Custom registration for unique usergroup

[mustang_lex]

I checked no and still the primary user group has not been changed. :disappointed:

[Andreas]

As said, the primary usergroup will not change.

Thank You KirbyDE. It makes sense. This is something not for me. I want to be able to upgrade a member from "Registered User" to "Stangette Custom Usergroup" replace the usergroup, not have 2.

Its almost like if I could change the Promotions to be a request form instead of amount of posts. because "Promotions" I believe actually replaces the user to a different usergroup as I need.

another thing i noticed is

Can override primary group title/markup selected NO

This is located in the same spot where make usergroup joinable.

Does this make a difference

[Andreas]

May I ask why you want to change the primary usergroup?
As I see no real reason for that ...

Can override primary group title/markup selected NO

As said before, you must set this to YES to allow your members to chose which usergroup they want to be displayed as.

Maybe if I explain my purpose there may be a totally different way.

My website is a Woman/Mustang Showcase website.

I wanted to have a Community (Vbulletin)
and have a Showcase (Coppermine, WSN which ever I can get working)

The showcase will only be accessible for Stangettes (usergroup ID9) to be able to add photos to their albums and everyone else can only view, rate and comment. But cannot create there own showcase profile.

This BTW i been working on first and having better success.

Then theres the community. I was hoping to have this be the initial entrance, thereby a new person can either register to be a "Registered Member" (activated by email) to view and rate and comment and also have a vbulletin UserCP like normal,

or the person if SHE meets the minimum requirements (1 photo and is in fact a female) can register to be a Stangette (Usergroup ID9) (activated by admin or mod approval)

I been looking at these options

1) 2 seperate registrations
2) joining a group (i which replacing the usergroup ) didn'y work
3) use the registration form from the Gallery (coppermine etc...) but heard it conflicts with vbulletin.

I hope this makes sense. as this is the point of Stangette.com

This all does work out of the box.
- Let users register normally
- Set Usergroup registered to be allowed to have membergroups
- Set Usergroup ID 9 to be public and can override title/markup
- Put a Usergroup Leader on Usergroup ID 9 to make sure only females with fotos do join this group
- Set permissions so that only members of usergroup ID 9 can create albums/upload photos
(Dunno if this does work with Coppermine/WSN, but it should - at least it does with vBAdvanced Gallery)

This is sooooooooooooooo close to working!!!!!! The only problem is that the person who is part of the Group will still have a title as a "Registered member" and it may confuse people in the members list. Plus once they join, i want it so they can't leave. Unless requested, so I can delete there Gallery first.

[Andreas]

Can't leave is a problem, the Title isn't as they can select which title they want.

To keep them from leaving the group

In profile.php

FIND

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'leavegroup')
{ 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

eval(print_standard_error('You cannot leave this group', false));
