Hey guys,

I want to provide 2 content types into groups: Articles and Discussions. Each content type will have a list (View) into a tab.

Instead of ask admins to go to the "Nodes" tab, click in "Create content" and select "Article", I want to add a local action inside the Article tab (above the list). It will improve and simplify substantially the user experience.

I know I need a `mymodule.links.action.yml` in order to add the local action. And tried to copy the action inside `gnode` module, but it didn't work.

Do you have any thought on it?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried placing the 'Group Operations' block somewhere on the page?

Yep, I tried but it doesn't work since `group/%/article` isn't under group context. I couldn't make it read % as a context group. For the same reason, I couldn't use "Group ID from URL" in the contextual filter.

There's any way to do that?

Hey, I was comparing my Views with "Group nodes" and figured out that I wasn't using a "Group permission". Once I set a group permission, the block displayed correctly.

Even tough I would like to know how could I add local actions using the group ID as parameter. If you can help me, I thank you.

Hi @tregismoreira,

I recommend you this patch #2813405: Add a field to view and edit content's groups, maybe it doesn't follow the approach you suggested here, but could help for easier content addition to groups.
