Choose Usergroup on Registration?

[Mufasa]

Hello XenForo community!

I am currently working on this website that runs multiple gameservers and each of these gameservers have a section on the forums, i would like to know if there is anyway to get new users to choose a usergroup on registration- depending on what gameserver they are playing on - to allow them to view that servers section?

I have had a loom around and cannot find anything like this, can one of you help me? Is there an addon i have missed or a code modification ive zoomed passed?

Thank you

Are they going to be allowed to pick multiple groups?

 

[Mufasa]

yeah, sure.

OK, so I'd personally do this via User Groups and Custom Fields.

First, set up all your user groups that you need. eg:

GameServer1
GameServer2
GameServer3
GameServer4

Then, create a Custom Field. Set the Field Type to be a Multiple-choice drop down selection. Set your possible choices.



Then set a User Group Promotion based on the value of the Custom Field.




That should do what you are wanting to do.

Ok, this works perfectly,

EDIT. I solved it using priorities

In the group settings:

Display Styling Priority:

Set the priority of the group you want to show as their default styling to a high value, and that will over write the styling of their default group.
