Hello,
Great component!
Works well for adding users.
In my situation I'm having to add a user to a new usergroup that needs to be created before the user is added. I would like to add the usergroup to the type that is selected.
For example...
New username is "Example User"
Usertype is "Author"
Child user group "Example User" created with "Author" as the parent.
Any thoughts about how I would go about implementing this?
I also have to create menu items, articles, modules, and etc... when the user is added but I can take care of that later.
The first thing I need to do is create the user and new usergroup properly. I was having trouble figuring out where two fields in the usergroup table where being created from or I'd be able to just do an sql insert. "lft" and "rgt" are the fields and it seemed like the other group entries were updated somehow when a new group is added.
Hey Steve,
I dont know exactly what those columns (lft and rgt )do for joomla. I never tried this stuff before. So i cant really help you. But it must be possible to do what you explained to me.
I should be able to figure something out. I was just hoping for some tips since I've been given a 4 day deadline.
I think they have something to do with ordering of the groups but I'm not sure. I'll have to look into it more. I've already got some sql logs to look at.
If I can get everything working the way I want, It'll handle all the automated tasks I need executed for adding a new user, user specific group, menu items, articles, modules, and etc...
It'd be nice if there was a simple J1.6 class I could use for this but oh well...
