how can i allow the end user change what webuser group they sign up to.

Hi Anyone have an idea how when a user register they are able to choose via say a dropdown menu what web user group they join. So i basically need the $groups value to be influenced by the users choice.

Thanks

Ben

I’m just starting a project that needs the same feature.
If you can wait a short while I should be able to share whatever code is needed.

Hi Bunk58,
That would be great if you could keep me posted. I’m still trying ways to see if i can achieve this so if i do have any success i will also let you know.

I don’t suppose your project involves uploading multiple images to use with webloginpe, as that another thing i’ve posted what i’m stuck on.

Hi Bunk58,

I’ve been trying out a couple of things with regards the end user controlling what groups they join. I’ve had some success, now not sure if it’s the correct way of doing it but seems to do the trick.

First i set up a TV called setgroup with a defualt value of:


Then i set up a register template with the normal fields but also added a drop down for the different groups the user can join:

At first i had this within it’s it’s own form tag as thought may need to submit this first to assign the groups value before trying to register the user. This didn’t seem to work so I placed all the register fields and the group dropdown within the single form tag.

Finally i had a weblogin call on the register page:

Let me know what you think, this seems to work. I’ve tested in FF and safari both on mac.

I’ve also managed to applied a similar technique to allow the user list to be filter.

Thanks

I asked about this a while back... I never started work on it as it seemed a little hard for me but I’ll be keeping an eye on this idea!

[!WebLoginPE? &type=`register` &registerTpl=`regtpl2` &groups=`[*setgroup*]` &regSuccessId=`14` !]
