    membership activation

    Reply Quote
    currently there are 2 ways for membership activation -
    1. On receiving new member application, automatically status to activated
    2. Manually approved by admin
     
    We setup the first one - membership wil be activated automatically upon submitting the application form. However, none of registered member ever notice they have to edit their profile to allow their profile to be showed in the members public directory, even thought we have an detailed instruction specically for this issue ..as a result, we have to manually activate every member's public profile.....
    Is it possible to setup the default setting as "Allow to show my public profile", instead of "Not allow"?

    Hi there,

    We used to have this option right on the member application but for some clients it was very undesirable so we have removed it. To be on the safe side we decided to default it to 'Not allow' but it seems that we should revise this decision - you articulated the problem very well.

    Right now there is no way to change this default but we plan to address this in the next couple of releases.

    A better way might be putting this option as the second step in the application procee - once the applicants submit the application, they will be asked to select "allow to your profile in the public directory" or " Not allow", if "allow", they need to select which info they would like to show in the public directory. Only after they finish this process, the application can be completed and the account will be activated...That's more logical and user-friendly. What do you think?

    This is a good suggestion, thanks.

    We will most probably change the default to 'Show' for starters as we are redesigning a bunch of other aspects related to this setting in the near future.

    With more members, we spent more time on manually publish their profile, which is really time-comsumming. We really hope that the upcomming release will change the default to "Show". Will that happen? Thanks!

    Yes, our 2.32 version, which is coming tomorrow ( April,10) will have this option enabled to "Show" by default.
