finally... congrats mtrs

the mod version now seems too small compared to the past

One question: now we have Newly reg users group in 306. from the ACP we can set it to be the default group too. How does GRCPF handle that when it has its own "add to default group" settings? will this cause a conflict?

This mod adds users to groups after user_id created by user_add() function, which also adds users to the default (Registered or Newly Registered users) groups and sets default group. Thus, no conflict can be expected.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not yet.... I've just completed the install of the mod on 3.0.6 this morning. (still should check all my edits again).

So here's the issue... I'm trying to have a group assigned based on a CPF field. It's a drop down style, and it's only available to admins. The CPF is configured like this....

option 1: Contributing
option 2: non-contributing

Option2 is default.

When I go to use option 1 for a group assignment it doesn't work right. All it shows is -- in the drop down menu. I'm not sure if the mod doesn't allow for the "first" id in the drop down to work or not.

Suggestions?

Can you add ACP screenshot?

Try dropdown list like
Gender

- ?
  Female
  Male

Here's a screen cap....

It shows the drop down list of available fields. The first one is listed with -- instead of the name in the list.

I tried adding a "third" option called default which does show up on the list.

Thanks.

Trying your suggestion, I created another field (a like the one I have, and b) with the ?, male, female.

At this point the "gender" field works the same way.... the first entry is not a visible option to assign the group to.... the ? doesn't show, but the male/female options do.

So it definately seems like it's not reading the first "entry" in the list as an option for assigning groups. Almost like it thinks its a "lable" field.

Thanks for the support thus far. Let me know if that helps clear it up any.

I know I could go through and adjust the CPF field with a "crap" option as the first option, but it would mean that I would have to change a whole bunch of additional code that I have written to lock accounts out automatically based on the values in that field. (more of a PITA than anything else).

I checked the code again, the first option is ignored for a reason, to avoid adding anyone to groups by means of first option.

You can remove that limit and test if it fits your needs

Open
includes/acp/acp_groups_reg.php
Find (2 occurances) and delete

Code: Select all

AND l.option_id <> 0

stainless_steelrat · Post by **stainless_steelrat** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 8:02 pm

Yeah, that seems to be OK.... except that it is giving me an error when I go to remove the entry now....

It says invalid group_id. So there's probably another "check" value on one of the other sql queries....

Thanks for the quick suggestion.

Although, looking at it, if you are suggesting that it's a check value, maybe I should make the other changes, and leave this mod as stock. <G>

I can say that, since, it is tested for a few months as it is now. So, using as it is, shall be preferred.

OK, working on putting the other code up to the right configuration. I'll probably "uninstall" the mod through umil to clear any database weirdness and then go back.

Thanks for the help though....

Is there a way those who already registered before this MOD was installed be ask again to choose what group should they join?

Thanks.

For first option : No
For custom profile based groups: Yes - synchronise cpf based groups at ACP
