Life Groups
This module was created because we wanted a different user experience to finding a small group than the one provided in core.
These attributes either enhance searching or better convey a group’s culture / purpose:
Has Pets
This attribute is a Boolean that indicates whether a group has / is open to pets or not
Has Children
This attribute is a defined type multi-select with the following values:
- Early Childhood (0-3yrs)
- Children (PreK-5th)
- Junior High
- High School
This attribute indicates if the group has / allows children and what age range.
Crossroads
This is a string that gives the closest major crossroads of a location.
List Description
This is a short description of the group that displays on the search results page. Generally included are the topic of study, times, member demographics, and whether children / pets are allowed.
Main Photo / Main Video
Oftentimes group leaders will have a video introducing themselves and the group’s purpose, or just a picture of themselves specific to being leaders of the group. These attributes are where to upload those to display on the group detail page. If there is video, that will display, followed by a photo if there is one. If both attributes are null the picture defaults to the leader’s profile picture.
Group Photos
Sometimes a leader may want to include photos of the group at different events or in everyday meetings on the detail page. These are places to upload those photos.
###Group Member Attributes

This is a Boolean that is true if a person asked for info only in the group detail page rather than asking to sign up.
