unassigning a group was created by IceMaehn
Hello,


i got the plugin working fine for me J3.2x / AG 1.12 using it to subscribe a user into the special group (my_new_group1). but the user is always registered in the standard group (joomla default->registered) too - and i don't want that. the user should be registered just in one group -> (my_new_group1). how can i solve that. is it possible to use AG to unassign a user from a group? -> i tried that using "false" or "unassign" bit that did not work. maybe i use the wrong syntax.

Thanks for any hint. Ice

Hi Ice,
I never thought about this kind of feature, beacuse usually it is a good practice to leave "Registered" group assigned to registered users, and add or remove additional groups as needed. This is useful to avoid potential issues related to a missing "Registered" group.

Anyway, if you need to do this I just need some additional information to help you and find a fast solution. So, AG works assigning (and unassigning) groups based on the value of a field. You could get the result for "Registered" group only if you have a field value dedicated to this group. A line like this could solve:
fieldname;Registered only;Registered;true

If you need (as it seems) to just unassign the registered when another group is set, we need to customize the AG behaviour, but I need more details (e.g Is the user that can change his group? What happens when the user leave the group?).

For these details, if you prefer, you can send me an email at info(at)selfget.com.

Kind regards,
Luigi

I have only one idea at the moment...

You have a drop-down list field (e.g. cb_level) with N values, and the user can select a value once registered, as example:
Bronze
Silver
Gold

You can add a line to Auto Group as follow:
cb_level;Registered;Registered;true

The user (already registered) will never choose Registered value (not present) so the final "true" will tell to Auto Group to unassign the Registered group. Note that this cannot be selected anymore.

Kind regards,
Luigi
