Bug in Admin approving pending Events?
Using Jamroom
Thanks Michael. I almost never get 2 or more events pending at once, but I realize it'd be a convenient function for that. I guess it confused me partly because the "invalid pending ID" error message didn't make sense to me, so I thought maybe something was wrong somewhere.
It's not a critical thing, but might confuse others in the future perhaps. Thank you for looking into it!
Bug in Admin approving pending Events?
Using Jamroom
If I use the little checkbox and then the "Approve Checked" button, i get an error message and the event is not approved. But when i simp0ly hit the right hand "Approve" button, it works correctly and approves the pending event.

This is so great....and truly reflects the power of the Jamroom platform and the excellence of its team.
Hey- you need to put one of these videos on the home page of jamroom.net which is currently static and silent in comparison to all this new excitement.
Nate, you are an artist.

That helps then. Thanks Brian and Micheal! I'll mark this thread concluded then.
question on new joinup emails
Using Jamroom
Ok, I'm understanding your points, thanks. I mistakenly always assumed that a signup couldn't even go through if the email address was fake. Good to know now!
Brian- one last clarification please:
When you say
"If you have the Kickbox module installed, then make sure the "Signup Check Enabled" option is checked in the global config, and that will attempt to "sort of" validate an email address. "
...I do have that checked, but... what does 'sort of' mean? How does Kickbox 'check' whether an address is deliverable? And when an address is deemed 'undeliverable' by Kickbox, is that evaluation pretty reliable?
question on new joinup emails
Using Jamroom
Yes i understand what you are saying about the email 'looking like' it's valid because it's in a valid email format.
But what I'm saying is: a person tries to sign up as a member using (for example) Judyblue23@msn.com ....but she doesn't have an msn email account.
Does the current Jamroom 'validity check' check to see if the email is actually functional when a person signs up (whether it needs admin approval or not), or is it simply checking to see if the address 'looks like' a typical email address format? (i.e. not something like Judyblue23@msn@com )
If not, I would think it would be extremely desirable to have an email validity check in place for signups, to prevent people from joining your site using fake email addresses.
I do have the kickbox email validation set to actually check 100 member email addresses each day for free which is great at catching long expired/defunct members, but validating the email address as functional BEFORE the member can join would go a long way in preventing spammers or people with grudges or bad intentions from actually joining in the first place. Any thoughts on this? thanks!
question on new joinup emails
Using Jamroom
Quick question-
I had a new member apply and get approved by me, but I see in my email logs that no notifications got to her, even the one to let her know her membership was approved. The reason given was that no such user was listed in that email provider's customers. I deleted her profile since she'd not be getting any communication from the site without a working email.
My question is: doesn't an applicant's email address get automatically checked for validity when someone becomes a member of the site? I always thought they did.
Otherwise anyone could join with a fake or non-functional email address.
I know my Kickbox module checks through member email addresses in a systematic way, but I always thought a new member couldn't join without at least starting out with a valid email address in the signup process...not so?
Thanks!
