Buddypress questions regarding creating a group event

Hi,

This looks like a great plugin. I am trying to set it up to work in Buddypress, but having some difficulties even after reading several of the trouble-shooting articles. Here are my questions:

1) Can I make it so that when an event is created on the front-end it automatically publishes the event and they don’t get the green “pending approval” message? Right now I don’t see where or how the event can be approved even if it’s the group admin creating the event.

2) How do I make is so that only group admins are able to create an event? (If this is set in Settings>User Capabilities and has to do with any of the bbp related settings I am unable to check any of those boxes. After I click on the “Save Changes (All)” button, it removes the checks from any of the bbp related boxes I’ve tried to check.)

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Shannon
