Usergroup for new members

[matthewhotdude]

I can see how to create a usergroup, But how do I set up what usergroup new members go into?

[James Birkett]

I could be mistaken but I believe it's the register.php file (was looking at it yesterday):

PHP Code:

// assign user to usergroup 3 if email needs verification
    if ($vbulletin->options['verifyemail'])
    {
        $newusergroupid = 3;
    }
    else if ($vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['coppauser'])
    {
        $newusergroupid = 4;
    }
    else
    {
        $newusergroupid = 2;
    } 


As you can see , "$newusergroupid = 2" (line 356) is the new usergroup ID, so it could be possible that by changing the integer in this variable to the usergroup ID you want; it should work.


The nearest hook to this location is

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('register_addmember_process')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


which is like 385.

So I just change this to the usergroup id and thats it

$newusergroupid = 3;

I've not tested it but I would guess so.
Feel free to change it and register a test account then see what usergroup they are inserted into; you can always change it back by changing the integer.

[matthewhotdude]

// assign user to usergroup 3 if email needs verification
if ($vbulletin->options['verifyemail'])
{
$newusergroupid = 3;
}
else if ($vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['coppauser'])
{
$newusergroupid = 4;
}
else
{
$newusergroupid = 2;
}

So which one am I changing

as I changed the 3 one but it didnt work

[James Birkett]

No, change the 2 to whichever you want.

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['verifyemail'])
{
$newusergroupid = 3; // users awaiting e-mail verification
}
else if ($vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['coppauser'])
{
$newusergroupid = 4; // coppa users/if you are moderating new members
}
else
{
$newusergroupid = 2; // standard usergroup if registration went fine.
}

you would change the

PHP Code:

$newusergroupid = 2;
