XF 2.1 User Grp Promotion

[WhiskeyMac]

Would someone please point out what I am doing wrong.
I have set up a user group promotion to promote users to "Premium Member" status.
But it is not making any changes (I am running the CRON entry manually to test)

These are the settings I have made:








The user group promotion depends on the user being

• user state = "Valid"
• and member of "Registered"
• and not a member of "Ex-member"
• and Subs Paid = "Y" (this is a custom user field where only content can be space or "Y" or "N")

When I ruun the CRON entry nothing happens even though I know there is a user record that complies with the conditions above

any ideas ?

Hi WhiskeyMac, would you mind telling me what you are using now? I am trying to figure out how to promote users so that they can access other parts of my forum.

Hi ddogg777

I have simply used the basic facilities.

Luckily we have a small club of 60 or so members so it is tedious but doable to amend every record manually.

For other reasons - notably the behaviour of add-ons - it has become obvious that the Primary User Group should always be "Registered" (or not) - any new user groups you may wish to have such as "Premium" in my case - is only set on the Secondary User Group.

Then of course you can set the visibility / accessibility of forums or parts of the system using that membership and the built in features of Xenforo.

Even on the public navigation area - where I have special items only available to Premium Members - I use a conditional statemement such as :



To ensure that only "Premium Members" can access these items.

I hope that helps
