This version is for the PRIMARY group. Here is the one for secondary groups:

Add User to Secondary Usergroup Based on the Value of a Custom Profile Field at Reg.

As far as plugins goes, this one is an advanced plugin because you WILL need to make some tweaks to suit your needs.

What this plugin does: If you have a custom profile field, for example one for gender, it checks to see if the user has selected a specific value and then assigns them to a primary user group based on that selection. This happens at the time the user activates their email account after registering.

Instructions for installation:
A. Create your custom profile field and make a note of the field number. (Or simply make a note of the field number of an existing field.)

B. Make a note of the value you are checking for. For example, you may be looking to see if your member selected "male" in your custom gender field.

C. Make a note of the usergroup number that you want to set the user to.

D. Here you have two options:
Option 1: Edit the attached XML file before you import it to change the field number, the value that you check for and the usergroupid. In my XML file, I am checking field5 to see if the value is yes and changing the usergroup to 10.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<plugins>
	<plugin active="1" product="vbulletin">
		<title>Put User In User Group Based on Field Value</title>
		<hookname>register_activate_process</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[// Get the value for field 5
        $user = $db->query_first("
			SELECT field5
			FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield
			WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "
		");
		if ($user['field5'] == 'yes')
		{
			$userdata->set('usergroupid', 10);
		}]]></phpcode>
	</plugin>
</plugins>

If, for example, you want to check the value of field6, change field5 in the XML file to field6. If you are looking for "male" instead of "yes", change

Code:

if ($user['field5'] == 'yes')

to:

Code:

if ($user['field5'] == 'male')

And, finally, change the usergroup as appropriate. Instead of 10 in this line:

Code:

$userdata->set('usergroupid', 10);

substiture your usergroupid of choice.

Option 2: Import the XML file as is, open the plugin manager, and make your edits there.

NOTE: This mod works for forums that require users to verify their email address upon registration. If your forum does not require users to verify their email address, you will need to use a different hook. If I have time, I'll test that variation.
