This menu of the administration contains all settings that take affect during your visitor's registration process. The Registration process and User Groups go hand in hand. This is because users are entered into a User Group during the registration process. If you have set up more than one User Group in the Admin Panel and have given each User Group a registration code, then the first page of the registration process will be displayed for the user to enter a Registration Code if they have one (you will have to provide them with the registration code). If they do not have a code, they can choose the 'no code' button and they will automatically be placed in the default User Group.

An alternative to displaying a Registration Code box on the first page would be to customize the page with your own dropdown box and essentially let them choose their own User Group.

The optional form below would allow you to offer a choice of groups for a user to register under. This would appear in the registration code page where the new registrant is asked to enter a registration code if they have one. Using this form you could give your registrants an easy way to choose a group without having to remember a registration code. Place this within the html text on the page you want it to appear. Within the this version you can even remove the (!MAINBODY!) tag from your template to remove the registration code blank text box and place the following html to force a choice between the available groups. Again, the use of the following form is entirely optional:

<form method=post action=register.php>

<select name=c[registration_code]>

<option value=registration_code_a>Group A</option>

<option value=registration_code_b>Group B</option>

<option value=registration_code_c>Group C</option>

</select>

<input type=submit name=c[submit_registration_code] value=enter registration group selection>

</form>

<tip c w> IMPORTANT: THIS SOFTWARE DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHARGE USERS WHEN THEY REGISTER ON YOUR SITE. YOU WILL ONLY CHARGE USERS DURING THE "LISTING PROCESS".</tip>
