[Andreas]

Description

I have been waiting for this for quite some time. Thank you so very much. Will have to install very soon.

One question, does this assign a secondary usergroup or a primary?

Thanks again for sharing!

I'm not sure exactly how I will use it, but I'm beginning to formulate an evil plan.

@jzewatsky
It assigns an additional (eg. secondary) usergroup.
Changing the primary usergroup would require quite a bit more work.

Does this have a default in case they don't pick an option upon registering?

[Andreas]

Default = None :)

Does this have a default in case they don't pick an option upon registering?
I would make it mandatory if using this hack. The field that is.

I havent looked at the code, but it only works on signup? What if the user unchecks the option in USER/CP, will he/she be removed from the secondary group? This hack has so much usage. Thanks a lot.

[Andreas]

If the secondary group is public they can leave it through User CP, yes.

[HellRazor]

If the secondary usergroup assigned by the script is a moderated one, will it treat it as a join request?

[Andreas]

No, it will just join the group.
But this functionality (create join request if public moderated) could be easily added :)

can you make this so that it chages the primary usergroup? I am trying to filter underage users based on their birthdate entered.

[sensimilla]

outstanding this should came by default with vbulletin, thanks

Amykhar has relases a Plugin for vBulletin 3.5 which does that :)

How would this hack be modified if I wanted to send a user into a usergroup based upon a text field, instead of radio options and menu options.

Thanks,
Paul

Nevermind, got it working... Once the users sign up at www.xyztraining.com with the correct activation code, they are promoted to the correct group.

Thanks,
