If you want all of your users to be registered into a specific group automatically, go to your components/com_smf_registration/smf_registration.php file.

beneath the function saveRegistration( $option )
you will see this code:



change the Registered to whatever group you wish your users to be registered as. A good example would be if you want to allow all of your registered users to submit content, such as Authors. Simply change Registered to Author and it is so!

Hope it helps!

Hi Cronlin,
Great tip!! Dont spose you have an idea of how this could be applied to the JoomlaHacks SMF bridge? I initially thought it was the same, but then remembered that it was the other bridge that i had used before that had the SMF Registration component.

I really need to have the user level changed to author on registration, but not sure how to achieve this

Any thoughts / ideas / suggestions, would be much appreciated!!

Regards,
Chris

well, i believe it would be the same basic concept. Just find the registration component and then find where it will say users - registered and change the registered to whatever you prefer...

In Orstio's bridge, I think there is an easier way to do this now (as of 1.1.14 and above).  Go in to the "Groups" tab of the SMF bridge configuration, and change all of the groups that say "Registered" to "Author".  Looking at the code, I think it sets your Mambo users level based on those settings (specifically, the Newbie one).
