Public groups are having to have entry requests approved ... is there a way to remove this in order for us to be accepted directly?
I should probably add the disclaimer that it's not recommended that users directly modify the db unless you know what you're doing.
That said, you might find this helpful: https://www.mysqltutorial.org/create-the-first-trigger-in-mysql.aspx/
easiest way i can think of would be to write a sql trigger for whenever a record of type 'group:join' is added to the ossn_relationships
table. basically you need to add a corresponding record to 'group:join:approve' - so you could just make an insert after trigger on that table.
but is there a way to leave when I publish without needing approvals?
Public groups are developed in a bit similar to facebook as in fb admin requires to approve requests.
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
