Is This Possible?....

I created a User Group named "DVD". Each one of the subscribers has a different Username but all of them have the same password. Is there a way that when they sign up with different usernames, but use a specific password, it'll register them under the DVD user group name?

you know it's dangerous to give all the same password?
they can easily log in as someone else...

my tip: create a new customfield DVD-Password

then edit register.php and compare DVD-Passwordfield with the password you want for that group.
if they match, they'll be registred in this custom group

I have no idea how to do that.

well create the new field in your AdminCP
Editable by user, but not viewable in profile

then open register.php find

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,email,".$newstylefield."parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,usergroupid,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,options,birthday,maxposts,startofweek,ipaddress,pmpopup,referrerid,nosessionhash,avatarid) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))."','".addslashes(md5($password))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',".$newstyleval."'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','".time()."','$cookieuser','".addslashes($prunedays)."','".time()."','".time()."','$newusergroupid','".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','$options','".addslashes($birthday)."','".addslashes($umaxposts)."','".addslashes($startofweek)."','".addslashes($ipaddress)."','$pmpopup','".addslashes($testreferrerid['userid'])."','$nosessionhash','$avatarid')"); 


before this add:

PHP Code:

if($fieldX=="password") $newusergroupid=xy; 


replace the X with the new fieldid and the xy with the usergroupid of your DVD group

not tested but should work

[groovesalad]

I know how to find out the usergroupid, but how do I figure out the fieldID number?

[groovesalad]

nevermind, I think I got it...testing now

[groovesalad]

Doesn't work unfortunately. It just registers them under "Registered" instead of "DVD"

[Xenon]

hmm, had a second look at the code and it should work perfectly...

Is your typing correct, the password is cassensitiv.

you can add an

PHP Code:

echo $fieldX;
exit; 


after if($fieldX=="password") $newusergroupid=xy;

to see if the content of the var is correct

[groovesalad]

when I put in the echo code, when I try to register and give the correct password, the page refreshes to just a blank page. I took out that code and tried again and it still just registers the user as "Registered" and not under "DVD". Weird. Maybe I have my numbers wrong, but I have the Field ID set to the DVD group when I added that group, and I have the New User Group ID set to the Forum number. Is this correct?

[groovesalad]

I even switched the numbers around and it still doesn't work.
