I made a previous reply on this but this update is so good now that I start to think about it, mainly focusing on this part.

For example, this is the simplest thing, and if I understand this right, you could set up a verification system in a game for users to get a role to access chatting on the group wall, or make them need a certain achievement. You could make commands to update group roles, etc.

This has a huge impact and is a CRAZY change for the better.

back in my day roblox would add good changes without wrapping it in their metaverse slop…

How do I get forms on my group?

#111

Whats the code and link and method to ban through API? I cant find how to SET anything

#112

You could probably figure it out by looking at the Network DevTools section, and chrcking outgoing Fetch/XHR requests.

#113

i cant check it if i cant use it. i need to use it for it to be an outgoing request

#114

@Sassiekathy How can you set using the cloud API for groups? Like set a role or set the group shout or kick or ban using cloud API, there are no references in the docs.

I do have a primary group set though.

 

Second issue is that, now that this is not called “Groups” anymore. How is a new user going to understand and figure out that GroupService is related about “Communities” ?

I mentioned this at RDC, but I’ll mention it here… The group wall is incredibly important (in my opinion) for my group. In some of them it’s actually the primary method of how people communicate with each other. If the wall is to be removed, I would really appreciate the posts either being transferred onto the forum, or being given an opportunity to download these posts.

I have multiple groups with 16 years worth of constant posts on them that I’d be pretty angry about simply disappearing.

#117

I’d assume something like creating a subforum called “Wall” or something akin to that would be a good way to do it. Granted, it’d miss out on replies to other posts, but it’d at least solve that problem.

#118

Does anyone know how to SET using the group cloud API. I can only find getting but no setting methods. Like how to set someones role or set the group shout or ban or kick through the api

#119

Will the roles on the creator hub eventually replace legacy roles? I miss the way to adjust rank levels and how they were sorted through the dashboard.

#120

Stubborn and want to keep seeing “Groups” instead of “Communities”?

The following code, when used with ViolentMonkey / TamperMonkey (or other UserScript extensions), replaces all occurances:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Groups not communities
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match       https://www.roblox.com/*
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      @SeargentAUS
// @description 11/22/2024, 8:24:16 AM
// ==/UserScript==

function check(object) {
    for (const node of object.childNodes) {
        if (node.nodeType == 3) {
            node.textContent = node.textContent.replaceAll("Communities", "Groups").replaceAll("communities", "groups").replaceAll("COMMUNITIES", "GROUPS")
                .replaceAll("Community", "Group").replaceAll("community", "group")
        }
        check(node)
    }
}

let Observer = new MutationObserver((mutationList, observer) => {
    for (const mutation of mutationList) {
        for (const node of mutation.addedNodes) {
            check(node)
        }
        check(mutation.target)
    }
});

Observer.observe(document.body, { attributes: false, childList: true, subtree: true });

@Sassiekathy One of the most requested features is an ingame group join prompt, how about addressing this?

The global game is still referred to as that, rather than experience

Would there really be a point in changing that, that would just break every game in existence.

Also, as I said before, people wouldn’t change scripts if they deprecated game. They also wouldn’t stop using it as it is shorter and more familiar.

Same with this.

#124

Is that the Open Cloud endpoint for banning group members? I couldn’t find it on the documentation, do you have more info?

Epic changes and the last things I needed to fully migrate to Open Cloud, are webhook events planned for member role change/member banned?
