Context
We need to display the information for only certain ministries' small groups. By selecting a group ancestor we can now show a leader their high school groups, and not their in-home small group.
Goal
It will allow this block to become more targeted.
Strategy
If the parent group is set, the block will recursively look up the IDs of all ancestors of that group. It then adds the where to the query. This may be slow if it is working through a huge number of groups, so I added caching of the IDs. The default cache length is 1 hour but it is configurable.
Possible Implications
This should not affect backward compatibility as any block that does not have a parent group set will continue as normal. Selecting a group with a great number of ancestors may be slow.
