Add User to Secondary Usergroup Based on the Value of a Custom Profile Field at Reg.

This version is for the SECONDARY group. The one for primary groups is here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82992

As far as plugins goes, this one is an advanced plugin because you WILL need to make some tweaks to suit your needs.

What this plugin does: If you have a custom profile field, for example one for gender, it checks to see if the user has selected a specific value and then assigns them to a secondary user group based on that selection.

Instructions for installation:
A. Create your custom profile field and make a note of the field number. (Or simply make a note of the field number of an existing field.)

B. Make a note of the value you are checking for. For example, you may be looking to see if your member selected "male" in your custom gender field.

C. Make a note of the usergroup number that you want to set the user to.

D. Here you have two options:
Option 1: Edit the attached XML file before you import it to change the field number, the value that you check for and the usergroupid. In my XML file, I am checking field5 to see if the value is yes and changing the usergroup to 10.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<plugins>
	<plugin active="1" product="vbulletin">
		<title>Put User in Secondary Group Based on Custom Profile Field Value</title>
		<hookname>register_activate_process</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[// Get the value for field 5
        $user = $db->query_first("
			SELECT field5
			FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield
			WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "
		");


		if ($user['field5'] == 'yes')
		{
					$membergroupids = $userdata->fetch_field('membergroupids');
		if ($membergroupids)
		{
			$membergroupids = $membergroupids . ", 10";
		}
		else
		{
			$membergroupids = 10;
		}

		$userdata->set('membergroupids', $membergroupids);		}]]></phpcode>
	</plugin>
</plugins>

If you are checking field10 instead of field5, change all references of field5 to field10.

Example: if you are checking your field to see if the value is male, you would change (change field number as needed):

if ($user['field5'] == 'yes')

to:

if ($user['field5'] == 'male')

And, finally, change the usergroup as appropriate. Instead of 10 in this line:

$membergroupids = $membergroupids . ", 10";

substiture your usergroupid of choice.

And in this line as well,

$membergroupids = 10;

Option 2: Import the XML file as is, open the plugin manager, and make your edits there.


NOTE: This mod works for forums that require users to verify their email address upon registration. If your forum does not require users to verify their email address, you will need to use a different hook. If I have time, I'll test that variation.
----------------
Example Gender Mod that separates users into secondary groups based on their gender. Don't forget, the values are case sensitive and the field numbers and usergroup numbers need to be changed to suit your site's setup.

// Get the value for field 20
    $gender = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM userfield WHERE userid=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);


		if ($gender['field20'] == 'male')
		{
			$membergroupids = $userdata->fetch_field('membergroupids');
			if ($membergroupids)
			{
				$membergroupids = $membergroupids . ", 42";
			}
			else
			{
				$membergroupids = 42;
			}

			$userdata->set('membergroupids', $membergroupids);		
		}
		else
		{
			$membergroupids = $userdata->fetch_field('membergroupids');
			if ($membergroupids)
			{
				$membergroupids = $membergroupids . ", 41";
			}
			else
			{
				$membergroupids = 41;
			}

			$userdata->set('membergroupids',$membergroupids);
	}

Hey medina, i dont think you will be able to contact amy through this thread. you will probably have to send her a pm. But to save you the hassle, i have already PMed her and she said it works fine, but i have put it on and stuff around with it for ages and still havent go it to work. I now have someone making a whole new mod for me. Once hes finished it and ive tested it, i will let you know and you might be able to buy a copy from him if you really need it.

Hope that helps.

Hello Murty,

Thank for your reply.

I'm two days busy with Amy's plugin, but i won't work on 3.6.5. I think that you first have to install vb 3.5. and install Amy's plugin and so you have to upgrade it to 3.6.

Is that maybe a option? Or am i talking bullshit.

Anyway if your new mod is all done Murty can you please response on this topic, so i can take a look to the new mod.

Thank you

Regard,

Medina

Yeah i stuffed around with it as well. To be honest the mod didnt really ever work for me properly on 3.5 anyways. I am still awaiting for my mod to be completed, but i will let you know when its done.

Hey guys,

For those of you interested, a guy has created a modification that will move users to a specified usergroup depending on a profile field selection.
For me, when a user registers, they need to select whether they are male or female. Once they have registered, depending on whether they selected male or female, they get moved to the male or female user group i created.

You are able to get this mod by sending an email to: hugh@alaweb.com and requesting the 'user profile group modification'.
This mod was not made for free, so it will cost you $25.00 US.

I have tested it with vb 3.6.5 and it works great, highly recommend!

PM me if you want more info.
