I guess my question is in regard to the minimum value of "0", for some reason it does not work as I am anticipating. The definition of minimum value states "Users will be added to this group if they exceed the minimum value." exceed being the keyword. I was hoping that it was equal or greater than. I have the follow auto groups.
GROUP AUTO GROUP TYPE MINIMUM VALUE MAXIMUM VALUE SET GROUP DEFAULT NOTIFY USERS
Full User Posts 1 0 Yes No
Full User Membership days 30 0 Yes No
New Users Posts 0 1 Yes No
Here is what I would like to have
I would like users to be added to the New User group and that be the users default group if they have 0 posts.
I would like the user removed from New User and added to Full User, with Full User set as their default if they have 1 or more post (new user is in the moderation queue, where Full user is not, just trying to prevent some spam posts.), or Added to Full user once membership days is greater than 30. I see no way to remove New User on Membership days alone otherwise they would still be in New User after their first post if it was within 30 days, which is not a big issue as long as Full User is the default group.
What I am seeing happen is.
Users are not being added to the New User group until they have one post, and it is not being set to their default group. Registered User is their default group. After their 2nd post they are being added to Full User and in some cases it is being changed to their default group and others it is not.
Can anyone recommend the "triggers" need to achieve what I would like to have?
Trying to understand clearly - Auto Groups
Re: Trying to understand clearly
A user is considered as being within the autogroup condition if corresponding criteria (posts, membership days etc) is greater or equal to the minimum value AND (less or equal to the maximum value or the maximum value is empty (that includes 0)).
In your example, you have 1 post as a minimum for Full User group and 1 post as a maximum for New Users group. Hence all users having 1 post always satisfy both conditions. That probably leads to the random behavior of switching users forth and back between 2 groups depending on the order of checking conditions by the board cron.
