Profile dropdown choice puts you in certain usergroup
 

Hello

I am wondering if something like this exists: I have a star wars sight for fans. Something quirky and fun I thought about adding was the ability for the new user to be able to pick which alignment he is. I would do this in a drop down probably and the choices would be 'the light side' and 'the dark side'. Depending on which they chose, I was hoping that I could get vbulletin to automatically put them in a usergroup I have created. One usergroup is called 'the light side' and one is called 'the dark side'.

Each usergroup would have its own 'abilities' like darker, more evil ranks for the 'dark side' usergroup members to have, for instance.

Can something like this be accomplished perhaps?

Thank you!

may not quite what you are hoping to achieve, but you could always edit the options for the usergroups (light and dark) to make them joinable by members. That way they would be able to selct which usergroup to join through their usercp in the miscellaneous section under group memberships.

If you want it to be more like you mentioned in your post, it should be possible to create the profile field and then edit some of the templates to achieve the required effect but that would be a lot more work.

I actually thought about this, but people may pick both dark and light and I dont want them to be able to do that.
