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.

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!

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?

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"?

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... ;)
