Custom registration for unique usergroup

[mustang_lex]

Yes I'm belting out the requests , :squareeyed:

I need a have a registration for for a custom usergroup I created. The standard one is approved once activated via email, this one will have to be approved by an admin. Has this been done??

Easiest way would be to register them into the normal Registered Users group, then let them join a public joinable usergroup, with a Group Leader assigned.

OK. I'm new at this and joining to a group seemed great, except anyone could join with out authorizing it as well as I would request a bit more info, then there general membership. Is this possible

[Andreas]

Place a group leader on that usergroup, the he/she can approve/disapprove applications.

[mustang_lex]

Is this in Admin CP? I'll try it

Ok tried, not what I need. It only allows the usergroup ID2 to join NOT replace the usergroup to ID9 as I need... :lick:

If your settings are correct the user can choose in his UserCP which group he want to show.

[mustang_lex]

I think the settings are fine, but the fundementals of the Joining the group is different then what I need.

I need a promotional type system in which a member will be upgraded to a custom usergroup upon approval from the admin (another words replacing ID2 (member) to (ID9) custom usergroup I created.

Joining merely makes a member part of a usergroup but still holds a member (ID2) title.

[Andreas]

As MarcoH64 already said, if it is correctly set up the user can choose which group he wants to appear as.

[mustang_lex]

OK I tried this again and if this is suppose to work then I missed something

1) Created a Usergroup (Stangette) and made it Joinable

2) Created a new user called StangetteAdmin

Settings were:
Primary Usergroup = Moderator (as I want to give this user mod permissions)
Additional Usergroup = Stangette

3) Went back to Usergroup Manager
4) Assign StangetteAdmin as Group Leader

Logged out

5) Logged in a registered member, -> User CP -> Requested to Join Stangette

6) Logged out, Logged in as StangetteAdmin
7) Approved the request in UserCP

Logged out

8) Logged in as the same registered member.

and got

User Group | User Title | Leave Group

Registered | Users Newbie | (Cannot leave primary group)
Stangette | Stangette | Leave Group

its hard to show, but the member is still Register as its primary and can't be changed. and I need Stangette to be its primary usergroup.
BTW "Newbie" is just the title I set up under "User Title Manager"

What could of I missed?


Oh and quick note. when I was in Usergroup Manager I saw
Groups marked with a * can be selected by their members to override the username markup and user title from their primary usergroup.

I have a feeling this may have something to do with it


UPDATE:::

Still checking things out. could this be the problem
This is under Registered Users setting in Admin CP

Allow Users to have Member Groups
(Sets whether or not permissions from the user's member (secondary) user group memberships are inherited or not)

Checked YES

This is not necessary, users in any group can be moderators.

The primary usergroup will not change, the user will just become a member of the group.

Exactly. You have to select this, then the user can decide which group he wants to show up as.
