Feature your community's geographical chapters or interest groups; promote their events, content, members, and leadership through Clubs.
From the Clubs page, members can explore chapters from an interactive world map, see a list of all interest groups and learn more about club events, content, and leadership within their Club page.
Club Assets
There are several assets you can build, promote, and share within clubs - events for members, content specific to them, members' profiles, and featured leaders of the club.
Events
Clubs can host events specific to their chapter or group, and promote them from within their club's page or at the community level to drum up interest and registrations from non-club members.
Note: Registrants of club-level events will automatically be added as club members upon event registration.
Content
Clubs can publish content specific to their chapter or group, and promote them within their club's page, or at the community level to share ideas with other non-club members.
Note: Content browsing from within Clubs is similar to community-level content exploration.
Users can select what type of content they're looking for from the drop-down menu in the upper right, and any tag pages will surface tagged content within the Club.
The URL for any content within a club will include the club slug as well.
Members
Display the members of the club, their avatars and links to their profiles.
Members are only displayed if they've completed their profile. They are listed with the most recently joined members at the top of the list.
Leaders
Feature the local leaders of the club with member profiles on the club's page.
Access
Clubs can be open, private, or secret to see or join by community members.
Open Club
All the club’s assets (members, events, content, etc.) are visible for visitors to the community, and it is open for members to join.
Private Club
Only the club’s homepage is visible to visitors and members must join by invitation either via external sign-up or by community administrators in the dashboard.
Secret Club
The club and its homepage are un-discoverable for visitors and member accounts must be created by community administrators in the dashboard.
Note: The user must be a member of the community to join any club. If not signed in, they will be prompted to enter their email address when joining a club.
Customization
You can customize what the Clubs feature is called in your community, how chapters or groups are displayed and what regions or categories are represented with clubs.
Learn more about customization and settings in the dashboard here.
Permissions
