Hi Allan,
since email is not enabled on the demo site, you can only see one part of Admin Verification process which I am going to describe below:
1) once a user registers, an email will be sent to the admin email set in the admin control panel, notifying the admin a user is waiting to join the forum. The email can be modified in the admin control panel.
See
this section and choose the
Related Server Messages tab to review the
Admin Approval Related Messages sub section for the email template.
2) since you cannot see the email at the moment (no email sent on the demo forum), you can still list users awaiting approval by going to the
User Management section. Check the box titled "Show Users who are waiting for Admins to approve their registration" and click Perform Search (you don't have to input anything in the textbox).
Click on the user name, and you'll see a drop down menu beside "Registration Status" indicating that the person is in "Admin Approval Pending" status. Change the selection and hit Save to approve the user (the user will be able to log in now).
The software does not have the ability to move users to group based on the registration form info. However, with the help of the Site Integration Package (a set of classes to allow you to interact with the forum database externally), you can create your own registration form, examine the user input and move user to desired user group using your own registration logic.
A SIP readme for the previous version is available
here. The SIP will be available for the new version once it is out of beta. The SIP will be expanded to include a lot more features.
