Users can't join Groups

Involved Joined: Nov 19, 2003 Posts: 282

My test user can't join a group. I click on the groups menu - I view the list of groups - I click join and it brings me back to the group menu. The user is not added. The only user that seems to get added is the moderator.

Have you got the group set to open? or are you trying to add a user via an admin account?

The groups are public and set to open and the user trying to join is not an admin.

I have not tried manual additions by the admin.

We need to be clear. Are you talking the Groups module or the Forums?

Also is this an upgrade or a fresh install.

Hiho

I am speaking of the Groups Module - not the forums. I am running a fresh install of of the latest RN version.

These buggies I find are all over at the site - givemealink

Is error reporting turned on in the config.php file as well?

Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 12:08 am

Yes I set it to true there as well... but I dident see anything on the screen ... is there someplace else I should look for it?

Okay after removing the groups from Shortlinks and .htaccess mod rewrite - my users can join groups.

SO whatever it is/was is related to the Shortlinks.

Back in my school days ... in algebra class - my teacher would put the problem on the board and I would sit and stare at it and mumble out the answer.

He would go thats great! How did you get that? I would reply "I thought about it and made the conclusion" ... in otherwords beats the heck out of me.

With this same zeal I took a stare at the GRjoin code and somehow I concluded it was the shortlinks. I have no idea what/why I even thought to do that - I mean - I have never done that before when something dident work.

So this one is over my head - Im sorry I cant offer more info.

Appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We certainly cannot test every possible combination. Groups to me is not something that I would normally let folks publically sign up for, but that is my bad for not following through completely on the testing. This one surprises me a bit though due to how little functionality there really is in the module... so, surprised I didn't run into this scenario.

heh.... yeah its kind of bland isent it.

In fact I kept harping because ... well ... it was just too simple to not work! LOL Im not sure it will be of any use - we will see if it "gets used" but we thought it could be a way for users to indicate which county they lived in.

I'll post a fix to the ShortLinks issue once I am back off vacation and have had a little bit of time to catch up on some things.
