Custom Usergroup on Registration (via e-mail address).
 

This is a little custom hack originally written for Aeroguy.

This hack allows you to assign a custom usergroup that any users who match a given list of e-mail addresses (or part addresses) will be put into when they confirm their registration - users who are not matched will be still go into the default group (2).

Obviously you must be using e-mail confirmation of registrations for this to work.

Unzip the xml file and import it into vbulletin via the product manager.

thanx for the hack.. i was looking for something like this..

Hi...Can i ask what this would actually be used for please?
I mean what was the purpose that prompted the request?

I believe they ran a site associated with a college, so they wanted anyone with a college e-mail address to go into a special usergroup.

Ah....yeah i understand it now, i can see where this would be handy for some forums....

Cheers Paul

Paul, im gonna make a golden statue in your honour :P

Thank you thank you!

Also seems like a viable alternative to banning free e-mail addresses, which I never understood.

Thank you, actually pretty useful hack

Anyone got a good list of free email hosts? Today our forum suddently got hit with a major bogus user assault.
