hide nonactive groups from group directory

[samanthasunne]

for groups that don't have a link, like Abidjan, hide them (but don't delete) from the groups page. I tried turning the .yml files into .bak but that didn't work

One way we could handle this is to create another folder inside of the data/groups folder called "deactivated." And then, to disable any group from the page, we could just copy the file into that deactivated folder.

Example:
groups/abidjan.yml > groups/deactivated/abidjan.yml

While doing this, the group disappears from the homepage, and the rest of the site, but the file contents (ie: coordinates) are preserved in the file located in the deactivated folder.

Example: https://github.com/ludstuen90/hackshackers-hugo/blob/136-deactivate/content/data/groups/deactivated/abidjan.yml

If this sounds OK, let me know, and I can document the procedure. @samanthasunne

Instead of "deactivate" let's call the folder "inactive". But otherwise yes, please do it!

@samanthasunne Where would you like the instructions posted? My sense is these are not instructions that we should post on the live website, no? They're more of internal instructions that would go best in the README.md file.

I have the steps documented.

What instructions are you referring to? I don't see them here
