How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.
Robert Alexander
Hi all, Like the subject says... Our group is for a club, and any prospective members must already be a member of that club. In the group description text, it asks a prospective member to send a 'please add me' email to the group owner, including their membership info. Lots of folks don't bother to read, and just click the button. To alleviate this, I'd like the "Join" button gone altogether. I couldn't find anywhere in the setup to accomplish that, so how do I get rid of the "Join" button? Thanks a lot, Rob "Straight ahead and strive for tone." Frank Marocco. |
Rob,
On your group home page, there are two buttons - Apply for Membership and a green Login. You can't delete them. I am assuming your group is a restricted one.? If so, you can set up a process that requires people to answer questions or whatever you set up. You decide to admit them as members.

I really don't think you can. You could how ever set it up to where you ask the question in the notice. If they respond or if they respond no reject their subscription. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. On 24 Oct 2019, at 8:19, Robert Alexander via Groups.Io wrote:

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-NoticeJust an important point - people who are transferred from Yahoo Groups, people you "direct add" (a premium feature), or people you invite using your group invitation process, do not get the Pending Subscription Notice.

Thanks to both of you for your help. While not exactly the solution I was looking for, it will certainly solve the problem. :-) All the best, Rob "Straight ahead and strive for tone."

I'm in a similar situation, secretary of a club.? I've created a canned "Rejected Subscription" type of Member Notice and made it active.? When someone that I don't recognize tries to join, I just reject the application.? It basically says: "You must be a member of our club to join this group.? Please contact the club secretary at [club email address] for information or if you believe that you're already a member."

If you change to not private, not visible in directory, potential unwanted members cannot find your group.
If your group is closed and membership is closed, there is no reason to be visible in the directory. You can still invite your club members or, if you are a premium group you can direct add members of your club.? They need to know you plan to do that before you add everyone ib your club.? Janis |

A remote possibility, but could happen.
