Hi

Thats right, you don't need admin approval to continue in front. But I receive an email, see attachement, that I must approve the group. So for some reason the email is sent while it is not needed.

This issue is created in the last upgrade to the latest version 4.1.1.

Hi,

Hi

Hi,

its confirmed this is a valid bug. for temporary fix please edit that file, at line 1950, remove this code

if ($group->approvals == 0) {
    $title_email = JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EMAIL_NEW_GROUP_NEED_APPROVAL_TITLE');
    $message_email = JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_EMAIL_NEW_GROUP_NEED_APPROVAL_MESSAGE', $my->getDisplayName(), $group->name);
    $from = $mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom'); //$jConfig->getValue( 'mailfrom' );
    $to = $config->get('notifyMaxReport');
    CNotificationLibrary::add('groups_create', $from, $to, $title_email, $message_email, '', '');
}
