Betsy Gamrat	Monday 25 October 2004 7:34:39 am My site has 4 different types of users. I'd like the anonymous user to be able to choose which type of user they register as. So, I'd like the user to be able to choose the type of user they are and use that to assign them to a group with the appropriate permissions. I know the answer is probably on the site somewhere, but I can't find it! Thank you, Betsy
Betsy Gamrat	Friday 08 April 2005 3:37:00 am I solved this problem by allowing the anonymous user to create a custom user and assign it to a group (thank you eZ for suggesting this). If I had to do it all over again, I would probably use a separate site access for each different user to register.

Betsy Gamrat	Wednesday 29 June 2005 6:52:16 pm You can create a new user class by copying the existing, default user class, or by creating a new one from scratch. You can add any fields you would like to your user class. Be sure to make the class a member of both the Content and User groups. Now, allow the anonymous user create/edit privileges for that class, and provide an interface for the anonymous user to create the new user (templates or toolbars). This is code from a template: <FORM action=/ez/index.php/plain/content/action method=post> <INPUT type="submit" name=NewButton> <INPUT type=hidden value=8 name=NodeID> <INPUT type=hidden value=custom_user name=ClassIdentifier></FORM> The value=8 is the node id of the user group the new user will be assigned to. The value=custom_user is the name of the object class that will be created. Good luck!
