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.

		<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);
	}

I need this mod for vB4 too... I would pay for it

It shouldn't be too hard to get this running, it's just a simple sql query more or less.
Couldn't one of the coders here give a hint?

Hi!

I figured out how to modify the code. The code works fine when it is inserted after line 1507. This is just behind the hook "($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('register_activate_proce ss')) ? eval($hook) : false;"

The code is:
// Get the value for field 5
$user = $db->query_first("SELECT field5 FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield WHERE userid = $userinfo[userid]");

if ($user['field5'] == 'Test')
{
$membergroupids = $userdata->fetch_field('membergroupids');
if ($membergroupids)
{
$membergroupids = 9;
}
else
{
$membergroupids = 9;
}
$userdata->set('membergroupids', $membergroupids);
}

My prob is, that it does not work when I use it as a plugin. Could anybody help?

I guess .... but it did'nt work
