New Usergroup: How to let users select

[stevensteven]

I'd like to establish a few new usergroups, which is a simple task. But I'd like to allow users to select which usergroup they wish to belong to when they register. Would this be a hack, or is built into 3.0B5?

You'd need to hack this in or do it via membergroups.

Thank you for moving my post to the approrpriate forum. I am not familiar with member groups, can you provide me with additional info?

Thanks

vB3 allows members to be in multiple user groups, A primary group, which is there main one, and member groups, which are additional user groups. If you created publicly joinable usergroups in the Admin CP members can request to join them via the User CP.

I'd like to request some assistance in modifying my user registration so that it includes a drop down list show all of the publicly joinable usergoups. Please see http://216.67.233.212/forum/register.php? for my current registration screen. These templates and code were modified sometime ago by another developer.

First of all after registering all users belong to the REGISTERED USERS group but what you can do is create some public groups which they can join themself.

[mzenner]

I know they are automatically belong to registerd users and i have created public groups.

i only want that new users select the public group of their choice uppon registration (and not only in their controlpanel)

the hack exists for V2 -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56887
and we would like to see this hack for v3 :-)

Is there a hack for this in 3.0.3 yet?

Is there a hack for this in 3.0.3 yet?

their is no default option to do it,
but i used a simple sollution,
edited the PHRASE of the registrationcompleted and added the link to groupmembership
http://www.urllink.com/forum/profile.php?do=joingroup&usergroupid=17
so you just place the links you want the users to be able to join :)

it is a workarround but it works ;)

Awesome! Could you be a little more specific? Searching in template for 'registrationcompleted' yielded no results.

Thanks!

[mzenner]

i meant in phrases
sorry for that, my mistake
http://www.yoururl.com/forum/admincp/phrase.php?do=search

registration_complete
