Now some bizarreness.
I set the Registration control to "Approval - View Only" then I set myself up as a testlogin user to test the mod. Problem: Before I was 'approved' I could login and see every topic, even the ones which theoretically had  permissions set for only members of a group to view. Yet my unapproved testlogin dude could view the topic with no restrictions. ((In one of our other restricted topics, however, I did get the message that I did not have permission to view that group.))


Well I use the "Approval On - before join" because that doesn't allow the user to access the forum at all before they are approved. The other approval options allow the user to log in but restricts them depending on the option selected. I never tested the mod with resticted boards using the "view only" or "profile only" options so maybe this is a bug.

UNO MAS...
Under Forum Settings.... New registered member email sent to: (specify admin/gmod username(s) separated by comma or space) I do indeed want the registration notification to go to two people, so I followed the instructions and typed the two usernames separated by a comma. But each time I save, the screen reverts back to showing only 1 username to which the approval message is sent.


I just logged in to your board and tested this and your correct. It might be a file permission problem because it works on my board. I'll check again tonight when I get home.

Did you remember to upload the 'Approval.lng' and 'ApprovalMembers.pl' and chmod these files?


Yes these files are there and this board is running on a Windows server. Rights are wide open on all of the yabb directories.

Anything else to try?
Thanks
Dan

I have a problem with this mod.
On the registration page it doesn't show a title for the reason box.
If a person doesn't fill in a reason when required all they get is a message that says an error has occured and nothing else.
it's language problem

Approval.lng not loaded. Have you this code in  Register.pl?
Code
Select All
LoadLanguage('Register');
LoadLanguage('Approval');

...

It's very interesting... but impossible. The MOD not modifying the permissions. Never.
"Approval - View Only" and "Approval - Profile Only" options are a plus check only.

before settings are saved, code do a check:  if that user not exist, or not admin, or not global moderator then remove from list.
remark: username the registered name not the realname (displayname)

Ok thanks for that clarification!
I had typed in his display name which was too similar to his username.

The Yabb interface could be more clear about the "username" vs the "displayname".  The Username is only referenced during registration process. In a member's profile I can see the username, but it isn't labeled as the username. In other words, it's easy to screw up.  And I'm not sure why you would have two names really.

Next Question:

Now that I have the approval requests going to both me the admin AND the other guy who is GMOD, he tells me that he cannot see the "Approve/Disapprove" link in the Admin Center. Apparently only Admins can see it, not GMods.

So perhaps the Global Mod Access Privileges panel needs an option to let GMods approve registrations.

...or it's there and I'm a dolt.

"username" vs "displayname"
- username is unique and can not change
- displayname is unique too, but member can do change

Hi,
we don't activate the button "reason for registration".
But in the profiles of the Users, the field "reason for
registration" is visible.
Do I something wrong during installation?

windowman , First you get the program called boardmod in the download section of the site and then apply this mod to your forum then upload all the files that "boardmod" modifies to the appropriate folder. Don't forget to also load the new forum files included within this mod too.  You might want to check the other forum sections on how to use the BoardMod program as it will help you when adding not only this mod but the many others available.
