Re-setting $userdata->set('usergroupid', $newusergroupid);

[woostar]

I haven't got an testing board at the moment so can't test this.

Question:
In register.php can you re-set

PHP Code:

$userdata->set('usergroupid', $newusergroupid); 


to

PHP Code:

$userdata->set('usergroupid', 8); 


using hook:
register_addmember_process

even though it is set before the hook (but not saved)?

TIA

Well it looks like it should work, I tried it and it creates a banned user, but I can't say for sure if everything will work as it should.

Wouldn't that put all new users into the banned usergroup? Is that what you are trying to do?

If the variable isn't saved yet, you should be able to overwrite the set like you have written.

Yes, I'm going to wrap it in a condition (antispam measure)
