זיהיתי באג הזה כשניסיתי ליצור הזמנות יפות שמוסיפות משתמש לכמה קבוצות ומפנות אותם לנושא, שזה יעבוד יפה על משתמשים מחוברים, לא מחוברים וחדשים.

להשחזר:

1. צור הזמנה שנוחתת על נושא שבו המשתמש לבדיקה שלך כבר יכול לגשת
2. הוסף קבוצה להזמנה (שבה המשתמש שלך עדיין לא חבר)
3. היכנס כממשתמש שלך לבדיקה
4. ביקר בקישור ההזמנה עם אותו משתמש

**תוצאה:** המשתמש לבדיקה לא מתווסף לקבוצה (הם צריכים להיות)

אם למשתמש אין גישה כבר לנושא זה (או שזה משתמש חדש), הם מתווספים לקבוצה(ות) בלי בעיות.

Thanks for reporting this! Sounds like an interesting one - will investigate and fix this up as soon as possible 🙂

This reminds me of the other recent topics about inviting existing users to groups:

- [Invitation Links are Only Working for Non-existing Users & Breaking Our Current Implementation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invitation-links-are-only-working-for-non-existing-users-breaking-our-current-implementation/357108)

Maybe this report that the invite link to the user-testers group no longer works is also related: [Join the Discourse User Testing Community - #29 by jordan-violet](https://meta.discourse.org/t/join-the-discourse-user-testing-community/309354/29)

Agree - I think that I’ve pinned it down a little more though. This functionality used to work, so this seems like a regression. Probably at the time of the fix alluded to in those other threads.

It would likely be appropriate to merge them all together.

Personally I believe this to be a highly valid use case. It permits the use of a single streamlined process to onboard people regardless of whether they are already on the site. Otherwise you need two parallel (and difficult to administer) processes for current and new users.

Thanks for the bug report, @nathank!

I’ve just merged a fix for this:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/32762](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/32762)

Let me know if this fixes the issue for you, or if you run into any further problems!

נשמע שהצלחת לפתור את הבעיה בצורה מושלמת! אני חושב שניתן לסמן את זה הבעיה #מתוקנת

הייתי צריך לבחור בתהליך עבודה פשוט יותר עבור האירוע הנוכחי שההזמנות קשורות אליו, אבל מצפה לנסות את זה בצורה ראויה בקרוב.

It may also be worth a ping to @gassim and @UnicornX as well to see if this has solved it for their use cases, and round out those topics too. 🤞

I’m getting an ‘invite expired’ on the one in [Join the Discourse User Testing Community](https://meta.discourse.org/t/join-the-discourse-user-testing-community/309354), which is encouraging as that sounds like it would work again if the invite redemption was extended. (Though that might also be because I already used it ages ago and forgot about it 🙂)

Thanks a lot JammyDodger, moin, nathank, and pento! This is **exactly** what I was requesting in the post [Invitation Links are Only Working for Non-existing Users & Breaking Our Current Implementation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invitation-links-are-only-working-for-non-existing-users-breaking-our-current-implementation/357108)

Thanks Pento for the fix …

I’m hoping this is a permanent fix? (cc: @lindsey , @pmusaraj.)

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that one out, I’ve created a new link without an expiration date. 🙂
