XF 1.5 User Promoting, changing group by postings

[vFranky]

Hello,

in vBulletin we have the function to move users automatically from one user group to another when they reach a number of postings. Where do I find such a function in XenForo?

Kind regards & thank you in advance,
Frank

Have a look at the user group promotion system.

Thank you!

I have created a user group promotion from registred user to another group, when I user reaches 5 postings. Will the user automatically loose the old user group (registered) when he is being promoted? I see to toggle between changing group and additional group.

The system works by adding other user groups as secondary user groups.
The primary user group won't change and will always remain as the Registered user group.

This guide explains how to set up permissions when members are in multiple user groups: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/implementing-permissions-across-multiple-user-groups.358/

Thank you. I personally would prefer to have only one group here, but it is what it is.

I use user promotions based on their postings. It seems that the promotions happen with a few minutes delay. Is there a background task active?

There's a User Group Promotion cron in the ACP which runs every 20 minutes. Note that promotions are only applied to recently active users. Any who aren't active will (immediately) have any relevant promotions applied when they next visit the forums.

Thank you very much.
