Ack, my fault. I was thinking the promotions system could handle custom profile fields, and that you could simply tell the system to auto-promote based on field 5.

I'm toying with the idea of adding a plugin to fire when the user logs in (login_verify_success, maybe?). The basic thought would be:

if usergroup = registered users 
   {
     get field5 
     if field5 = "Female" 
         {
            move to usergroup "Female"
         }
     else
         {
            move to usergroup "Male"
         }
     write new usergroup to user record
   }

This idea specifically checks that the member is already in 'Registered Users', so that we don't waste processing time checking banned members, members that have already been moved, or moderators/admins (who presumably would need access regardless of gender).

This method would catch existing members as they log in, and move them appropriately. New registrants could be moved as they confirm their registration using this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82992

What is your coding experience at adding plugins? Can you take this thought and make it work?
