Login component - allowing registrant to choose usergroup

Login is an excellent component, but I need a little help. I have a registration form set up and I’d like the registrants to be able to select a User Group from a list - rather than defining the user group(s) in the snippet parameters. e.g:

[[!Register?
    &submitVar=`registerbtn`
    &activationResourceId=`32`
    &activationEmailTpl=`lgnActivateEmailTpl`
    &activationEmailSubject=`Thanks for Registering!`
    &submittedResourceId=`2`
&usergroups=`somethingheretopickupwhattheregistranthaschosen`
]]
<form...>
<select name="usergroups"><option value="group1">... etc.

I’ve tried preHooks but not sure if that’s relevant. Any help, much appreciated.

Hey jimbob72,
I have exactly the same "problem". Did you find an solution?

Would be glad to hear from you (or anybody else who’s giving a approach to this problem).

hey perfectcircle

I didn’t find a solution, but I did find a workaround for my site. I now have a pre-registration page where the user selects their user group and I pass the resulting value to the registration form using a URL querystring:

<div class="register">
<p>Please select your profile:</p><br/>
<p><a href="register/registration?role[]=Private">Private investor</a></p>
<p><a href="register/registration?role[]=Professional">Professional investor</a></p>
<p><a href="register/registration?role[]=IFA">IFA</a></p>
<p><a href="register/registration?role[]=Manager">Fund manager</a></p>
</div>

Then I pick up the value in the form using a simple parsing snippet.

Use a posthook, and assign the user to the selected usergroup/s that way.

Let me know if you need more help.
