CB Connect | differentiate from normal users ?

Just loud thinking...

What differentiates a CB-Connect user from a normal registered user? I mean, technically and in stored field information.

Let's say... I would have the standard usergroups registered and authors on a site. Do facebook logins count as registered? And if so, do they have some additional info, that identifies them?

In short, I am thinking of a simple user group "registered" with almost no privileges.
And a superior group like Authors, that might have full CB profiles and more features...
Which leads me to a second related question: CBautoActions. Can I set/revoke the Author group based on a special field value? What about a DOCman group?

(J! 1.5, CB 1.7.1)


PS: I don´t want to use CBsubs at the moment

They're like any other use except they didn't go through the normal registration process and complete all of your registered fields. Instead they made 1-2 clicks and registered with their Facebook information for example.

Can I set/revoke the Author group based on a special field value?

With CB Auto Actions 2.0.0, yes.

What about a DOCman group?

Nope, I've no integration for DOCman.

Could this be done with AutoActions and custom SQLqueries ?
(No, i am not going to ask for the SQL syntax in the next post Yes or No is enough)

I believe so, but latest DOCmans offer an API I believe. Have already created a feature ticket to add a DOCman model (assign users to DOCman groups) to CB Auto Actions as well.

Current DOCman (J1.5+ compatible) will stay with own groups.
(I guess, the new DOCman 2 is going to rely on J! ACL and groups. Hope so.)

There is also the powerful jDownloads, which also comes with own groups .
(not sure about the new J!1.7 branch.)

Would you mind to add a jDownloads model ?

If is the case then won't be adding a DOCman model as a model is already present to add usergroups. Will investigate further when time comes to implement.

No, I've no experience with the extension and don't know the developers. You can probably add them quite easily using a Query action.
