Hi Domi,

This would be a good feature to have and logic wise should be easy
enough to implement as it would involve a having a bunch of group ids
and looping over them to call the group_delete() function.

The trick would be where to put the selecting of these groups one wants
to delete and making sure the list only involves groups one is allowed
to delete.

Maybe a new page similar to admin/users/bulkexport.php where one can
list the groups by shortname and it will go off and delete the ones the
user is allowed to delete.

Or we could make the admin/groups/groups.php page be like
admin/users/search.php where one ticks a bunch of boxes and then does a
bulk option on the selected items.

Or maybe, because any user can be an admin if a group we need to have
the functionality outside the admin/ section, maybe on the
group/mygroups.php?filter=admin where we show all the groups
administrated by us. We could have checkboxes and delete button when we
filter by 'Groups I own'

It all depends on who we allow to have this functionality, admins only,
admins and tutors, or anyone

I'll will think about this some more but if you have a preference of
which place would be best let me know

Cheers

Robert

Title:
  Bulk delete groups

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  It would be nice if users could perform bulk actions on groups, for
  example bulk deleting them.

  If you have created multiple groups and then wish to delete them all,
  for example if you are a class tutor and create multiple groups for
  your students but then want to delete them all after the class is
  finished, this is not currently possible. It is a one-by-one exercise
  which is very time consuming.
