[SOLVED] Can we add a registered user to a new joomla ACL group on a menu click

Good Day

I have 4 add item menu buttons which allow adding content to 4 different categories. I would like to add a registered member to a new user group depending on the menu item selected and only if they submit the item.
Is that possible with the Usergroup actions part of CB Auto Actions??
I would do this through the registration process but 1 client may want to choose more than one category to enter their items in and a radio button group only allows 1 choice.

Thanks

Not quite. I suppose you could somehow use the Internal Users trigger and its CRON URL to do this, but I really don't suggest that approach. You also wouldn't want to expose this URL to a menu item.

You could use a multi-select then just have a CB Auto Actions for each usergroup handling. Then it should work ok for selecting more than 1.

Thanks Kyle
I will give that a try. Perhaps I will try check box first?? It is my experience that it is easier for a client to check boxes than know how to select more than 1 item in a select group.

Thanks again

Multi-checkbox would work fine. You'd basically be following the below tutorial.

The exception being your usertype field would be a multi-checkbox and your conditions need to be "Does Contain". Example conditional as follows.

[cb_usertype] Does Contain Student

Thank you Kyle
I was about to contact you as it was not working. I guess you knew I was in trouble because your last reply gave me the answer.

conditions need to be "Does Contain"

I had equal to..
Thanks for answering my post before I sent it.. lol
I also have it conditional to the previous radio button field to make it visible.
This post is solved. :woohoo:
Works great now thanks.
