LFIWebMaster got a reaction from Gill in Club Groupings
Our community is REALLY enjoying the club feature. We have 15 and will launch more in the future. The list of clubs is now getting...long and a little confusing for our members to search through.
We have a few informal categories of clubs that we use and it would be amazing to be able to logically group those club categories in some way on the front of the club page...or even create separate top level pages for each category of club.

LFIWebMaster got a reaction from FanClub Mike in Club Groupings
Good idea @FanClub Mike and nice plugin, @Adriano Faria. In light of Invision 5 eventually dropping I'm going to bandaid this with the custom fields and some pre-filtered widgets on a 2 column page builder. Thank you both!

Hey @LFIWebMaster.
Clubs are the bread and butter of one of my communities, so I'll go ahead and share some things that work well for me.
If you want to see how the filters work (option 1 below) or see how I'm managing an insane amount of Clubs, my site is fanclubs.org. The site is still a work in progress, but the fundamentals and structure are mostly finalized.
Option 1 - Create Extra Fields for Clubs
This option is native to Invision Community and will allow members filter clubs by the fields specified.
For simple categorization, I would recommend using the Radio Field Type. New clubs would be required to select a category when they create the club. Existing clubs can be updated using the club settings.
A few alternative fields that would work
Checkbox Set - Club owners can select multiple checkbox options Select Box - I find this to be better for an expansive list of options If you use this feature, make sure you enable filtering when you set up Extra Fields. Not only can members filter by these options, but Club widgets as well.
A look at my Extra Field for Categories
Option 2 - Clubs Category Application (Adriano)
I was using the Clubs Category application shared above until I figured out how to structure Extra Fields for my community. For a plug-and-play solution, the Clubs Category App is a great option.
With the Clubs Category application, navigation links are added to the sidebar on the Clubs page for easy navigation, you can add font-awesome icons, and it's easy to link to since the categories have SEO-friendly URLs.

LFIWebMaster got a reaction from UncrownedGuard in Expanding Invision's Zapier
@UncrownedGuard, 100% want to emphasize this. I'd ideally love all the get/post/delete options in the REST API to be available in Zapier as actions. The big things for us would be the ability to create polls/questions on topics, look up topics and events by ID, and have a trigger of 'when user group membership changes.'
