Automatically add to secondary usergroup(s) upon registration?

[Cyricx]

I'm trying to figure out how I can automatcially add people to secondary usergroups when they register.

The reason for this is that I want them to be able to disable viewing for specific forums. The best way I've come up with to do that is to have the individual forums I want them to be able to disable to only be viewable by a specific usergroup.

When someone has been a member of a usergroup, they can leave and join it at their whim.

So, I'm just needing to figure out a way to add them to the secondary usergroups upon registration

Anyone know how to write this mod? or what code lines I might be needing to locate to hack it in myself?

I would like this hack please.

Basically want to automatically add new members into a secondary usergroup.

I've looked in register.php are found the following at Line 286 (v3.0.7): -

PHP Code:

// assign user to group 3 if email needs verification
    if ($vboptions['verifyemail'])
    {
        $newusergroupid = 3;
    }
    else
    {
        if ($vboptions['moderatenewmembers'] OR $_POST['coppauser'])
        {
            $newusergroupid = 4;
        }
        else
        {
            $newusergroupid = 2;
        }
    } 


This seems to be the place to set the secondary usergroup access but I don't know how.

Any ideas?

I am also interested in this - but with the new members join request being put into the queue for the usergroup leader to approve / deny.
