Hello,

I think I have read about this on the forum but I can't find the topic corresponding. So here's my question :
How can we do to attribute group during registration ? By example, a student suscribes and chooses his subject like "spanish".
I would like it automatically makes him part of the Joomla's Group's users " Spanish".

I know this feature isn't currently implemented but I remember I have read on this forum that's is possible by customising with php. Can I have a clue about this ?
Secondly, would this feature be implemented soon ?

Thanks a lot,

EG
Hello Edouard,

Unfortunately this function is not available in easy social & is not possible to customize the PHP file as it required to change the whole structure of the code. We cant really guarantee whether it will be implemented in the next release of easy social for this function.

But if you are refering to this joomla group shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/OVuIBehivT you may create a user group by going to your joomla backend > users > groups > add new group > name your user group name & set the group parent shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/xecG4oj9i .

After you have set your user profile type you may go to your easy social > profile type > new shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/RWq8DC02 . From there you may create a new user user group called 'Spanish' for example. When you create a new user group be sure that you set the default group shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/e3goqFjZ .

After you have created a new profile type, you may have to set the access level for the profile type easy social > profile type > your new profile type > access shown here in this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/Q1SEKigh .

Kheng Wei

Thanks for your answer.

I understand your explanations, that's I have done for student who have to chose their level. But then when they have to choose an option (like English, Spanish or German) during their registration, it's a big problem if I can't make them join a group.

I'm suprised we can't custom php code to this. Unfortunately it's a essential feature for my projet so I'm probably going to ask for a refund and use cb Builder. It's a pity cause stackideas products are great.

Thanks,

EG

Hello Edouard,

Sorry for the confusions here. I think my colleague may have misunderstood you here. You can customize this but you will need to be on your own as this is actually out of the scope of our support (This is what my colleague actually meant).

What I think would work for you, is to create a new custom field for EasySocial and in this custom field, request users to enter specific groups. When the field processes the registration, it adds the necessary user group for the user

Again, sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. You could practically build anything that you want with EasySocial because it's extremely extensible via the custom fields app or user applications
