User types, registration, and category access

[angus (Angus McLeod)]

I would advise you keep the two pieces of functionality seperate (mentally and code-wise).

@Joshua_Kogan

Question 1 : Is there a way to require a user to select a group during their registration? Can manipulating the “custom wizard plugin” work for this? @angus or anyone else, thought?

This is possible via the custom wizard plugin, but we’d need to make some changes to it.

Question 2 : Is there a way to require a user to post a topic to category #1, before they can view the topics (yet see the topic list) of category #2? Can “ProCourse” and “ProCourse Teaser” be manipulated to allow this? @joebuhlig or anyone else, thoughts?

ProCourse Teaser works on the basis of group permissions, so essentially what you want is for a user to be automatically added to a group if they post in a certain category. This is relatively straightforward as a standalone plugin.

ProCourse Memberships would just do its own thing.

So essentially the custom work you want is:

• Add user group selection to the custom wizard
• Create a plugin that adds users to a group if they post in a category (in they’re not in the group already).

Does that align with your thinking?
