Approved "members awaiting confirmation" to another usergroup

[jbear6]

I would like to send "members awaiting moderation" to a different usergroup (other than registered) after approval. For instance, "unregistered" cannot view or post, newly "confirmation approved" would be able to view only, and "registered" would have full forum privileges.

When I currently approve a new member awaiting confirmation, they automatically go into the "registered" user group. I want to put them into the "view only" group instead. Does anyone know where I can find the code to place the "newly confirmed" into a different user group, other than registered?

Thanks

register.php :

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET usergroupid=2$dotitle WHERE userid='$u'");

You can replace 2 with another usergroupid.

This works if user moderation is not on in your board. I mean if users are automatically becoming registered members when they approve their email accounts. I guess this was what you asked?
