[SOLVED] Change user group after registration

[Sultan]

Hi,

I have diff. groups:

1. visitors [id=1]
2. member [id=2]
3. vip [id=3]
4. friends [id=4]

When a visitor register he/she will be added to the visitor group [id=1] by default.

What I am trying to do here is, once a visitor register and create account, I want to change his/her group to be member group [id=2] automatically not manually.

WHY?!

We accept order by phone, and we would like to encourage our visitors to sign-up and register in our website so they can get 5% off if they made their own orders using their accounts. By using this "member group" the prices will be displayed with the 5% discount once they log in.

On the other hand, if a customer call to make an order, he/she shouldn't get this 5% off, so we need to display our prices without the 5% off.


I really need help here, Please help/advice...

Thanks in advance...

Okay,

I found out how to do it :-)

and here is how if any one would like to do it:

[1] open Customer.php on FTP_ROOT/classes/
[2] search for the following code (line 118 or around on 1.3.1.1)

$this->id_default_group = 1;

[3] change 1 to the group id you want it to be default for registered customers.
[4] Save.

You are ready to go

HTH some one...

with this solution you just save the default group. Nothing else....
do you know any solution for that the customer can choose another group from the default group at the registration ????

It is'n ok. When I make Order without registration, then system apply 5% discount. It is wrong.

Hi,

 

Can we done this without changing the code????

[bellini13]

you can go into the back office and manually change the group the customer belongs to. otherwise you would have to change the code.
