I can't seem to figure out how to get the Membership Request option to show on my group page.

1. installed and enabled
2. added Group Membership Request in the group types installed content
3. gave permissions to request membership to the outsider role
4. added the group operations block to the sidebar on my group's homepage
5. authenticated as an outsider user
6. the sidebar renders as if there should be content there but the group operations block does not render at all.

According to the documentation, "Users who are not members of the group should see a link in the
group operations block to request group membership".

What am I missing?

It seems you followed documentation correctly. Could you double check that group operations block is assigned to the sidebar region ?

It definitely is. I have to set to only appear for the landing page of the team site that I am working with now. That page does not require authentication but I'm authenticated as an outsider user already.

1) I would find a reason why "Group operations" block is not displayed. It is not related to grequest module. If it is displayed correctly follow the next step.
2) To see an option "Request membership" you shouldn't be a member of the group and you must have a permission to "Request membership".

Basically that is all.

I also tried noticed the "select a group value" box and changed that to Group from URL. I removed the alias from my group node so that the URL now shows .../group/11 and now the group controls show in the sidebar but the only thing I'm seeing as far as links in that block is the dropdown for adding content (add article, add notification, add...., leave group).

In another basic page, I set the URL alias to be .../group/11/membership and added the group operations block to that page but it still does not show for anonymous or authenticated users (outsiders).

Ah!! Got it. I needed to allow anonymous users and authenticated users to view the group itself. Now the Request Membership link does appear on the group controls block.

Thanks for your help!
