Besherse
Actually...I'm not sure the css is working at all...
Curtis Hackett, any ideas?

Keith Besherse I took a look at your group and the join broup button which appears to be the same selectors in gokollab as normal ghl #joinGroup__btn my guess is the invite and settings buttons are the same as well so the code should work but i requested access to your group to see if i can catch the invite others buttons selector myself (maybe that and settings are different). I don't know if ill see the settings button without being admin. Attached is an image of when im logged in as admin and when im not so you can see the buttons and lack of buttons Are you using the full code i put above or just the snippet in your image? check the selectors if you know how with chrome by right clicking on the buttons and inspecting the buttons. then in the data window hover over the text until the button highlights and click copy selectors. Replace the #invitation__btn with whatever your join group selector is and same with the #settings__btn
#invitation__btn {
display: none; / Initially hide the button /
}
#settings__btn + #invitation__btn {
display: block; / Show when it's after #settings__btn /
}
#settings__btn + #invitation__btn span.n-button__content {
display: flex; / Ensure Flexbox layout /
justify-content: center; / Horizontally center /
align-items: center; / Vertically center /
text-align: center; / Ensure fallback horizontal centering /
}

Kevin Scott Does it make sense that the button would be named span.n-button_content? I forgot to remove the code after it didn't work. In this community (https://www.gokollab.com/ghl-business-launch-2) I am willing to let people invite others. In my agency client community that is not the case; and, I do tech support for 2 clients who have private communities.
Shivam HighLevel & Chase Buckner, when is HighLevel going to fix this bad habit? Our end users are not coders. Please stop releasing features that require them to know code. Again, the (Ameet Kang, Ameet Kang, Ameet Kang, Ameet Kang) code worked, until it didn't! https://youtu.be/kd0vrUyqFnc

Kevin Scott
for sure one of the most important additions and thanks for the workaround.

Adrian King
Workaround found, thanks per Joe Fernando's comment below... put the following in the Custom CSS of the group settings, and switch to live (see screengrab attached).
#invitation__btn {
display: none !important;
}
Note, this also hides it for admins, so they will have to invite people another way.
K
Kevin Scott
Adrian King Ill mess around with the workaround solution here. I think there is a way to get it to show only for admins with some cascading css or possibly javascript utilizing the settings button. If i get it figured ill post it here.

Keith Besherse
Adrian King, does this work for you and Kevin Scott in Kollab mode?
Or only in ClientClub and branded domain?

Hide "INVITE MEMBERS"

We need an option to hide the big button for "INVITE MEMBERS" .
Our community is private and WE invite people. We can't have other members inviting their friends!
If some people want this feature, then make it optional. Otherwise, we don't want random members inviting their friends to an exclusive group.

This is an essential element of giving the group owner authority to run the community the way they intend.
