XF 1.1 Massively change primary usergroup

[Francesco V.]

I migrated from vBulletin where i had a custom usergroup named Registered Full. When users reached 20 posts their primary usergroup switched from standard Registered to Registered Full.
After migration i have those users in a xenforo primary usergroup named Registered Full. What i wish is to switch those users to Registered as primary and adding Registered Full as Secondary.

How can i achieve it ? Should i play directly with the database ?

The easiest way (without resorting to hackish methods) would be to delete the Registered Full usergroup - all of the members which have that group as their primary will then default to the Registered user group as the primary.

Then you can create a new Registered Full user group and a corresponding promotion.

Do you mean that if i delete user group Registered Full, all the users belonging to it will get Registered as primary group ?

 

[Francesco V.]

ok i made a test on a local installation and all users were moved to registered.
Now i created a promotion, with condition if message >= 20 then add to Registered Full secondary group, then i run the cron job for promotion but nothing happens. No users got the promotion

Once the promotion has been saved, any members active within the last 72 hours who match all of the criteria, will be promoted.

yep, i read that but that means any member active in the last 72 hours starting from the last cron job run ?

You can run the cron manually:

Jake, is your cronjob here ( http://xenforo.com/community/thread...cron-running-out-of-memory.31541/#post-362657) still valid ? Can i run it in order to force the promotion for ALL user ?

Yes it is. That can alleviate memory problems if you have tens of thousands of users to process.

 

[Francesco V.]

Hummm, anyway i run it but no effect. Do yo confirm that it process ALL users, not checking if they were active in the last 72 hours ?

Thanks a lot

Ok, i'm a dumb that forgot that i'm able to read code

Is ok if i delete

, 'last_activity' => array('>', XenForo_Application::$time - 86400 * 3)

from

        $conditions = array(
            'user_state' => 'valid',
            'is_banned' => 0,
            'last_activity' => array('>', XenForo_Application::$time - 86400 * 3)
        );

in order to not count last activity ?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Correct. Remove that line to process all users.
