A new Member asked to join a private group (Technical Surveillance & Counter Measures aka Spy Bugs and How to Find them).

A notification came to the Admin for the group.

Admin cannot find where to approve the new member.

The pending member does not appear in the group in the front end or back end.

Please advise.
Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Based on what i checked, it seems like it doesn't have any member request to join this group yet.

I did request to join, it did appear my account still under pending state from the group, you can check my attached screenshot below.

As the group admin I received no notification (email?)to tell me that someone wanted to join the group.

Also where/how would Admin approve or activate them joining them the group?

I just checked your email activity and it did create an email notification to the admin about it in pending state.

I just run the cronjob URL and mentioned that the emails have been sent. May I know did you receive it?

Also where/how would Admin approve or activate them joining them the group?


For the frontend, you can go to 'Members' tab to approve it as shown in the screenshot.

for the backend, you need to go to Groups > 'choose the group that the member joins' > Members as shown in the screenshot.

I did get the email but I got a number of emails which suggests that cronjob was manually started and not doing its job automatically? Why as it should be doing automatically an event occurs?

The member joining I will test and let u know.

Thanks.

Hey there,

Cronjob is actually a task scheduler. You can check it out here on how to set up Cronjob for your email notification.

If you setup cronjob and set the cron interval time to 5 minute, it will execute this script for every 5 minute to send email notifications automatically.

The member joining I will test and let u know.


Alright, sure.
