This module uses categories to organize both interest groups (no fee to join) and chapters (fee to join).
Interest groups already have categories. For chapters, the “district” is the category. So your club or association must be set up with a two level sub-group hierarchy where the top level is “Category” and the bottom level is “Club” or any other keyword that defines a group charging an annual fee.
Most importantly, the interest group categories and the chapter categories must have the same names, so that the groups can be shown together.
Your club might have a “Cards and Games” category. Within that is a “Scrabble” interest group that does not charge a fee, and a “Poker” interest group that does charge a fee. If “Cards and Games” is common across both parts of the system, these two groups will be shown together in the search results.
Both interest groups and chapters allow you to create a short description of the group. Both also allow you to link to a custom web page with additional information. Some organizations using this module create a standard template for this page and then copy it for each interest group and chapter, to ensure a consistent format.
