In the membership->membership types (/admin/membership_type_list.php) it is possible to specify the type of membership which is given on registration.  Smiley

I would also like to be able to specify the membership status (active, on hold, or suspended).

I would actually like to start all NEW members as completely invisible (which works very nicely by putting them into the status "on hold").  However I currently have to do this manually!  Grrrrr!!!   Angry

Please can this be made as something which can be defined by admin?

Thanks!

This is a very important feature since it is important that NEW profiles are not immediately visible to other profiles.

Can Skalfa say if this will be done or not, and if so, when?

nice suggestion... i have a question, would new member be able to do anything?

and since i am here i have a suggestion..... In board "Confirmed changes for Skadate 7" you made a suggestion for "Photo Authentiation" with random numbers authomatically generated by skadate software. The question is:

>> Why not used the current profile id three digit numbers generated for each profile to Authentiate Photos? Each profile as a unique three(3) digit number when they sign up...see in Admin Area.

>> So the only thing Skadate can do now is to have a Unedited Space on View Profile page where Admin would write "This Photo is Authentiated by Admin" so other members can see it

>> you can just ask members to contact you for their three(3) digit number and take a photo with it... this profile id number is better since you can go back and track member

What do you think?

I'm glad you support my suggestion.  Thanks :-)

What a user is able to do depends on what membership type admin chooses to set the profile in.  What I do is default all members to a "Awaiting Approval" membership type which has no rights.  Currently though, the profile is still visible to other users since I have no way currently to specify that a user is automatically invisible to others (=on hold), hence this suggestion.

(I'll leave you're other notes for other threads)

So, Skalfa, will you do this for us?  Tongue

Hi again.
I guess this feature request is almost the same as you requested here http://www.skalfa.com/boards/feature-suggestions/ability-for-users-to-put-profile-on-hold-should-be-configurable-by-admin-t587.0.html  but with more functionality. Let's post in one thread and provide us with screen shots of the feature interface and location. Thank you for your concerns.

No.  These are 2 very DIFFERENT things:
1) The ability for admins to configure what state the profile is when it is created
2) The ability to control whether or not the user can control the state of the profile

Hi brusselsshrek and others.

Thank you for your clarifications I appreciate them.

There is an option called "Allow not reviewed profiles to use site" under the Global Configuration/Auto Mode. That option is linked to "not reviewed" parameter in the software so each new member's profile has that parameter and  waits for approval of his profile by an admin. If that option is unchecked then new registered members won't be able to use the site until their profiles will be approved by the admin. But their profiles will be visible to the others.
We offer you this way:
We can improve that option and parametr where members won't be able to use the site and their profiles won't be visible to others until they will be approved by the admin. But their status will remain active.
Please let me know your thoughts and
questions.

No, that is not what I want at all.  What I have requested is that it is possible to set in admin the membership status (active, on hold, or suspended) given on registration.

Hi brusselsshrek.

Why do you need to suspend new registered members? I do not think that it will be useful for both administrators and members. Imagine when you register your profile and then become suspended without any reason. In that case I would leave the web site which has a system which suspends new members.

Your feedback and comments are welcome.

I do not want to suspend new members, but I DO want to be able to put all new members automatically "ON HOLD" until they have been reviewed.  This means that they would be invisible to other members, until they have been reviewed.  If I had the option to choose whether new profiles are "ACTIVE" or "ON HOLD" that would be enough for me (it just seemed more logical to give admin control over the "status" flag).

For example, I have a site policy that ALL profiles MUST have a photo.  All of the new profiles (which haven't yet been reviewed, and are thus, by default in "ACTIVE" state are visible to everybody).  This means that screens like the New Members List (http://romeobox.com/member/new_members_list.php - see attachment) is absolutely full of members who SHOULD be invisible to everyone else.  I am not happy about this, but I currently have no option to state that all new profiles arrive in "ON HOLD" state.

Another example, profiles which have NOT yet been reviewed still show up in the SEARCH list (see attachment).

Sure, once the profiles have been reviewed then it is possible to set them as "ON HOLD" (=invisible) if they are not conforming, but I cannot check profiles every minute of every day to ensure that there are never new profiles which are ACTIVE which haven't been checked.

So, please can we have the ability to set the membership status which a new profile arrives in (or at least the choice between "Active" or "On Hold").

Dear

As you remember we offered you a way where we can improve the option "Allow not reviewed profiles to use site".

"We offer you this way:
We can improve that option and parametr where members won't be able to use the site and their profiles won't be visible to others until they will be approved by the admin. But their status will remain active"

It will be almost the same as you requested. For example if you do not tick off the improved option "Allow not reviewed profiles to use site" then your new registered members automatically won't be visible to other members until you approve them. It is the same as set them on hold status and vice versa.
So what do you think? If you agree with this offer we can add this to the list with confirmed changes for SkaDate 7.
