Register and go to a specific usergroup on select a option

[Kanustep]

Hiz,

I would like to set a function on registration so if users select the proper option from a drop down menu they will be included into a user group.

For example:
>> Company (go to company_usergroup)
>> Freelancer (go to freelance_usergoup)
>> Normal user (go to register_members)

Is this possible? is there a mod to simplify this?

thanks

anything is possible - you just need to code the script (or hire someone to do it for you)

not sure if there is a modification available

Thank you, any recommendation for a programmer?

This is just an educated guess, but you could edit the 'register' template to add the drop down menu. Then in the register.php file find either '$_REQUEST['do'] == 'addmember'' or '$_POST['do'] == 'addmember''. In that section there should be some line that looks similar to $Userdata->set('usergroupid', 3). Based on the the data you get from the drop down menu change the usergroup ID thats passed to that member function call.

Thank you for the tip RLShare, are you willing to accept a job to do it for me?

OK here is a quick go at it.....


first a template edit...

go to,
Styles and Templates->Style Manager->Your Style->Edit Templates->Registration Templates->register

Find:

PHP Code:

$human_verify 


Above it add this...

PHP Code:

<fieldset class="fieldset">
                <legend>Account Type</legend>
                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="400">
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2">Type:</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        Please choose the account type.<br />
                        <select name="accounttype">
                        <option value="2">Registered User</option>
                        <option value="5">SuperMod</option>
                        <option value="7">Moderator</option>
                        </select>
                    </td>

                </table>
            </fieldset> 


Edit the 'value' and name of each option to correspond to the names and usergroup ID's you set up. Then save it.


Next take the plug-in I attached and open it up in a text editor.

Find:

PHP Code:

if(in_array($accountusergroupid,array(2,5,7))){ 


and replace the numbers 2,5,7 with the usergroup ID's that correspond to the usergroups you set up.


Then save and import the plug-in.

Thanks for this! Is there a way to still use email confirmation along with this? Can I make additional 'waiting for confirmation' type groups that will then become these specified usergroups after confirmed?

Thank you!!
