Notes

Subtypes

Registering new subtypes and configuring them is made easy.

Here is an example of how to remove groups from the top level of the site, and making them subgroups of a new subtype called classroom.

		$svc = elgg()->groups;
		/* @var $svc \hypeJunction\Groups\GroupsService */

		$svc->registerSubtype('classroom', [
			'labels' => [
				'en' => [
					'item' => 'Classroom',
					'collection' => 'Classrooms',
				],
			],
			'root' => true,
			'identifier' => 'classrooms',
			'class' => \CustomPlugin\Classroom::class,
			'collections' => [
				'all' => \CustomPlugin\DefaultClassroomCollection::class,
				'owner' => \CustomPlugin\OwnedClassroomCollection::class,
				'member' => \CustomPlugin\JoinedClassroomCollection::class,
			],
		]);

		$svc->registerSubtype('group', [
			'site_menu' => false,
			'labels' => [
				'en' => [
					'item' => 'Group',
					'collection' => 'Groups',
				],
			],
			'root' => false,
			'parents' => ['classroom'],
			'identifier' => 'groups',
		]);

You can put multiple subtypes into a collection by assigning them to the same identifier, e.g. you could create usa_state and canada_province subtypes and register them for regions identifier.
