Randomly sort users on signup

I am searching for a hack to randomly sort users into one of four usergroups upon signup to my website. This needs to be able to be over-ridden, and once sorted, the user cannot change group. I know this is possible, since I have seen it done on another forum. However, when I asked the admin of that forum, she had forgotten the code.

Please help.

That's a great idea for a Harry Potter forum! I can see how without this hack, 98.5% of the members would choose Gryffendor or Slytherin.

It looks like no one has done this hack yet, but maybe someone could. :)

:D How did you know it was for a Harry Potter forum? I've seen it on one already, so it must work. I really need more Hufflepuffs, because none on the old forum were active. I'd like the code before I activate the forum if possible. That may not be for a couple of days yet.

First of all, I guessed, since it was the first thing I could think of that would "sorting". Then I went to your homepage, and it was obvious. ;)

:D Well... I know this thread has gone down to the second page... PLEASE help! I really really need to get this hack. I don't want people just to be sorted by a quiz, that's old. Please help (still).

Boofo pointed me to this thread :)

I haven't tested this but it "should" work...

open up register.php and find

PHP Code:


		
			
// ### DO THE UG/TITLE UPDATE ###

        $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET usergroupid=$user[usergroupid] $dotitle WHERE userid=$u");

and replace it with (filling in the array with the groups you want to randomize)

PHP Code:


		
			
// ### DO THE UG/TITLE UPDATE ###

        $rnd_grps = array('7', '9');

        $user['usergroupid'] = $rnd_grps[rand(0,count($rnd_grps) + 1) - 1];

        $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET usergroupid=$user[usergroupid] $dotitle WHERE userid=$u");

This assumes your users have to activate their accounts before they can use them, if that's not the case I can modify it.

Hope it works for ya :)

Oh. No. They don't have to activate their accounts before signup. Can you modify it for me? All my users are in Gryffindor :( at the moment, except the manually changed ones.

Sorry for double posting, but I really need help with this! It's been well over a month, and I need this hack! Can someone help me with a hack to randomly sort users on signup with no need to have activation of account?

Love the help!
