XF 2.3 Usergroup Depending On Q&A Answer When Registering?

[PPC Coach]

I'm using the Q&A when they register to prevent spammers and it works awesome.

I would like to take it to the next level if possible.

If the new registrant answers "secretcode1", I want them put into the normal usergroup.

However, if the new registrant answers "secretcode2", I want to put them into the "Premium" usergroup.

Is there a way to check what answer they give and assign them to the correct usergroup like this?

It will necessitate custom development.

It can't be done with the Q&A captcha, but it can be done with custom fields.

Now THAT has me thinking of many new ideas! I only use the question/answer with two simple choices, and never get fake registrations.

ETA of course, I don’t get any traffic either lol

Oh!

That could definitely work.

Could I get that field to populate from registration?

Like if I put a custom field in the registration form?

(not sure how to do that but there must be a way?)

Thank you for that.

You get that option when you create a custom user field under General options.

PERFECT...

Exactly what I needed thank you!

One other question, how often do user group promotions run?

If I set this up and use a custom field in the registration form then add in a usergroup promotion, will it run immediately and add that person the new usergroup?

or is it a cron job that runs?

There is a cron. Hourly by default - you can change that of course but could be a performance hit if too frequent I imagine.
