Description
I'm trying to assign all new users to a USER group, where they can be taken through the steps to learn how to use my site. I have several groups and a few are hidden. Og_mandatory_groups will only allow me to chose between none and my admin group, which is one of the hidden and closed groups.
I definately do not want my admin group to be swamped with requests when there is no intention of allowing new users into the admin group.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
I'm on Drupal 4.7.3 and I'm deffinately using the patched version of the og_mandatory.

You can only choose from among open or closed groups for the mandatory group. Invite or moderated groups are not an option.
Try making your "user" group either closed or open.

Hi, sorry to open this issue again but I'm curious as to why Invite Only and Moderated groups cannot be selected as mandatory groups. I've patched the module to allow both types of groups and it seems to work fine. Was there a particular problem with allowing this?
In case it helps, I have attached a patch for the modifications I made on my site.
Thanks,

um - well I'm sure you could make it work, but it's non-sensical. Why would a group that all new users are added to automatically need to be moderated? What's the use case?

In my situation, the use case is needing to assign users to different moderated groups depending on when they sign up.
For example, if I'm doing a promotion on my site in January, I want to make sure all new users who sign up that month end up as members of, say, a NewUserPromotionJan group. I don't want existing users, or new users in Feb, to be able to join the group, so it needs to be a closed or moderated group.

ok - but closed is already an option.
