Even though I have set "Do you want groupmembers to recieve a PM when a new user joins their group?" to No in the back-end the PM:s keep coming. Is this a confirmed bug? Anybody who knows if I can stop this by hacking in the code or changing the database?

Edit: I checked the table "jos_gj_settingsstore" and I found this :

but also this:

What is this second setting?

Joomla 1.0.15
UddeIM 1.5

I have same problem. It sends PMS even though I set it to no in config.

Anyone got a fix??

The notify setting controls whether a user gets a PM for a new bulletin being created... Default is YES, set in back end. I will have a quick look to see if I can figure out why the PMs may be getting set when asked not to...

OK, that was quick eh?
It looks, at first glance, that if set to notifyjoin we send a PM to all group members, but if NOT set notifyjoin we still send a PM to creator/manager.

Whoops, followed it a bit further and I see that regardless of the setting, the notify function is forced to send the PM... Interesting.

I am really pressed for time right now, I will look into this a bit further later on. I think I see a work-around, but I am loath to recommend it without taking the time to really study this. If anyone wants to look at this in detail, I think the problem starts in groups.php at or near line 706. I will return to this when I can.

For what it's worth, I had the same problem and commented out lines 703 to 707 on groups.php. I think it is working correctly, although the group owner no longer gets a notification of a new member. Here were the lines I commented out:

if ( $gjConfig['notifyjoin'] ){
notify($groupid, $gjConfig['pms'], GJ_NEW_MEMBER, $name, 'notifyall');
} else {
notify($groupid, $gjConfig['pms'], GJ_NEW_MEMBER, $name);
}

I am NOT a programmer, however, so take this with a grain of salt! I can't guarantee this won't screw up something else in the process!

[EDIT: There is another section that is the same (or close) as this piece of code about 20 lines from the bottom of the file that I also commented out. The main problem that I'm seeing is that the group owner is no longer getting notices that there are new group membership requests when the group is set to require approval.]

Thanks. Would be nice if we could get a real fix for this sometime.

I am having this problem too.

I have 'groupmembers to recieve a PM when a new user joins their group? = no' but users still receive this message.

And worse is that non-group members have reported receiving 'new user has joined their group' messages.

how can i stop these messages being sent?
