Organise your communities into groups
With today’s update to mixxt version “boogie”, we proudly present our new and often longed-for “groups module”. When you create your own community with mixxt, the implementation of this module provides entirely new ways of collaboration and organisation in the individual networks.
A community within your community
Within the privacy and rights management of each community, admins were given the opportunity to decide which users – “simple” members, moderators or administrators – are allowed to view or edit certain content. From now on, mixxt offers a module to create groups within these communities. Imagine many sub-communities within one greater community, where e.g. content and modules are visible and editable by group members only.
Configuration and employment of the groups module
Since configuration and privacy settings are based on the general network administration, mixxt users and community hosts will surely get on well with setting up a group.

Create polls and votings in your Communities
Some of you may already have noticed, others may even have given their vote in one of the existing polls: mixxt has added a poll module to their community features. Administrators are now enabled to
- ask for their members opinion on a certain topic
- let them vote on any proposal
- schedule events and find common dates
- have topics or “things” being rated and
- carry out statistical surveys or explore current trends
The polls can be configured individually, as admins can submit questions, answer types and options as well as the poll’s runtime. Votings can for example be helpful as a mood or opinion poll among the community or for making better decisions regarding current and community issues.
Creating a poll
Polls are generally shown on the community main page. To create an own poll, select the “Main Page” menu from the Admin Panel, choose “Poll” from the additional features and drag it into the desired column. A blank poll box will then appear on the main page and can be edited as follows:
At first, enter title (poll box title), question and (optional) a more detailed description. You can also determine whether the vote should be immediately activated, or will be unlocked at a later stage. Read more »
