SOLVED - [Register] Checkboxes and usergroups

Hi all
I'm using Login.Register to register my users... All works fine if the property '&usergroups' is "hard-coded" like that

[[!Register?
    &submitVar=`registerbtn`
    &activationResourceId=`57`
    &activationEmailTpl=`activationEmailTpl`
    &activationEmailSubject=`Thanks`
    &submittedResourceId=`70`
    &usergroups=`Group1,Group2`
    &validate=`nospam:blank,
        username:required
        password:required,        
        password_confirm:password_confirm=^password^,
        name:required`    
    &placeholderPrefix=`reg.`    
]]

Now I need to let my users choose the Group they will be assigned. So I put some checkboxes in my form and then I'm facing 2 problems:

1/ the values of the checked checkboxes are not 'transmitted' in the hidden field :
Having a look at the $_POST and I see groups[] groups[]=Group1 groups[]=Group3 (in the case I checked Group1 and Group3)-
In the email activation [[+groups]] is printed as it is [[+groups]], but if I put [[+groups.0]], [[+groups.1]] [[+groups.2]] the checked values are returned and others return [[+groups.n]]
2/ I can't find a way to set the property '&usergroups' dynamically with the values of the checkboxes.
Here the code for the checkboxes

<input type="hidden" name="groups[]" value="" />
<input type="checkbox" class="styled" name="groups[]" value="Group1" [[!+reg.groups:isChecked=`Group1`]] > G1 Member</input>
 
<input type="checkbox" class="styled" name="groups[]" value="Group2" [[!+reg.groups:isChecked=`Group2`]] > G2 Member</input>
 
<input type="checkbox" class="styled" name="groups[]" value="Group3" [[!+reg.groups:isChecked=`Group3`]] > G3 Member</input>

The 'isChecked' modifier is a basic copy/paste of the formitIsChecked snippet.

INSTALLATION :
Revolution 2.2.0-rc3 from git
WAMP server install on Windows7
PHP 5.3.8
MySQL server: 5.5.16-log
MySQL Client : mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision: 310735 $

I'm facing a wall and any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

anso,

I'm not sure to completely follow how you are doing things here.
A possible (untested) solution could be a postHook (again!). Since your groups field seems like to be an array, implode(',', $hook->getField('groups')); should return 'Group1,Group3'. Then you should be able to define the Register usergroups parameter ($scriptProperties['usergroups'] = implode(',', $hook->getField('groups'))).

That's just an idea/how i would try to do it, but once again, i do not have tested this...

Hope that will help

Romain,
I'm a bit confused myself (tired and sick as I said)...
The checked values are stored as extended field (in the user profile) so yes it's an array (once the user object is saved) ... so I think the simplest way is to get the values from the Profile and use joinGroup() to add my user to the correct groups...

I will try too to set the &usergroups property as you suggest using ($scriptProperties['usergroups'] = implode(',', $hook->getField('groups'))).... But if I do that in a postHook the $scriptProperties is already evaluated and set (true ?) ? It cannot be a preHook (i need the checked values), do I have to put it in a validator(on field groups[]) instead ...

For now I need to have a sleep... Tomorrow with a fresh (almost) brain and clearest ideas (i hope) I suppose I'll achieve this...
Thanks again for your help

anso,

I've just tested and you seem to be right, there is no way to change the usergroups parameter (at least not with $scriptProperties in a postHook). As you wrote storing the values to the modUserProfile can be an option.

Another one (food for though) can be to redirect to an "hidden" resource (using &submittedResourceId), storing the groups & user id values (using &persistParams). On the hidden resource you would have your snippet grabbing the parameters set with persistParams, adding the users to the groups and finally a sendRedirect to where you want.

I'm currently working on an invitation system (working together with Login snippets) and i'm doing likewise to create the relationships ("inviter" > invitee).

Get well soon wink

Hi Romain, Hi all,

After a good sleep things go clearer ! I finally have a working postHook that set the username with name and firstname, and assign user to groups he has selected via checkboxes.
For those interested here's my code

<?php
$username = $hook->getValue('username');
$name = $hook->getValue('name');
$firstname = $hook->getValue('firstname');

// set the fullname with name and first name
$user = $hook->getValue('register.user');
$profile = $hook->getValue('register.profile');
$profile->set('fullname', $hook->getValue('name') . ' ' . $hook->getValue('firstname'));

// get the extented fields
$fields = $profile->get('extended');
$groups = $fields['group']; // this one is an array containing the checkboxes values
foreach ($groups as $key=>$value){
    $user->joinGroup($value);
}
// save $profile to update fullname, save $user to be sure
$profile->save();
$user->save() ;
return true;

Cheers

You can have users put into groups with check box input fields like this (Login 1.9.0-pl):

<input type="checkbox" name="usergroups[]" id="groups1" value="Members" /> Members
<input type="checkbox" name="usergroups[]" id="groups2" value="Others" /> Others

[[!Register?
    &submitVar=`registerbtn`
    &activationResourceId=`11`
    &activationEmailTpl=`lgnActivateEmailTpl`
    &activationEmailSubject=`Thanks for Registering!`
    &submittedResourceId=`10`
    &usergroupsField=`usergroups`
]]
