Guests see "join group" button but can't join

[jthomaschewski]

If a guest access a private seafile group via https:///group/ he sees some information about the group (name, creator members...) and the "join group" button.
If the button is clicked an dialog opens with a "verification message" textarea and a submit button. This button doesn't work at all (Neither error nor success)

I think the user should have to register/login first.

Yes, the user have to register and login first.

Can you see more about your usage case? So that we can implement it in our
future version.

Sure, the user has to login first - than everything works as expected.
What I intended to suggest:

When opening the group page without being logged in and clicking "join", the user should be redirected to login form (and back to group page after login)

Currently the button opens a useless dialog - that's confusing.

Join group has been rewrite in 2.1, the group admin will receive notices when someone want to join the group.

Thanks a lot!
It's now mostly working as expected. Just one more thing: The notification message for the group admin just contains a link to the group and to the user. There is no "accept" button - neither in the notification nor in the group admin/member list.
So the admin has to manually add the user to the group. Thats ok but an "accept" button would be better in my opinion.

This feature will be added in version 2.2

This requires modification of database. Our release policy only allow
database modifications at major releases. So you have to wait for version
2.2.

join group is removed.

[enno-wattenberg]

Are there any plans to bring that functionality back. We would like to make groups available in our organisation and allow users to request access to them.

We don't have a plan to add this feature back currently.
