Here's a little something to give back to this community that has been of such help to me.

With this plugin, you can have a user entered into or removed from a secondary usergroup according to several types of controls that can be placed in the user's profile via custom fields. This acts only on SECONDARY usergroups and will not affect the user's PRIMARY usergroup.

At each login, the plugin will check for the appropriate setting in the user's profile, then add or remove the user from the specified membergroup as appropriate. Note that this does not act instantaneously upon entry of the data in the profile, but requires a new login for this to take effect. [Starting with vB 3.6.4 (maybe earlier, I didn't install anything between 3.5.4 and 3.6.4) this will take effect with one or two page reloads.]

Controls currently available:
1) Password for single usergroup
2) Yes/No choice for single usergroup via radio button
3) Choose one of several usergroups via radio buttons
4) Choose any of several usergroups via multiple checkboxes
Note that you may write your own additional controls and use the two included functions to do the actual insertion into, and removal from, the target usergroups.

Tested with vB 3.5.4, 3.6.4, 3.6.7-PL1, 3.8.7PL3 only.

Full instructions are in the downloadable text file autojoin.txt.

Update log:
  • 1.00 - Initial release
  • 1.01 - Sorts output membergroups numerically plus a few other small changes
  • 1.02 - Rewritten using defined functions for adding to, and removing from, memberbgroups. This should make it easier to follow the logic and to adapt the code for other situations (e.g.checkboxes or radio buttons instead of text profile fields)
  • 1.03 - InGroup() and OutGroup() functions rewritten to make them more useful when dealing with other situations than the somewhat restricted application of entry/exit of specific membergroup via stored password.
  • 1.03.1 - Additional tweaking of InGroup() and OutGroup() functions. Tested extensively and seem to be working as intended. Tested examples of using via radio buttons instead of text field added.
  • 1.04 - Added protection against doing anything re user's current PRIMARY usergroup in secondary usergroup list. Functions renamed to IntoGroup() and OutOfGroup().
  • 19 April 2006 - all code moved from this thread into the downloadable text file.
  • 1.05 - Added control for using multiple checkboxes to choose any of several usergroups.
  • 22 May 2007 - tested with vB 3.6.7-PL1
  • 24 Sep 2012 - tested with vB 3.8.7-PL3

Had I known of its existence I probably wouldn't have created this one.

makaiguy, Your hack worked perfect for me, we are using your code with a single choice menu to pick a home state, we run a jeep wrangler forum, and are using your hack to allow us to do local and regional forums based upon this choice.. regardless of another hack being out there. Thanks a Ton, Don

Just updated my test board to vB 3.6.7-PL1. Original code from 3.5.4 continues to work as desired.

If you've installed this plugin, please don't forget to click the Installed link in the first post.

Please help me urgently, i added your details in and now i can't access my forum AT ALL. How can i turn it off? I can't access my admin panel or anything. Please help.

I went to vB AdminCP, go to Plugin System > Add New Plugin.

Under Hook Location, scroll down to select 'global_start'.

In the 'Plugin PHP Code' field, copy/paste your edited control
script from Part I.

// Place user in/out of single usergroup
// according to yes/no selection made in profile, via
// custom radio button field. ver 1.04

// Enter values in the strings below for your forum
// custom field containing your radio button
$radio_field = 'field10';
// Text returned for 'yes' choice
$join = 'Female';
// Usergroup to enter/exit
$ug = '33';
// You don't need to enter anything below here.

// Derive additional needed variables
// userid of user
$userid = ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
// current usergroups as array
$ugarr = explode(',' , (''.$vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids']));
// current radio button setting
$fieldval = $vbulletin->userinfo[$radio_field];

// Do the work
// Proceed only if there is a user choice
if ($fieldval != '')
{
// If yes, add to usergroups
if ($fieldval == $join)
{
$ugarr = IntoGroup($ugarr, $ug, $userid);
}
// Else no, remove from usergroups
else
{
$ugarr = OutOfGroup($ugarr, $ug, $userid);
}
}
// End of Control Code


// Define functions used in plug-in
// ***************** Function IntoGroup() **************

Function IntoGroup($ugarr, $ugnum, $usrid)
{
global $vbulletin;
// only proceed if not trying to put into current primary usergroup
if ($ugnum != $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'])
{
// check for empty usergroup array
if($ugarr[0] == '')
{
// set veriables
$uglist = $ugnum;
$ugarr[0] = $ugnum;
$doit = true;
}
// usergroup array not empty
else
{
// If not in usergroup already
if(!in_array($ugnum, $ugarr))
{
$doit = true;
// add group to end of array
array_push($ugarr, $ugnum);
// sort numerically
sort($ugarr, SORT_NUMERIC);
// if only one group in array
if (count($ugarr) == 1)
{
// simple group list string with no commas
$uglist = $ugnum;
}
// else more groups in array than one
else
{
// group list string with comma delimiters
$uglist = implode(',' , $ugarr); // convert array to string
}
}
}
if ($doit)
{
// Put updated usergroup list into database
$updatefields = $vbulletin->db->query("
UPDATE user
SET membergroupids='$uglist'
WHERE userid=$usrid
");
}
}
return $ugarr;
}

// ***************** Function OutOfGroup() **************
Function OutOfGroup($ugarr, $ugnum, $usrid)
{
global $vbulletin;
// only proceed if not trying to remove from current primary usergroup
if ($ugnum != $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'])
{
// Proceed only if usergroup array not empty
if($ugarr[0] != '')
{
// Check for target usergroup in existing array
if(in_array($ugnum, $ugarr))
{
// Rebuild array without target usergroup
$iii = 0;
foreach ($ugarr as $value)
{
if ($value != $ugnum)
{
$new_gparr[$iii] = $value;
$iii++;
}
}
$ugarr = $new_gparr;
if (count($ugarr) == 0)
{
$uglist = '';
}
else
{
$uglist = implode(',' , $new_gparr);
}
// Put updated usergroup list into database
$updatefields = $vbulletin->db->query("
UPDATE user
SET membergroupids='$uglist'
WHERE userid=$usrid
");
}
}
}
return $ugarr;
}
// End of function code

Mum - nobody else has reported anything like this.

See this post for information on how to completely disable the hook system so that no plugins will run. If your ONLY problem is with a plugin installation, this should allow you to access your AdminCP:

This mod is excellent and works a charm. I've added it to my clan website.

I've set it to appear in the "edit profile" as 2 radio buttons however.... what I would really like is a custom page showing two images/buttons. When clicking on one it will add you to that usergroup.

Is that possible?

THANKS

D

Not possible as written, but you could create a php page and adapt the code, I suppose. Would be an interesting project for somebody. You could use the two subroutines from this mod to move people into and out of the usergroups, but you'd have to write your own code to handle the choice made by the user.

Here's a tutorial on creating vB-based php pages:

We're in the middle of finally updating vB from 3.6.4 to 3.8.7-PL3 (long, long overdue). Although I'm having some difficulty getting some of my other tweaks to work, I'm pleased to announce that this mod continues to perform as written.
