Why when making a view for a group or type of group are the edit / delete or view links not available as fields for Groups?

I have gone over and over this and can't find it. Do I need to implement this manually through the views API?

Yes, this needs to be (re-)written extra for group entities. Basically you can copy&paste all the stuff regarding the node edit link field plugin, which you may find inside the views module files and adapt it properly for group entities.

If you're not too comfortable with writing plugins -although I do encourage patches- you can fix it through Views UI:

  1. Add the group id (gid) as the first field
  2. Hide the field from display
  3. Add a global field (text)
  4. Rewrite said field as a link
  5. Use the path group/[gid]

I may add edit / delete links in the future, but given the easy way of doing it via Views UI, it's not high on my priority list.

That is what I have done. It just is not elegant.

What file is the code for comment one in. I don't mind taking a look at this and submitting a patch back. I did spend some time trying that approach before but not familure with views enough to have got it right.
