Nice plugin. I like it. 

Gary Sicard 1295 days ago

Plugin works as advertised and certainly a functionality sought by many including me.

I will release a blog post about it tomorrow at the latest.

Thanks!

spicyjr, your mod works nicely.  However, when I install the default_widgets mod, yours seems to stop working.  Since both mods are important, do you have any idea what may cause this problem?  Can we get these mods to play nicely?  I posted over on their mod page as well.

Also, is there a way to modify your mod, creating another mod, so that instead of autosubscribegroup, we have autofriend or something like that?  I would like for new users to automatically have a couple friends.

Ro 1273 days ago

hi. don't know what happen, maybe the system can't listen to two same events (creation of user) and delete one, i'll wait default_plugin's reaction, but it seems where the trouble is... :/

anyway, if you'd like to auto-invitefriend, there is another plugin called "betom" which does that.

Okay, I figured out the whole autosubscribegroup finally!  I didn't realize that you need to actually put the guid in, instead of the name (user ID) of the group!  So, now they are getting autosubscribed to a group and the be_tom mod is working too!

Great idea!

I am running Elgg 1.1 , and I am using your plugin, it's working good for me, thank you so much for this add!

spicyjr, I noticed something about the autosubscribegroup.  First of all, I love it and it works great.  But, I noticed that if the Membership is set to "Public" (something I wish was called "Logged in users"; I know that's how it works, as Logged in users, but it is confusing terminology there) and Access Permissions to "Group: MyGroup", that the new users don't get autosubscribed, which is strange to me.  If I set the Access Permissions to Logged in users, they do get autosubscribed.  Do you know why this is?  My preference would be to have the ability to set the Access Permissions to the group.  Is there no way to get the autosubscribegroup to work that way?  What are your thoughts?

Is there any documentation on how the user and group access permissions actually work, in practical terms?

Ro 1264 days ago

I was looking at the post above.

I opened the start.php page. The code is

  //Listen to user registration

        register_elgg_event_handler('create', 'user', 'autosubscribegroup_join',502);

    }

Do I change the 502 to the group GUID?

Thanks

Did anyone figure this plugin out?

How do you define the group(s) that will autosubscribe. Is it in the start.php file like Timothy was pointing out?

Also, I need to autosubscribe about 10 groups for a new member, so would I just copy and paste this code for each group?

Thanks!

What is the relation between this plugin and "auto subscribe to group 0.1"?

Dan Knauss 1199 days ago

i'm afraid it's the same, or maybe community improve the thing.

for all people who ask how to change the group to autosubscribe, it seems you didn't have a look at the plugin's settings in the admin tools panel... ;)

spicyjr 1199 days ago

is it going to work on 1.5 ??

Hisham 1099 days ago

I have elgg 1.5 and it works a treat!

Thanx!

HI there

Is there a similar plugin to register existing users in a group? ie autoenroll people already in the site into a new group?

Thanks

Hi

That 502 is the GUID to see which correspond to the group you want, running on the console of your elgg mysql:

SELECT * FROM `elgggroups_entity`

zitonguito 858 days ago

Above post is incorrect. That 502 defines the order in which this event is called by the system. It is not the guid. 

This plugin has now been incorporated into the Registration_Control plugin available here on elgg.org.

Clear instructions are given in that plugin's settings page in Admin backend.

This a great plugin, but could do with listening to the subscriber plugin, so when a new registrant automatically joins a group they also get automactically subscribed to that group as well.

Anyone?
