Regarding #1...

I found 2 tokens in the form.xml file:

[NoModerationRequired] and [ModerationRequired] (both set to false)

I thought *maybe* adjusting the first to True, might work, however all that did was on upload display to the user BOTH moderation notices at the top, one right after the other. Then on upload, it was still moderated. What are these used for? Can I use these to somehow get the effect I'm looking for?

I know the client doesn't want them moderated at all, but even if they could live with that, the issue I'm having now, is the notification email appears to ONLY go to the administrator. The client isn't the administrator of the site, so I would have to include a role for them as a moderator...but I can't get the emails to go to them.

Thoughts?

Unfortunately, this module does not currently have a built-in way to disable moderation without allowing everyone to moderate. I have added an "issue" to the project in the hopes that maybe such a feature could be worked into the road map.

In the meantime, you can approve all entries in one swoop with Host access to run the following query:

UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}grmRepositoryObjects] SET [Approved] = 1;

Writing a scheduler task to run the above query could be done fairly quickly and easily. It would require writing actual code though.

The "Send Email when Item Uploaded" setting allows you to enter an e-mail address to send new uploads to, avoiding the e-mails to the admin account.

As far as the comments not looking desirable, this is kind of a subjective thing, as they look mostly fine in the most recent version of the module and appear to be easily styled via CSS. Are you on an earlier version of the module by any chance?

For the date format, look at the XML file for the appropriate template and view. Find the token for the date and modify it like shown below (doing so might also merit creating a new template to prevent upgrades from overwriting your changes).

<Object>
<Token>[CREATEDDATE]</Token>
<Settings>
<Setting>
<Name>DateFormat</Name>
<Value>ddd MM/dd/yyyy @ hh:mm tt</Value>
</Setting>
</Settings>
</Object>

Note the "tt" above.
