Auto Join Group (Group Jive cb_groupselect) + CB Connect

I'm at a loss here and haven't found a solution by searching the forums...

I want to use the auto join group functionality and also use the CB Connect functionality to sign in with a social network. From what I understand with CB Connect there's no way to 'make' it ask for the group you want to join. And also I've read that there's no way to display the field cb_groupselect on the profile so that the user could at least select the group to complete their profile.

So, my question is... is there any way around this besides getting rid of the CB Connect functionality?

Thanks!

CB Connect bypasses normal registration and the auto join field is only accessible from registration. So there's no way for a user joining with CB Connect to select a group.

That's what I thought.

What about after they join via CB Connect... is there a way to make the group select display as a field in a tab?

Actually, maybe there is... via the field of type: Query Dropdown Select. But I'll probably get rid of the 'sign in with social network' functionality and just leave the option to link to social networks when logged in.

No, that custom field specifically only renders during registration displays.

You could combine a CB Query Field and its Query Select fieldtype with CB Auto Actions to force users into GJ groups after profile update when they change the value of the field, but there are quite a few group access permission checks that go on that would be bypassed doing this. So you could end up with users in groups they normally can't access, but that really depends on your GJ usage and what groups you allow them to select.
