Random Usergroup on registration
 
Ever wanted to randomly sort your new registrants into seperate usergroups?

Now you can!

Good for Harry Potter themed forums. ;)


Instructions: Create the usergroups you want to randomly sort between and record the usergroupid's for use when installing the hack. Further instructions in TXT file.

File Modifications: 1 (register.php)

Template Mods: 0

Time to install: >2 minutes


Enjoy!

Update: Version 2.0 released
This version incorporates code by True.Rooster which fixes my half-assed attempts at getting the code right. (It's been a while... lol)

To upgrade, reapply the hack.

Nice:)

Pretty cool.

Would there then be an easy way for the user to change their group post registration? I could see something like this hack being fun for RPG type sites.

Merjawy 08-21-2004 12:42 AM
Nice indeed

but I don't want to do a random thningy :) I want to simply make new users register into a usergroup of my choosing, not the default usergroupID 2 , can I do that with this? :)

thnx

Do you have a script to automatically assign random usersgroups to existing members too (excluding moderators and admins)? :) So you can run the script once.... everyone would be assigned a certain group, then randomly add people to new groups as they register.

Just only put one group, that'd do it.

No, I don't, as I coded this for a request, not for my own usage.... I think one could be written though, I just will have to find time... They gave me shifts every day this week at work so I'll be hard-pressed for time.

dstruct2k: what is the application of this hack on your site?

b4ne 08-21-2004 02:14 PM
Coudl this be changed so that the user has some otions like

1
2
3

and whatever option he chooses when register he gets put into a specific usergroup ?

isla142 08-22-2004 01:08 PM
This doesn't appear to be working. I put it on my site and signed up as a new member, but for some reason they were placed in 'COPPA users awaiting moderation' (group 4)

I had put the four usergroups as 2 (Gryffindor), 9 (Hufflepuff), 10 (Ravenclaw) and 11 (Slytherin). Maybe you need to check your code. I did a straight copy with the numbers changed.

That would be because you're requiring email verification or COPPA registration. This hack doesn't support verification yet.

No application. Wrote it for someone else. ;)

That's the thing. I don't require e-mail verification or COPPA registration on my site, which is why I needed the original hack that I asked for modified. :disappointed:

Wifey 10-31-2004 07:50 PM
I don't require e-mail, COPPA registration, image verification, nor birthday's ro register. I just changed the not requiring birthday and am hoping that this alleviates the problem I'm having, but for some reason or other a few people have been thrown into that COPPA group up on registration. Any ideas?

Here's my PHP code verbatim from my DB:

PHP Code:
// RANDOM USERGROUP HACK by dstruct2k
// Replace "999" with the usergroupid's of your randomized groups.
// Add extra groups if required.

    $rndgroups = array(
        '10',
        '11',
        '13');
    $rndid = $rndgroups[rand(0,count($rndgroups) + 1) - 1];

    // assign user to group 3 if email needs verification
    if ($vboptions['verifyemail'])
    {
        $newusergroupid = 3;
    }
else
    {
        if ($vboptions['moderatenewmembers'] OR $_POST['coppauser'])
        {
            $newusergroupid = 4;
        }
        else
        {
            $newusergroupid = $rndid;
        }
    }

// END RANDOM USERGROUP HACK by dstruct2k

Okay, since I'm wickedly impatient I decided to see about figuring this out on my own. After disabling virtually everything and still having the problem, I realized that the hack was rotating improperly and therefore throwing people into COPPA - problem is, they weren't IN the COPPA usergroup. The query had somehow created a NEW usergroup with no name and no id number that can't be modified. All as a result of a simple -1

So, change:

PHP Code:
$rndid = $rndgroups[rand(0,count($rndgroups) + 1) - 1]; 
to:

PHP Code:
$rndid = $rndgroups[rand(0,count($rndgroups) + 1)]; 
and there should be no more problems.

I tested it no less than 5 times and was able to keep it working even with re-activating my image verification :)

bexie 11-14-2004 09:48 PM
EXACTLY what I need--is this possible for 2.3.5?

Doing that didn't solve the problem.

Try that there - I've been creating new users for the last 30 minutes and it is working perfectly. I've tested with everything from 1 usergroup to 10 random ones and no errors. All I did was add an if statement that if there is only one automattically sets that as the group otherwise it randomly generates a group. I fixed the random part as well so it wouldn't throw out bad group numbers.

The Equivocate 12-10-2004 05:17 PM
Yep, your fix worked - thanks!

I ended up having to change mine to -1 and it works perfectly now :) Sorry, I should have posted that a while back, but your problem is fixed so it really makes no difference how I fixed mine :p

edit: LMAO. And now I just looked at what the person after you posted that said and it's what I did. I'm so proud of myself, I figured it out on my own which is AMAZING considering how PHP illiterate I feel!

@ Bexie - hello Bex, darling. This was originally a vB2 hack, so yes, they have it for 2 - check the forums, I know it's there. If not I can find it for you because I know someone who uses it.

Hey Ashley I finally found the hack you used. Anyways Ashkarita's technique work perfectly for me also. Hmm...

Dark Aura 04-08-2005 01:28 PM
Is this hack not supported if you have to moderate your members when they sign up?

I have tried all the different ways of doing this and nothing works :(

TrentHart 12-04-2005 06:00 PM
Does this hack work for 3.5 boards?

If this could work for moderating new registrations, that would be most excellent.

teamsupra 07-24-2007 04:56 PM
