Custom Usergroup on Registration (via e-mail address).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is a little custom hack originally written for Aeroguy.

This hack allows you to assign a custom usergroup that any users who match a given list of e-mail addresses (or part addresses) will be put into when they confirm their registration - users who are not matched will be still go into the default group (2).

Obviously you must be using e-mail confirmation of registrations for this to work.

Unzip the xml file and import it into vbulletin via the product manager.


History:

v1.01 : First Release.
v1.02 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

This has no effect on secondary groups - this is about what primary group you are assigned to when you confirm your registration.

Well the names pretty much say it all. The addmember_process is called when a new member is added (i.e. when you first register), while activate_process is when a member validates themselves via e-mail verification.

how hard would it be to transform this so instead of email it looks at age?

[Paul M]

It would be a totally new mod.

I am using this on 4.1.12 and it works which is awesome. The one problem I am having is with case-sensitive issues. When they register, I put them in a different usergroup which works great except when they case-sensitivity of their email address does not match up. For example, if I am "AshenTemper@gmail.com" under the list but I sign up using "ashentemper@gmail.com" (or vice versa), it sees them as two different email addresses and does not put me in the proper group.

Any way of addressing this issue? And yes, I do realize this mod is no longer being supported... just hoping someone who reads this and is familiar with the mod might have some good info/feedback.
