A feature I'd like: When I add an event to a group, a link to the group shows up on the event page. Right now the only way to get from an event to a related/linked group is to click on Visualize and then navigate to the group. Could it be easier? I think it would be good.

Hm possibly. I've thought about this, and realized...this might encourage some un-wanted behavior, such as groups adding events to publicize their groups. The same applies to organizations...but let's think about this some more.

How about this:

first) enable event-group connections, and make it so they can only be added from the event page, not the group page.

then) add two check boxes to the event creation/editing page. They appear next to the "Only I can edit" check box. They are:
- Allow anyone to add connections to groups
- Only event creator can add connections to groups
These boxes might be dependent on the "Only I can edit" box, meaning that when I check "Only I can edit", the "Only event creator..." box is checked and the "Allow anyone to add..." box is grayed out.


Another thought:
As Wiser Earth is right now, I'd have to create an Organization profile for my Group in order to link it to events. Maybe I should just do that? California Student Sustainability Coalition (CSSC) has both a group and an organization, and they're also part of the Real Food Challenge (which my group is part of).

I think those check box ideas will work! There is definitely an interest to allow org/event/job/etc. profiles and areas of focus to display their group connections....do you mind reposting this idea as a suggestion in the Suggestions group?

Yes I would suggest creating an org. profile if Real Food Challenge is an organization...there is currently no directory for groups, but a massive directory for organizations.

I've added your suggestion to the suggestions for groups page: http://www.wiserearth.org/article/618f922d0533163ad1bb76522e41cd21/group/suggestions
