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);
	}

oh ok. I'm a n00b, I don't know these things.

Do I need to entitle it: " Add User to Secondary Usergroup Based on the Value of a Custom Profile Field at Reg."?

No - Reeve of Shinra has provided one way of doing it, here

If you decide to do it that way, you will only require the use of one of the hacks by amy

If you decide to do it via custom code, you will need to ask

Do you know which one of these hacks would be better?

It depends whether you want the user to be moved into a different Primary Group or added to a Secondary Group

Nice hack. A few suggestions:

1. Make it configurable from admincp.
2. Replace

PHP Code:

if ($membergroupids)
{
$membergroupids = $membergroupids . ", 10";
}
else
{
$membergroupids = 10;
} 


With

PHP Code:

$membergroupids .= (!empty($membergroupids) ? ", " : "") . 10; 


[amykhar]

1. Yes, that can be done now. When I wrote this, changes to the admincp required code edits, which I was trying to avoid.
2. I realize your way is shorter, but when I write code for here, I prefer to break things out to make it as simple to read as possible. That way, new coders get a glimpse at what is going on.

Is there anyway to have the user added as a primary user of the Customer field as opposed to a secondary user?

thanks

Didn't read it up top, browsed it and missed, thanks for the heads up.

Is this working for gold? Cause I can't seem to get it to work. I have field5 and Yes (is it dependent on caps?) adds to group 11. Which is pretty simple...since it's almost default.
