Any chance of this working in 3.8?

I looked at the code and am fairly sure it will work on 3.8 and maybe even earlier versions... it's just 1 plugin on registration to do it's magic.

I would install it and test to make sure, worst case you can uninstall, there are no database changes.

You will have to open the xml file and change "4.0.0" to "3.0.0" where it says "minversion."

EDIT- I have confirmed it does work in 3.8.

FYI if you add an additional IF statement to the plugin you can use this to move only people with a certain email address type to a different group... such as:

Will only move new users from military addresses or...

Will work for users with .edu addresses.

Installed on 3.8

Works, but I think it skips the User awaiting Email confirmation usergroup and moves them directly into the specified usergroup.

Hi
I am looking for something like this, where you can change the default user group.

But I want to have something that you can have the ability for users to CHOOSE a usergroup themselves on registration. I plan to have a usergroup per team and on registration someone selects that team and that team is a usergroup which only has access to that team's forums. Is that possible?

It might be possible but it would be a different mod than this. I would suggest making an official request in one of the requests forum (paid or unpaid) if you haven't already.

Confirmed here too. Installed per these instructions and works like a champ.

And I don't use the promotions system, I do usergroup changes manually only so this is right up my wheelhouse.

Oops - Problem with this upon testing!

New registrations, although they are told they must complete registration by clicking on a link in a email for verification, actually do not if you have this set to put them in any usergroup other than Users Awaiting Email Confirmation. It puts them in the group you select instead!

If you have it set to Users Awaiting AND another usergroup other than registered users, it still defaults them to the registered users group after successful email confirmation.

In short, it looks like this mod is not compatible with the email verification for registration option, at least in vB 3.8.6.

Anyone want to take a looksee and verify my conclusion?

Use the default vbulletin builtin promotion system, instead of working agasint the system with an addon.

Which in my case leaves me back to overriding the promotion system by manually promoting posters who I know for sure are not spammers and who I don't want to have restricted.
