Just be patient, a port will be released soon.

I've had this idea for a while & wanted to share it; I'd LOVE to see someone code this:

We have 'hidden' forums reserved for members of a specific secondary user group.
However, to get them assigned to that group, I have a list of instructions I send them.
1) Register
2) Click 'Contact Us' & request for permissions promotion
3) Wait to be approved.

My Proposed Modification to solve this:
It would be neat to have a special field on the registration form called 'Invitation Code' or something like that, which, when entered, will automatically join that new user to that secondary private user group.

Alternatively, being able to send a special 'invitation link' which will automatically have that field filled in would be nice.

Obviously I'd want to be able to make multiple invitation codes which corespond to multiple user groups.

This concept is kind of like a Coupon Code in a shopping cart; you enter a predefined code & automatically receive a discount; no need for manual approval.

p.s. - the secondary user groups I am referring to here are NOT joinable. They are for BETA testing software & only selected BETA members get invited.

If anyone has any input on this idea, please reply to this thread.
I'd love to see it.

yes it would be great

That is available in the commercial edition of this hack.

How do I get a hold of it? I needed this yesterday :-)

Please check out the site linked to in my signature. You can get a hold of it from there. :)

I tried but couldn't find the link. I found another mod that adds a user to a Secondary User group based on the value of a field displayed at registration. I'm winging it with that but would like a way to invite them via the Invites System.

I didn't see anything about that feature I was asking you about there. Can this automatically take 1 user's invites & add the new members to a secondary group?

Being a commercial version, I assume this isn't free. How much is it?

I am not sure I understand the question - please clarify.

Not currently (never requested), but it can add users to a primary group automatically.

As it states on the page, a license is $24.99, and that includes one year of support and updates.
