  So I guess the mechanism would have to be:
  

  1. 
     
  2. [*:e898c3a909]user registers
     
  3. [*:e898c3a909]user gets password and is stuck in pending group
     
  4. [*:e898c3a909]user logs in as member of pending group and sees only part of the site
     
  5. [*:e898c3a909]user becomes 'full' member
     
  6. [*:e898c3a909]user sees full site
     

  
  
  Just trying to get my head around it

  
  
  That's it - you have it in one - or at least the way I see it working - As I said before the initial email would need to say that site access is limited until approval is granted. You could probally even give them access to more than unregistered - but not as much as users - depending on your site.
  
  Which is how my setup works at the moment - except they don't get sent an email saying that they are waiting approval and I manually have to go into users and move them from pending to users then send each one an email. which is honestly a pain in the rear...
  
  I think that this may be the only way to get a message to show to those who are pending because as you point out they would need to be logged in to enable message permissions only to the "pending" group.

  Whilst I am waiting for approval of membership at your site:-
  
  I have an error after going to admin, click on the icon and get:-
  
  Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "approval_admin_main.htm" in /var/www/html/jones/postnuke4/includes/classes/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088
  
  .761 withh Xanthia activated

  
  
  i didnt package that file, download it again, i fixed the zip and the tar.

  Edited to add
  
  Yes I am not thinking clearly tonight - ofcourse you are right - it works my way but not with the new module - because they would have to be logged in.
  
  It would work if those new members were automatically added to Pending - because they already get their password in the email advising them they are waiting approval.
  
  That way they could still log in but be restricted via permissions whilst waiting approval. The initial email wold advise them the will have restricted access until approval is granted.
  
  That then makes this module a shortcut to the way I have the site setup anyway - but this module allows me to approve and send an email advising them of approval in one motion - not several.
  
  Be much simpler if I can get past this initial hiccup

  
  
  "technically" they arent users yet, i dont know how i will get them into groups if they are not in the user table. their info does not go into the user tale until approval.

  Good module so far IMHO - but this "pending" a problem none of us thought about.
