HOW DO I automatically add someone to a Usergroup based on a Profile field?

HOW DO I automatically add someone to a Usergroup based on a Profile field?

For example, if I have a single choice Profile field for, say, "Gender" with possible responses of "Male", "Female" and "Other", is there some way they could automatically be added as an "additional" member to my corresponding "male", "female" or "other" usergroup?

(A 2nd, related question is how do I update my existing users based in this?)

Thanks

If you require users to activate emails, the code you are looking for in register.php is here:

Code:



                if ($userinfo['coppauser'] OR ($vboptions['moderatenewmembers'] AND !$userinfo['posts']))

                {

                        // put user in moderated group

                        $user['usergroupid'] = 4;

                }

                if (empty($user['usergroupid']))

                {

                        $user['usergroupid'] = 2; // sanity check

                }

If you are going to change their primary group, simply add:

Code:

   if ($userfield['field16']=='yes') // change this to suit you

                {

                   $user['usergroupid'] = 12;  // change this to suit you.

                }

If you want to add them to a secondary group, the code will be different, but it will go in the same area.

if ($userfield['field16']=='yes') // change this to suit you

                {

                   $user['usergroupid'] = 12;  // change this to suit you.

                }

Thanks, Amy

This looks close but I need to add the user to an "additional" usergroup, not as a primary one.

What code would you use to add a user to an additional (secondary) group. (the user may also belong to several other additional groups.)

Thanks

Funny, I searched for the exact subject as I need something like this too.
My variation would be if my exttra profile field is a number from 1 to 6 digits or starts with an M or A or LIFE plus 1-6 digits they are placed in their own usergroup which can be a primary group.
