[MODDB] Groups on Registration and Custom Profile Fields

[nasadows]

The mod is working great, and your added code to do the "Password to group" is also working perfectly.

One step further, can you show me how to make the password work with Groups at Reg rather than with Groups on CPF?

Since once chosen the CPF way I will have to adapt with the problem that the "link" between CPF <-> Group seems to reset after each config save (and I expect I will be re-configging quite often to add new groups / change the settings), it may be more convenient / time saving to use Group at Reg rather than CPF to accomplish the task.

Thank you so much again for this wonderful mod!

Code: Select all

	'SHOULD_SELECT_GROUPS'					=> 'You should one or more groups',

After add

Code: Select all

	'GROUP_PASSWORD'						=> 'Group password',
	'GROUP_PASSWORD_EXPLAIN'				=> 'You may enter pasword to be added to group automatically',

Open

Code: Select all

		//We add user to a new group selected on registration

Before add

Code: Select all

		if (request_var('group_password', '') == 'test-1234')
		{
			$pending = 0;
		}

I haven't tested this code, but I expect it to work, auto-pending members to one or more groups.
password is "test-1234"

I only see 1 password, can it be used with different pass per group like what you did with CPF?
It sounds harder this way for you, I guess, because the last time it was with CPF you can use an array with the same suffix _passwords?

If it is much complex than CPF, I might just keep the old way. Thanks.

To use different passwords for groups on registration
Use the edits instead
Open
includes/functions_group_on_regs.php
Find

Code: Select all

		//We add user to a new group selected on registration

Before add

Code: Select all

 $groups_passwords = array();
$groups_passwords[5] = 'aaa124';
$groups_passwords[12] = 'bbb248';
$groups_passwords[15] = 'ccc369';
//5, 12 and 15 are the group_ids those are displayed on registration
          if (isset($groups_passwords[$group_id]) && request_var('group_password', '') == $groups_passwords[$group_id])
          {
             $pending = 0;
          }

This mod isn't working on 3.0.6. When a user registers, an error message appears. Has anyone else upgraded to 3.0.6 and found this error?

Error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare messenger::$tpl_obj in /...../includes/functions_messenger.php on line 34

[mtrs]

This mod doesn't touch /functions_messenger.php, do you have any other mods in your board?

I do have other mods. For some reason I thought functions_messenger.php was part of this mod. My apologies.

[nasadows]

3.06 has come out, can we hope for a finalised (approved) version of this mod soon ?

[mtrs]

3.0.6 came out, but I will need to test and update the mod package for 3.0.6, then submit to MODDB again. I haven't done it yet.

[mtrs]

Mod updated for 3.0.6
- Magic number replaced in a couple of places
- Custom profile fields warning added
See contrip folder to update from RC4/Rc5 to RC6/1.0.1 (only on 3.0.6)
If you use 3.0.5 use RC5 version of this mod, see first post to download

[charley]

I've got this mod running on 3.0.6 with no problems (mod version RC5).

I'm assuming the latest update is minor changes, and that the mod functionality in version RC5 isn't at risk? I will be updating to RC6, but I can't get round to it straight away unless there are major problems addressed in the latest update?

TIA

[mtrs]

The functions-features are the same in RC5 and RC6-1.0.1, but there was AutoMOD install error with RC5-3.0.6. The RC6-1.0.1 update fixes that AutoMOD install error. It is due to function added for cpf update in ucp profile, and acp users files in 3.0.6. But, you cannot install RC6-1.0.1 to 3.0.5, due to updated file edits for 3.0.6

I have an in depth question...

What i'm trying to do is utilize color post background on specific users (developers), to differentiate their posts in the forum. A mod is available to do this: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... s&start=90

However it is only available to Admins/Group Moderators for colored posts. The author is also not adding any updates and is busy.

I want users to be able to select whether they are a developer or an enthusiast in the registration form (which i've already set up).

Is there a way to cheat the registration/database and allow users to signup as a "Developer" but really set as a Group Moderator? The actual permissions for a group moderator have been limited extensively, same as a newly registered user so that is not an issue.

How can i go about changing this groups on registration form to register group moderators by default rather than "newly registered" users?

any help is appreciated

This does not affect default setting as adding to groups at registrations, (Registered users, Newly registered users).
Second, as a security precaution, this mod cannot add users to groups having a_ and m_ permissions.
