Hi Guys,

As title states my requirement is to move different users in different user groups. I know ezPublish supports registration of the users is same user group (settings in site.ini.append.php).

I checked few posts which is suggesting to create another siteaccess to have another registration form and settings for user group, but this can be useful if you got requirement of around two usergroups.

In my case there are around 10 different user groups and requirement is to move the users to specific user groups (which will be selected by the user during registration process - modification of registration form, some sort of drop list of the usergroups)

Please guide me in the right direction with best method to solve my requirement.

Cheers

I sounds like eZp 4.2 could simplify this process for everyone at once. http://issues.ez.no/14882

I would actually apply the patch and proceed with local development in preparation for and using the workflow event / trigger system to complete tasks like these.

Cheers,
Heath

You can also do custom user activation in 4.1 and up.
See [UserSettings]VerifyUserType for how to setup custom account activation handlers, same can be done with RegistrationFeedback.

This was added to be able to support activation through sms for instance, but you can pretty much do whatever you want in them. Just remember to handle the user activation correctly (see default email code).

Thank you guys for you kind help. Much appreciated...

@Heat - I am using 4.0.1, is it possible to apply the patch to the version I am using. Can you please explain the suggested process in bit more detail.

@Andre - gone through the code which you mentioned.

   else if ( $verifyUserType )// custom account activation
            {
                $verifyUserTypeClass = false;
                // load custom verify user settings
                if ( $ini->hasGroup( 'VerifyUserType_' . $verifyUserType ) )
                {
                    if ( $ini->hasVariable( 'VerifyUserType_' . $verifyUserType, 'File' ) )
                        include_once( $ini->variable( 'VerifyUserType_' . $verifyUserType, 'File' ) );
                    $verifyUserTypeClass = $ini->variable( 'VerifyUserType_' . $verifyUserType, 'Class' );
                }
                // try to call the verify user class with function verifyUser
                if ( $verifyUserTypeClass && method_exists( $verifyUserTypeClass, 'verifyUser' ) )
                    $sendUserMail  = call_user_func( array( $verifyUserTypeClass, 'verifyUser' ), $user, $tpl );
                else
                    eZDebug::writeWarning( "Unknown VerifyUserType '$verifyUserType'", 'user/register' );
            }

I am totally confused. It would be appreciated if you can explain in bit more depth.
