thanks for the feature of admin approval for new groups - i will test this asap. :)
so i just tested this in elgg 2.1 and found that after i enabled the option in the group plugin to allow non admins to create groups and then signed in 'as' a non admin, then clicked to create a group - i am told that only admins can view that page. i have disabled my theme and other plugins that i thought might cause that page to be blocked for non admins, but it made no difference. anyone know why this is occurring?
@ura
So in Groups you set "Who can create new groups?" to "Logged in users" and in Group Tools "Site administrators need to approve new groups" to "Yes"?
I tried this on my test site and didn't get the error message. And the normal user could create the group
yes, that's the outcome. it's possible i over-rode the routing for the add new group page and forgot.. i will look, thanks.
so i just found that if i disable group_tools latest version and my site's theme and any plugins i know of that interact with groups, then non admins can create new groups. but if i enable group_tools, then non admins are unable to view the group creation page. i don't know any more than that presently.
I have 3 admin in my elgg. I have enabled the new groups require admin approval settings.
My issue is that the Group approval mail is going to only 1 out of the 3 admins. Rest of the admins are not getting notified.
I have created a ticket for the same: https://github.com/ColdTrick/group_tools/issues/112
Any help for the query in my previous comment?
If the admins have set their notification settings to not receive any notifications, then they won't
OK. Now I get that. Yes, the notification was off for the other 2 admins.
Thanks @Jerome
