Default [Additional] Membergroups upon Registration

[Senkusha]

I've been poking around on the modifications page looking for a mod that will automatically assign membergroups upon registration.  But, I want to assign these membergroups on the Additional Membergroups section, but not changing the Primary Member Group (I'm using membergroups as a method of Access Control.

I would love a full mod for this, but a simple database/php hack would be acceptable for a quick and dirty fix in the Registration php file.

I have two membergroups that I want all members to be initially assigned.  I'm thinking that the database query could be modified to include:

Code: [Select]

$query = $smcFunc('','
  UPDATE {db_prefix}members
  SET additional_groups = {string:memberGroups}
  WHERE id_member = {int:newMember}',
  array(
    'memberGroups = '15,16',
    'newMember' => $ID_MEMBER,
  )
);
Where:
  15, 16 are the ID's of the membergroups I want to add.
  $ID_MEMBER is the newly generated ID

Does this look correct?

Looks ok I suggest giving it a try.
