If so can anyone help please?

the link looks this way for joining group 14

Code: Select all

ucp.php?i=groups&mode=membership&join=14

Hello, you lost me on how that mod could help me .. as far as I see it does nothing even close to what I want.

oh, i lost nothing.
first i correct the link from .m. to join a group
secondly i show, how u can realize you personal desire.

just take some modified code-parts from the named mod, make a new varaiable to this link
eg. ucp.php?i=groups&mode=membership&join=14&autojoin=true,
mix it with some own code and u have 100% what u want.

perhaps a confirm_key and session id are also used hence it is difficult to get it to work ...

Thank you for trying, but what you are saying is way beyond what I understand .. I need someone to say add this here, and this here, etc.. I know nothing about doing any code myself

I'm also looking for a solution to this!

well, let us have a look at the required fields

below is an html equivalent of the form used for confirmation of joining a group

<form name="confirm" action="./ucp.php?i=groups&mode=membership&confirm_key=23N57RQP52" method="post">

<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<th>Request to join group</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row1" align="center"><br /><p class="gen">Are you sure you want to request joining the selected group?</p><br /><input type="hidden" name="selected" value="8" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="join" />
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="confirm_uid" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="sess" value="2162e1dba3b09a3b50898c57dffa676f" />
<input type="hidden" name="sid" value="2162e1dba3b09a3b50898c57dffa676f" />
<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="Yes" class="btnmain" />  <input type="submit" name="cancel" value="No" class="btnlite" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

we need confirmation key and the session id to complete joining of a group
AND
all other fields in the above form are also required in the "link to join/un-join a group"

The best way would be to use the group_user_add and group_user_del functions. There's more info in the Wiki.
Getting this to work would mean editing both the PHP and HTML. Where would you like the button to appear?
