Clubs approval?

[Navigare]

I'm taking the new Club feature for a test spin and have configured it to require approval but where do a moderator or administrator approve? Can't find it in the ModCP nor the ACP? 

[Morrigan]

I've approved it straight on the clubs page. The approval Queue may have been overlooked, you may want to post a bug. @Navigare

[Navigare]

Thanks @Morrigan, I don't see anyway of approving the club created by myself on the club page, I'll post it to the tracker.

[Morrigan]

You probably bypassed the queue as your an administrator @Navigare

[Ocean West]

yea i am in the same issue i just created a club but no way to approve it.

[Songstuff]

yup, same deal

[opentype]

Yeah, I only discover pending clubs by accident. It needs to be in the regular approval queue, which means an email is sent out to all admins.

I created a club as an admin and can't even approve the darn thing. Where is the approval queue for clubs? I'm on 4.2.2.

How is this something that's made it to 4.2.2 without being resolved?

Go to club and you'll see the APPROVE and DELETE buttons.

I'm not so sure about that.

I didn't even see one of the member-created clubs until I went in the ACP, and a club I created as an admin didn't have approve/delete buttons, either.

I had to turn off the "approve" requirement, and then both were approved, and then when I re-enable it, the clubs that weren't approved are hidden again.

Here's my club. If I access the URL to the member-created club, I can't even see it.

I had to change the value to "1" in the database.

It's a moderator permission, IIRC.

Yeah, that did it.

Twice in one week I missed moderator permissions. Derrr.

Thank you @Adriano Faria.

Guess no way to make this an Admin only feature?

All you have to do is NOT give to the mod group or users this permisison. Give it only to Admin group.

I only see this which gets it to work as an Admin (me) with a Club I created:

Has leader privileges in all clubs? On
Can feature and unfeature clubs? On

Under Members / Staff / Moderators / Clubs 

I don't get that under Members / Staff / Administrators 

I get the Clubs toggle:

Can view list of clubs?
On Can edit club name, privacy and owner of clubs?
On Can create content areas in clubs?
On Can edit content areas in clubs?
On Can delete content areas in clubs, including the content inside them?
On Can delete entire clubs, including all their content?
On Can manage global club settings?
Extra Fields   All / None
On Can view extra fields? 

Which I have it all set to On.  Still wouldn't let me approve the Club.

What am I missing?

That's the permission. Remove it from your mods.

If I remove that, from the Moderator group then I as an Admin lose the button to approve Clubs.

[Adriano Faria]

Well, I think you are confused. In IPS4, ADMIN is the user who has power on ACP. MODERATOR is the user who power on FRONT-END, that's why they are two in ACP -> Members -> Staff:

So if edit MODERATORS, it won't remove rights from ADMINS, unless you have a mess in your secondary groups, which has no sense.

[Rheddy]

IPS needs to add a permissions setting in the Club settings in the ACP because it's impossible to find it unless you have a very large magnifying glass. The setting is impossible to find without searching through dozens of topics here on the support forums. I'm just confused as to why IPS made it so difficult to find the setting for Clubs.

unstable.

Like how?

 I'm on IPS 4.2.4 and there is still no such setting.

Sure there is:

… clubs are still unapproved and there is such such "approval" button within the club I created.

It’s on the club directory page. 

 

[Rheddy]

I found it after a lot of headaches. IPS sure didn't make it easy to find the idiot setting. I've spent the past 90 minutes trying to find it. @opentype, the thing is, my community gets hit by bots and spammers all the time which is why I don't want it set to auto approval, which is dangerous for my community.

[opentype]

Sure. I don’t have it on auto approval either. Still don’t see anything unstable. 

[Rheddy]

Thing is, even for long time veterans like myself who have been licensed IPS customers for a long time, I had difficulty finding the setting. It would make it easier to use if the setting was in the Clubs section in the ACP, or when doing a search within the ACP, that the setting would show up. Unfortunately, not even an ACP search will reveal the setting.
