Adding a web user to a specific group using WebSignup snippet

Hey

Im currently using the WebSignup snippet. like so [[WebSignup?&group=`Testers`]] and subsequently have created a group called Testers too.

My problem is that when a user registers they aren’t being assigned to the Tester group? The user is indeed being generated fine but just no group allocation?

Am I missing something here?

ALSO, can you (in the snippet call) specify a document ID so the user can be automatically directed to this page on signing in? Again I tried using [[WebSignup?&group=`Testers`&tpl="2"]] but no luck here either.

Thanks in advance

Isn’t it &groups=`Testers` ?

Sorry, it was a typo in my forum post. It is indeed groups I have in my snippet call.

Your call should work, are you being consistent with the group name?
By default after signing up the user just gets a confirmation message.
This comes from the tpl chunk or if none is specified from the websignup.inc.php file.

You can redirect them once they have logged in via the login form e.g.

Thanks for the reply

So....Im taking for granted that when assigning a user to a group via the registration form, the user groups (in the backend) should then list the new user?

It definitely isn’t doing this?

Re: my other point about directing users to a specific home page. What if different users need to be directed to different pages? Like a client login area?

Guys,

I had initially added the snippet call to the page content and realised that "&" was being converted to "&"

I wondered if this was affecting the snippet so threw it into a chunk and called that - it now works perfect.

Thanks for the help (as usual!)

One conversion from & to & still works, but every now and then TinyMCE gets it into its Tiny head to convert the & in & to & and you end up with & which most definitely won’t work. Generally speaking, if you see & in the rich text field, you’re OK. If you see & in the rich text field, best move things out to a chunk and clean it up.
