Joomla 1.6 user registration (selection of user groups)

[hasan]

Hi!

I have made few changes in the registration page and added user groups
to the form so that users can select only specified user groups shown
in drop down menu. I am unable to find the place where i can store
user group information into jos_user_usergroup_map table so users will
be alotted selected group. Thanks in advance.

I solved it by myself. I know it is very odd way to solve it but for
the time being I solved it. I added another field type "sql" and using
query I fetched my desired groups to form in dropdown menu. I made
changes in components/com_user/models/registration.php in register
function. I added $data['groups'][0]=$data['mygroups'];

After this. My users can select their own group and get their own
profiles depending upon their own group.

cheers

Hi Steve,

This is not possible using just the core functionality of Joomla!. Joomla! will only allow you to select one group to automatically put all users in. You can either use an extension which adds additional profile fields to the user registration (if you don't really need the Joomla! user groups' functionality) or use a subscriptions extension which is capable of placing users to different user groups, depending on their subscription status.

In the latter case, I can only tell you about the subscription component I have build, Akeeba Subscriptions, which does have this feature (and it's free of charge). If you assign a price of 0 to a subscription, you can use it for the exact purpose you seem to have in mind. If it's something that interests you, please contact me off list so that we don't get to spam the other participants with our chit-chat :)

Cheers,

Hi!

here is the work. I know this is hack but it worked for me for the
time being. I am also new to joomla development. I am working to use
over ride method so that we donot need to hack joomla core. Here is
the code which I used to fix this problem in joomla 1.6

Hi!

You go like that.

1. edit /components/com_user/models/forms/registration.xml

I added sql field like

<field name="group" type="sql"
description="Select your group"
filter="string"
label="Select your group"
query="select id as id, title as til from jos_usergroups where id =
10 or id = 9 or id = 12 or id = 13 order by title asc"
key_field="id" value_field="til"
message="COM_USERS_REGISTER_NAME_MESSAGE"
multiple="no"
required="true">
<option value="">Select group</option>
</field>
the important that is that field name is the same corresponding field
in the database. I have not tested but you can checked it and I
followed the same way. There is field 'group' available in jos_user
table. you can select what ever groups you want to bring to front end
through query.

2. then edit components/com_user/models/registeration.php in register
function at line 306 add

$data['groups'][0]=$data['group'];
That's it.
3. Donot forget to give permissions to user groups to login through
front end.
Go to back end site administration and go to users page there you will
find options button on top right corner. You will be able to see your
news user groups there and give permission to your usergroups for site
login.

this code bypasses the default group Id which is registered group. and
save new group id in jos_user_usergroup_map table against user id.

Hopefully, It will help you.

Best regards,
/Hasan

Are you using the groups to control view access, actions, both or neither?

Do you want to allow multiselect?

Do you want the groups to inherit from a common default group?

Do you want users to be able to self update this later?

Hi Hasan first of all i would like to thank you for taking the time to write back to me

i will try and do the same as you have discribed and will get back to you let you know how i get on!
 little confused over the first bit do i need to add the groups in the sql data base or will it pull them from the data base of wich i added from backend of joomla! hope not acting thick!
either way will give it a go !

once again thank you for your time

steve

[steve carter]

hi Elin
 
for example two groups seaking services and service providers

so when a service provider registers they will be able to add to sobi pro data base etc

and seeking service people wouldnt see this form poss even be able to fill in diferent form seeking etc

not able to multiselect or to change in profile edit

this is not all about acl and must be on registration as by the time admin approved and put into diff groups they prob wouldnt come back n fill in there profiles!

[hasan]

Hi Steve!

You donot need to add anything. If I explain in words, I just added
one field to the registration form and used sql data type to bring
desired user group to the registration form. I did't check with
multiple selection. If we use multiple selection then it will return
array of selected users. For that, we need to save array in the
database.

If you have any problem you can contact me.

[steve carter]

 Hi Husan i tried your method and it worked!! thank you for your help

many thanks steve

[rainweb]

Thanks Hasan for your tip.
For multiple select i solved in this way
in /components/com_user/models/forms/registration.xml i add a new field

<field name="sel_group" type="sql"
            description="Seleziona l'area di interesse"
            filter="string"
            label="Area di interesse:"
            query="select id, title from #__usergroups where id = 9 or id = 10 order by title asc"
            key_field="id" value_field="title"
            message="COM_USERS_REGISTER_NAME_MESSAGE"
            multiple="true"
            required="true"
            default="">
            <option value="">Seleziona</option>
        </field>

and in components/com_users/models/registration.php i add a loop control

// Prepare the data for the user object.
       
        foreach ($_POST[jform]['sel_group'] as $i => $value) {
            $data['groups'][$i]  = $value;
        }

Hi!

There are seven profile.php files in joomla. Can you narrow down the path and elaborate more?

[elin]

You can add whatever fields you want to a profile plugin.  The plugin there is just an example, in fact you can make your own and add fields or even more powerful  add additonal xml files to it and programmatically control which users see which fields in which contexts (there are 4 places in the core where the form is displayed if I remember correctly).

You can use js to  dynamically add fields to the form based on a selected  value. We used to do this in the menu manager, now we do it with a page reload when you pick he menu item type, which is also something you can do.
